The occupational outcomes of sociology graduates
The article investigates the occupational outcomes of Italian graduates who obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology during the recent recession. Figures show that these graduates have problems finding work, and that the situation has worsened for recent cohorts. Moreover, we observed that many of their jobs were temporary positions, meaning graduates had to keep on looking for new jobs. Our findings confirmed the usual disadvantages for graduates from Southern Italy, while we did not detect significant disadvantages for female graduates.
