ZUCCARELLI, Carolina. GRADUATES WORKERS AND TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE WORKFORCE. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.57, e10782. Epub 05-Feb-2024. ISSN 1983-9278. https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n57.10782.
The increase in years of study plays an important role in formulations about opportunities in the labor market and also about the chances of social mobility. This paper aims to discuss to what extent an increasing number of graduate workers corresponds to a greater allocation of the workforce in jobs that require higher education. The analysis of this relationship is particularly significant in the current scenario when substantial expansion of tertiary education and profound structural changes in the labor market are taking place. The text examines the changes in the educational profile of the workforce over the last forty years, taking into account the relationship between years of study and labor market opportunities and / or inequalities. Based on data produced by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the article shows that, despite the growing number of workers with higher education, most of this group is not employed in a job that is compatible with their qualification, indicating an increase in the graduation rate for posts that do not require this level of education. The results also show that access to higher education and the Brazilian labor market remain marked by significant gender and color / race inequalities.
