Based on data collected from a sample of Romanian students in 2021, we investiga…

School-to-work transition of higher education graduates in four European countries
While there is a rich literature on the school-to-work transition in developed countries, an equally robust literature is lacking for post-communist countries. We analyse the patterns of labour market entry of higher education graduates in several formerly communist countries by drawing on the HEGESCO data set, which provides information on the school-to-work transition of higher education graduates leaving education in 2002/2003 in four countrie…
