¿Y después de la universidad qué? Análisis de las transiciones del sistema educativo al empleo en España

This article analyses the transitions from the university to the labour market in Spain. Using a sample of 23,885 university graduates in 2009, we assess the probabilities of obtain a job in 2014. The results show that, even though a greater educational investment ensures better job opportunities for graduates, the probabilities of ending up over-educated are high, especially for women. In addition, we found that graduates from health care and engineering field of studies are more likely to obtain a job and a quality job than those from scientific, social sciences and humanities careers. Finally, it is found that men from masculinized field of studies are more likely to obtain a job and are less likely to be over-educated than women with same characteristics.
