Discrimination in access to employment for graduates with disabilities: Proposals for improvement
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-06-26) Arrazola, María; de Hevia, José; Perrote, Irene; Sánchez-Larrión, Raúl
Although the number of graduates with disabilities is increasing worldwide, few studies have examined their transition to employment. This study analysed the difficulties they find in their labour insertion compared with their peers without disabilities and offers proposals to improve their employability. We used a representative sample of Spanish graduates, with and without disabilities. Our results showed that the main problem for graduates with disabilities is their access to the labour market. There is, however, no evidence of differences in the quality of employment between graduates with and without disabilities. We found that the difficulties in accessing employment among graduates with disabilities are related to discriminatory institutional factors in the labour market. Therefore, it is important to implement policies focused on the removal of institutional barriers that may prevent employers from hiring graduates with disabilities. Our results provide empirical evidence for policies that can improve their employability.
Who gets a better job? Comparing the employability of public and private university graduates in Spain
(Palgrave MacMillan, 2023-08-18) Arrazola, María; de Hevia, José; Perrote, Irene; Sánchez-Larrión, Raúl
The aim of this study is to analyse the differences in employability among Spanish graduates from public or private universities. Private and public universities do not usually have the same profile. In a scenario in which private universities are becoming increasingly important, with mainly high-income students, a greater employability of their graduates could change the higher education system and reduce the role of tertiary education in social mobility. To assess whether the outcomes of the two university models are different, we use Probit models and Inverse Probability Weighting Regression Adjustment (IPWRA) to analyse the probability of being employed, suffering job mismatch, or having higher wages with micro-data from a representative sample of Spanish graduates. We do not find large differences in employability between graduates of public and private universities. The small differences we see concern, generally, degrees in Social Sciences and are related to job quality. There is also evidence that the socioeconomic background of the graduate has different effects on students from public and private universities. Graduates from private universities of more disadvantaged backgrounds have a certain advantage in terms of their employability.
