Abstract

Purpose

The existence of mismatches between training and jobs is relatively common and is accentuated in times of crisis where unemployment is growing. The negative effects that this phenomenon can generate on both workers and the economy makes its study relevant. The objective of this research is to analyse whether graduates of the Catalan university system have jobs according to their educational level.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper sees how graduates’ own and acquired characteristics influence the probability of a mismatch from the analysis of the microdata of different waves of the employment insertion survey conducted by the Agència per a la Qualitat del Sistema Universitari de Catalunya (AQU).

Findings

The main conclusions focus on confirming that more humanities-oriented degrees tend to have a higher level of mismatch while technology or medicine approach a perfect fit. Therefore, bringing the education and business systems together is important to reduce this gap. Meanwhile, in terms of activities, services such as hospitality and retail have historically been sectors with a poor fit, and what has happened with Catalan graduates has not been an exception.

Originality/value

The main contribution of the research has been to highlight where there is a greater mismatch from the point of view of training, the type of work and its evolution over time, detecting the need to adjust labour supply and demand.

教育不匹配的决定因素分析:来自加泰罗尼亚就业安置调查的证据
目的 培训与工作岗位不匹配的现象比较普遍,在失业率不断上升的危机时期,这种现象更加突出。这种现象会对工人和经济产生负面影响,因此对其进行研究具有现实意义。本研究的目的是分析加泰罗尼亚大学系统的毕业生是否根据其教育水平找到了工作。本文通过对加泰罗尼亚大学系统质量机构(AQU)所做的不同波次就业插入调查的微观数据进行分析,探讨了毕业生自身和后天的特点如何影响错配的概率。研究结果主要结论集中在确认更多的人文学科学位往往有更高程度的不匹配,而技术或医学则是完美的匹配。因此,将教育和商业系统结合起来对于缩小这种差距非常重要。原创性/价值这项研究的主要贡献在于,从培训、工作类型及其随时间的演变的角度来看,突出了哪些领域存在较大的不匹配现象,从而发现调整劳动力供求的必要性。
