Mesurer l'effet du travail salarié sur la réussite : une analyse statistique sur les étudiants d'une université française

Le type d’emploi exercé a également un effet sur les chances de réussite : les jeunes ayant un emploi dans le secteur public et ceux qui ont la possibilité d’aménager leur emploi du temps paraissent moins…

This manifests itself through reduced class attendance and reduced time spent in independent study. Finally, we find that the probability of student employment is most significantly affected by the availability of financial aid, gender, ethnicity, a…
Student employment in France: Hindrance rather than help for higher educational success?
2021
International audience; In this study, we examine how student employment impacts higher educational trajectories in France. Focussing on undergraduates’ educational outcomes, we show the consequences of different intensities and levels of recurrence of student employment on perseverance in higher education. We use data from a nationally representative four-year longitudinal survey, descriptive analysis and logistic regression are performed to control for student characteristics. Our results suggest that student employment, especially when intensive and during periods of exams, increases exam failure. When it is recurrent over time, student employment often leads to university dropout. Furth…
