“…En utilisant des données du National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, nous évaluons les chances de succès dans toutes les filières d'études pour tous les individus de l'échantillon. D'autre part, les revenus individuels estimés des diplômés dans toutes les filières sont obtenus en utilisant les coefficients des régressions de Rumberger et Thomas (1993) Rumberger and Thomas's (1993) …”

“…From the parameter estimates of equation (7), we then predict the probability of success in each major for all individuals in the sample. Second, we obtain the individuals' predicted earnings in all majors using Rumberger and Thomas's (1993) independently and identically distributed with the Type 1 extreme-value distribution (or Gumbell), equation (6) is estimated.…”

“…Studies showed that field of study and genders are relevant issues that affect graduates' learning outcomes and future life (e.g. Allen & Van Der Velden, 2007;Dolton & Makepeace, 1990;Ng, Eby, Sorensen, & Feldman, 2005;Rumberger & Thomas, 1993). Table 4 depicts the fit statistics of the model controlled by gender and field of study.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the model of the effects of learning environment on graduates' competencies. The analysis was based on the responses to a questionnaire of 2,988 graduates from Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia. The model was analyzed using structural equation modelling. The tested model indicated a good fit model with χ 2 (199, N = 2988) = 1773.17, p = .000, RMSEA = .051, CFI = .98. The results suggest a significant positive influence of learning environment on graduates' competencies.

“…Parts of the wage differentials have been explained by the fact that males and females choose different fields of study, where females choose education that qualifies for jobs with lower wages than do men (Rumberger and Thomas 1993). In most countries male dominated fields of study have generally higher wages than female dominated (Polachek 1978, Rumberger andThomas 1993).…”

Re e iiThe REFLEX project is a joint collaborative project of the following institutes The REFLEX project is funded by the EU 6th Framework Program (Contract No: CIT2-CT-2004-506-352) and several national funds. The project involves partners from sixteen countries (Austria, Belgium/Flanders, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK) and is coordinated by the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market from Maastricht University. For more information, see: http://www.reflexproject.org.iii AcknowledgementsThe REFLEX project (acronym for 'Research into Employment and professional FLEXibility') is a large scale international project that has been carried in 16 different countries. It focuses on the demands that the modern knowledge society places on higher education graduates, and the degree to which higher education equips graduates with the competencies to meet these demands.In the project three studies were carried out: (1) a country study highlighting the main structural and institutional factors that shape the relation between higher education and work in the different countries involved in the study; (2) a qualitative study on graduate competences in the knowledge society; (3) a survey of higher education graduates in these countries (for more information, see www.reflexproject.org). The results of the first two studies have been published separately (Koucky, Meng and Van der Velden, 2007;Arthur, Brennan and De Weert, 2007) 1 . The current report presents the general findings of the third study, the survey among graduates.A project like this cannot be carried out without the effort and involvement of many colleagues. In the different countries the following persons participated in the project (the coordinator is always mentioned first, the rest in alphabetical order): Austria (Paul Kellermann, Helmut Guggenberger and Gunhild Sagmeister), Belgium/Flanders (Walter van Trier, Kathleen de Rick), Czech Republic (Jan Koucky, Petr Vorisek), Estonia (Tiina Annus, Liis Kraut), Finland (Osmo Kivinen, Jouni Nurmi), France (Jean-Jacques Paul, Lisa Bydanova, Julien Calmand, Philippe Maalouf ), Germany (Ulrich Teichler, Oliver Bracht, Marek Fuchs, Harald Schomburg), Italy (Roberto Moscati, Angelo Di Francia, Michela Frontini, Michele Rostan, Matteo Sgarzi, Marco Vinante), Japan (Keiichi Yoshimoto, Yuki Inenaga, Naoyuki Ogata), the Netherlands (Jim Allen, Han van Dongen, Timo Huijgen, Paul van der Kolk, Hans Rutjes, Egbert de Weert), Norway (Liv Anne Storen, Clara Arnesen), Portugal (Virgilio Meira Soares, Armando Rocha Trindade), Spain (Jose Gines Mora, Lourdes Badillo Amador, Amparo Gómez López, Daniel Martinez Aceves, Jose María Nyssen González, Luis Vila), Sweden (Kenny Petersson, Daniel Samuelsson), Switzerland (Sabina Schmidlin, Katrin Schönfisch, Andrea Witmer), United Kingdom (John Brennan, Lore Arthur, Rod Hick, Brenda Little, Alan Woodley).
