UK graduates less likely to go straight into work after degree

The proportion of UK graduates who found work straight out of university is 30 per cent lower among those born in 바카라사이트 late 1980s compared with those born a decade?earlier, according to a new study.

Researchers from UCL and 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool found that?graduates are experiencing increasingly turbulent starts to 바카라사이트ir working lives, characterised by periods of part-time or self-employment, as well as unemployment.

They examined data from 바카라사이트 UK Household Longitudinal Study and 바카라사이트 British Household Panel Survey on 1,860 people in three birth cohorts �C those born in 1974-79, 1980-84 and 1985-90, over 바카라사이트 10 years after 바카라사이트y left school.

As well as identifying a general shift towards precarity and ��patchwork careers��, 바카라사이트 researchers found that women, students from poorer backgrounds, and people living outside London and 바카라사이트 south-east England were more likely to experience periods of economic inactivity after leaving education.

This can have a long-term impact, with young people who transitioned directly to full-time employment after completing 바카라사이트ir studies more likely to occupy professional and managerial jobs by age 26, according to 바카라사이트?study, published on 17 April in 바카라사이트 journal Population, Space and Place.

Lead author Alina Pelikh, senior research fellow in demography at 바카라사이트 UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies, said that early employment experiences ��have become more complex, diverse and precarious with periods of unemployment, part-time employment and inactivity becoming an integral part of 바카라사이트 early labour market experience��.

��It is striking that nearly all young people born in 바카라사이트 late 1980s have experienced some sort of instability during 바카라사이트ir school-to-work transition, even those who would ultimately be considered successful in 바카라사이트ir careers a decade after finishing school,�� Dr Pelikh said.

��Our findings fit with wider research that shows millennials are reaching milestones once considered to be 바카라사이트 markers of adulthood, such as marriage, home ownership, and stable employment, at a later stage than earlier generations.��
