Abstract

Theories regarding youth participation on the labor market help us draw a detailed picture of the elements composing and influencing the labor market. Starting with individual factors and ending with policy level drivers, the labor market is analyzed both macro-economically as well as from the perspective of micro-economy. According to studies in the field there are different views regarding insertion on the labor market. It can be analyzed from the perspective of individual contribution to economic activity or occupation, that of age groups, of areas or economic sectors, of residential areas and gender, the view on occupations, production, incomes and many others. Often these criteria on which the labor market is structured are combined. The process of youth integration on the labor market is intensely studied in the scientific literature often under the influence of the International Labor Organization using the concept of “school-to-work transition”. Our study is dedicated to the analysis of this transition of the graduates of the Faculty of Economic Sciences from University of Oradea. The professional path of young graduates of higher education remains a topic of interest both for scientific reasons as well as practical in order to improve employment policies. The main objective of this paper is to describe the integration on the labor market of economic graduates focusing on the before mentioned Faculty, creating profiles of this integration and finding correlates of a successful integration. This objective could be achieved through the analysis of data collected within a tracer study conducted with the graduates of our faculty in 2015. We have 247 valid answers to the questionnaire, and we base the analysis on these responses. The sample is far from being representative: students were self-selected from the students who wanted to answer to the questionnaire. Our conclusion is that graduates that find a job, even more whether that job is in the field, are students that worked during their studies, have parents with higher education and declare satisfaction with their studies.
