Resumo: | Job quality has been a subject of growing interest by the international institutions and academics in the last two decades. Economic crisis and increasing supply of graduates renewed the debate about the benefits of investments in higher education and the working conditions of young highly skilled people. This dissertation draws on European Union Labour Force Survey data from the year 2014 and examines the job quality of the PhDs holders in Portugal. It should be noted that literature on PhD graduates jobs is scarce, so this research attempts to fill this gap in the literature. The jobs were examined through a fuzzy clustering analysis, which enabled us to identify typologies of PhDs jobs. The empirical results pointed to three fuzzy clusters and show that one type of job comprises foreign young women with precarious and part-time jobs, who are overqualified and unsatisfied since are looking for another job. Another cluster aggregates senior PhD holders with high-wages, stability and good work-life balance. Finally, the third typology differs from the latter since PhD graduates seem to find it difficult to balance personal life and professional responsibilities. The findings corroborate previous research in that young people are facing increasing difficulties in the labour market; this affects also highly skilled young people. |

A crise económica e o aumento da oferta de graduados reavivaram o debate sobre os benefícios do investimento no ensino superior e as condições de trabalho dos jovens altamente qualificados. Esta dissertação baseia-se nos dados do "European Union Labour Force Survey" a partir do ano de 2014 e examina a qualidade de emprego dos doutorados em Portugal. Deve notar-se que a literatura sobre os empregos dos doutorados é escassa, procurando esta pesquisa preencher essa lacuna na literatura. Os empregos foram examinados por meio de uma análise de "cluster", que nos permitiu identificar tipologias de emprego dos doutorados. Os resultados empíricos apontaram para a existência de três "clusters" e mostram que um tipo de emprego abrange mulheres jovens estrangeiras com empregos precários e de "part-time", com excesso de qualificações e insatisfeitas uma vez que procuram outro emprego. Outro grupo agrega doutorados mais velhos com salários altos, estabilidade e bom equilíbrio entre vida profissional e pessoal. Finalmente, a terceira tipologia difere da última, pois os doutorados parecem ter dificuldade em encontrar equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e as responsabilidades profissionais. Os resultados corroboram pesquisas anteriores, em que os jovens enfrentam crescentes dificuldades no mercado de trabalho; isso afeta também os jovens altamente qualificados.2021-11-26T00:00:00Z2019-11-26T00:00:00Z2019-11-262019-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19223TID:202329763engCordeiro, Pedro Alexandre de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:32:05Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19223Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:14:27.228468Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Job quality has been a subject of growing interest by the international institutions and academics in the last two decades.

This dissertation draws on European Union Labour Force Survey data from the year 2014 and examines the job quality of the PhDs holders in Portugal. It should be noted that literature on PhD graduates jobs is scarce, so this research attempts to fill this gap in the literature.
