Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo descrever o perfil dos graduados dos mestrados pós-Bolonha da Faculdade de Economia e Gestão – Católica Porto Business School (FEG-CPBS), entre 2008 e 2017, e o percurso profissional dos referidos graduados em ligação com o mestrado realizado. Concretamente, pretende-se perceber tanto a origem como o destino, em termos de mercado de trabalho, dos graduados de cada mestrado, o que poderá vir a informar um possível reajustamento das ofertas de mestrado da Escola. O método utilizado foi um inquérito online aos graduados da FEG-CPBS entre 2008/2017. O inquérito contém cerca de quarenta variáveis que permitem a caracterização do perfil dos graduados e a sua locação no mercado de trabalho. Um mestrado pode ser entendido como investimento em capital humano. Este tem sido estudado por um vasto número de autores. Percebe-se, pelo quadro teórico sobre o capital humano analisado, a relevância da educação no desenvolvimento dos indivíduos, da economia e da sociedade, existindo evidência empírica do papel determinante do ensino superior neste contexto. Os resultados mostram que para a maioria das variáveis analisadas – desde as demográficas às relativas à escolaridade ou à experiência profissional – não existem diferenças significativas entre mestrados. Destacam-se os resultados referentes aos altos níveis de empregabilidade dos graduados e aos salários que, sendo à partida baixos, crescem ao longo do percurso dos referidos graduados no mercado do trabalho. A evidência recolhida parece suportar a ideia de que a educação conduz, eventualmente, a uma maior empregabilidade e a auferir rendimentos mais elevados no mercado do trabalho. Palavras-chave: Ensino superior; Capital humano; Empregabilidade; Salários; Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
The aim of this dissertation is to describe the profile of post-Bologna master’s graduates from the Faculdade de Economia e Gestão - Católica Porto Business School (FEG-CPBS) between 2008 and 2017, and the professional career of those graduates in connection with their master's degree. Specifically, it is intended to understand both the origin and the destination, in terms of the labor market, of the graduates of each master's degree, which may inform a possible readjustment of the Master's offers of the School. The method used was an online survey conducted to FEG-CPBS graduates between 2008 and 2017. The survey contains about forty variables that allow the characterization of the profile of the graduates of each master, including their current position in the labor market. A master's degree can be understood as investment in human capital. Human capital has been studied by a large number of authors. The relevance of education in the growth and development of individuals, economy and society is supported by the theoretical framework on human capital analyzed, and there is empirical evidence of the determining role of higher education in this context. Results show that for most of the analyzed variables - from demographic to those related to schooling or professional experience - there are no significant differences across masters. The results related to the high levels of employability of the graduates and on the wages that, starting from low levels, grow along the way of the mentioned graduates in the labor market can be highlighted. The evidence gathered seems to support the idea that education eventually leads to higher employability and to higher incomes in the labor market. Keywords: College education; Human capital; Employability; Wages; Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
