Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - The Role of education vis-a-vis job experience in explaining the transitions to employment in the Spanish youth labour market

Notes: It is well known that young cohorts experience higher unemployment rates than their adult counterparts. However, it is less well known that more educated young cohorts may face higher unemployment rates than less educated ones. This seems to be the evidence in some OECD countries such as Spain and Italy. The authors use data on the Spanish labour market and estimate a duration model for young unemployed people. University graduates' lack of job experience may explain this puzzling observationRelated records: En: Spanish Economic Review = Revista española de economía. - Barcelona : Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Departamento de Economía e Historia Económica. - Vol. 8, issue 9, September 2006 ; p. 161-187Materia / lugar / evento: Educación Mercado de trabajo Desempleo Estimación Países de la OCDE Experiencia profesional España Italia Secondary titles: Título: Revista española de economía
