Abstract

How do European Arts and Humanities (A&H) graduates contribute to their economies and societies? This paper aims to answer this challenging research question by analysing data from the 2018 pilot Eurograduate survey of graduates. The article explores the monitoring of employment dynamics and considers the labour market outcomes of A&H graduates compared to other graduate groups. Our analysis enables an understanding of the utilisation of A&H graduates’ knowledge and skills in the current employment market (job-qualification match) and more specifically, their contribution to legal, social and cultural occupations. The dataset variables enable an exploration of the multiple contributions made by A&H graduates to other aspects of contemporary society. Specifically, we examine graduates’ volunteering activity during and after their degree, alongside other forms of civic engagement, including political and social action. The findings contribute to the broader debate on the value and impact of A&H degrees beyond measurements of graduate earnings.

值得一提的是：欧洲艺术与人文学科毕业生的就业能力和社会参与度

欧洲艺术与人文学科(A&H)毕业生如何为他们的经济和社会做出贡献?本文旨在通过分析2018年欧洲毕业生试点调查的数据来回答这一具有挑战性的研究问题。本文探讨了就业动态的监测，并考虑了与其他毕业生群体相比，A&H毕业生的劳动力市场结果。通过我们的分析，可以了解A&H毕业生的知识和技能在当前就业市场(工作资格匹配)中的运用情况，更具体地说，是他们对法律、社会和文化职业的贡献。数据集变量可以探索A&H毕业生对当代社会其他方面的多重贡献。具体来说，我们考察了毕业生在获得学位期间和之后的志愿活动，以及其他形式的公民参与，包括政治和社会行动。这一发现引发了一场更广泛的辩论，即A&H学位的价值和影响超出了对毕业生收入的衡量。
