Study and work in Argentina. An analysis of the employment status of young student higher education in 2008-2017
Abstract
This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the socio-occupational reality of young people who access higher education in Argentina. In order to do is, we will analyze the heterogeneity of their employment situations based on a diachronic (2008 and 2017) and quantitative analysis (statistical processing of microdata bases, EPH-INDEC). They will be addressed from the analysis of the labour force participation, and the "quality" of occupations.
Although the majority of higher-level students are inactive, around a third manage to work and study simultaneously, and the majority do so under an unregistered employment, with marked differences to gender and socioeconomic status. In the 2008-2017 period, we observed the generation of increasingly different job scenarios among young students from different social classes.
