Gènere i inserció laboral. Dones i homes deu anys després de graduar-se, iguals o diferents.pdf (4 MB)
AQU Catalunya, with the support of the Institut Català de les Dones (the Catalan institute that designs, promotes and coordinates policy concerning women in society), has produced the study Gènere i inserció laboral. Dones i homes deu anys després de graduar-se, iguals o diferents? (Gender and graduate labour market outcomes), based on the analysis of the data obtained in the survey on graduate labour market outcomes carried out in 2011 by AQU of the 2001 graduate cohort, which reflects the job situation of the students in this graduating year ten years after graduation.
As in the 2008 survey (on the graduate population three years after completing their studies), the degree, rather than gender, is the key element in the process of transition to the labour market and job quality. This means that there were no significant differences in job quality between males and females who had taken the same degree, and the variable that best explains the quality of entry into the job market is the degree taken.
In some of the indicators analysed, however, a trend can be seen that is systematically favourable to males, such as the percentage of the graduate population in positions of responsibility over others, and the percentage of the graduate population that had received promotion.
A new development detected in this survey is a certain level of gender-based segregation in the labour market between males and females with the same degree. There was a higher percentage of females in areas of economic activity that reconcile professional, private and family life, for example, education.
