Abstract: | This paper investigates the determinants of the transition from higher education to work across Europe using various specifications
of duration models and a one-time multi-country survey of university graduates from nine European countries. Results point
to differences between the North and South of Europe in the difficulty of getting a first job. They confirm that individual
characteristics such as the field/level of studies or the socioeconomic background, and individual job search bear a significant
relationship to the probability of finding a job. Evidence of unobserved heterogeneity is also found. |
