Spanish Graduates Employability

Context

This data set contains information about 2013/2014 university graduates in Spain including their employment situation in 2019 as provided by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) in the EILU (Encuesta de Inserción Laboral de los titulados Universitarios) survey.

Content

There are two different .csv files. EILU_GRAD_2019.csv contains data of approximately 32.000 BSc and BA graduates (2013/2014), whereas EILU_MAST_2019.csv contains data of approximately 12.000 MSc and MA graduates (2013/2014).

Both datasets provide various personal and demographic features such as gender, age, nationality, major, field, parents' level of education, type of university, etc...
They also provide information about regulated and supplementary training, mobility, current employment status, and work history.

Most of the data is categorical. The codes for the different categories can be found in the data dictionaries, dr_EILU_GRAD_2019.xlsx, and dr_EILU_MAST_2019.xlsx. Unfortunately, they are only available in Spanish.

Inspiration

This dataset can provide plenty of questions.
Some questions of particular interest can be:

• Which factors are the main drivers of employability
• Measuring the mismatch between field of study and occupation
• How long does it take to land their first job to different kinds of graduates
• How does going to a private university impacts employment prospects?
