Summary
In this paper, we discuss aspects of a behavioural model of new graduates on the labour market. The model regards the search for, possible refusal, and acceptance of a job by graduates of the University of Padua. Some jobs are considered a makeshift with respect to expectations the graduates matured along with degree achievement. We will analyse data collected by the University of Padua through a long-lasting perspective survey on its own graduates. We compare, in particular, the behaviour of graduates who worked before graduation with that of graduates who did not.
The authors designed and realised jointly the work described in this paper. However, M. Bonamin wrote the Sections 3 and 4 of the paper whereas L. Fabbris wrote the other sections. The authors wish to thank the anonymous referees for their contribution to a first draft of this paper.
