“…This finding is in accordance with previous works such as Alba-Ramirez [5], Sloane et al [22], Groot and Maassen van der Brink [25,26], and Lassibille et al [11]. This phenomenon could be explained if we consider that women could face some discrimination in the labour market [27], so it could contribute to increase the difficulties of finding a suitable job, in the first employment in Spain.…”

“…The objective measures quantify the level of mismatching by comparing the level of education attained by each worker with an independent scale of requirements for each occupation [11,13,14]. The subjective measures determine the level of mismatching by comparing the level of education attained by each worker with the worker's opinion regarding the qualification required to perform the job properly [5][6][7].…”

This paper analyses the labour market entry of Spanish school leavers and the match between education and work at the early stages of working life, using a specific data set drawn from the Spanish Module Education to Labour Market Transitions (2000). Special attention is paid to university graduates, because Spain experienced a strong growth in the demand for higher education during the last decades of the 20th century. The empirical evidence shows that although over-education is a common phenomenon in the Spanish youth labour market, being a graduate seems to be associated with a lower likelihood of over-education in the first job. Our results indicate that over-education affects more women than men and foreigners than Spaniards.

“…The studies on the correlation between competence and job market performance indicate that not only the academic grades or performance in the educational and training programs which can be expressed in numbers or records, but also the competence, which can be improved through education, influence employment [32,41,42]. Heijke & Ramaekers [43] stated that the development of knowledge and competence through education is an investment in human capital to enhance individual productivity and to generate profits in the labor market.…”

Abstract:As education for sustainable development receives continuing attention, universities provide regular courses, education programs, and individual activities on human rights, diversity, and corporate responsibilities. This study conducts an empirical analysis of a virtuous circle between experience in extracurricular programs as part of humanity education and performance in the labor market based on Education-Career matched data of 15,180 students who graduated from one of the Confucian-based universities between 2008 and 2015. The analysis found that employment is positively affected by not only grades but also extracurricular activities related to humanities, such as completion of an education and practice course on etiquette and social service activities. These findings are significant in verifying that the level of refinement of university students and their participation in social volunteering can have positive effects on employment, thereby leading to the sustainability of a virtuous circle between education and social and economic activities. Therefore, universities should formulate an educational system that integrates expertise, human growth, equality, and human rights, and firms should establish a specific employment manual to identify the invisible characteristics of job seekers to facilitate the sustainability of a virtuous circle between education and social and economic activities.

“…However, the study by Figlio and Stone (1997) reports that the type of school only affects certain groups of students. Thus, a new point is introduced into the debate on the advantages and disadvantages of state education versus private education (Ballou, 2001;Falck & Woessmann, 2013;James, 1987;James, 1993;Jimenez & Sawada, 2001;Landeras-Cicero & Pérez de Villarreal, 2000;Lassibille, 1998;Lassibille, Navarro-Gómez, Aguilar-Ramos, & de la O Sánchez, 2001; Van der Gaag, 1995).…”

This work studied the entrepreneurial aspirations of 3,987 adolescents regarding self-employment and the influence of gender, age, nationality, type of school, location of the school, educational level and performance. The Logit model is used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the pupils' aspirations to be self-employed increase in the case of foreigners, of studying in a state school, of having a lower educational level and of demonstrating a low academic performance. The results were not statistically significant for the gender and age variables. The curriculum and guidance programmes need to promote a spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity in young people
