17 November 2019 In Italy, almost six graduates out of 10 (59.8%) are employed three years after the title. A percentage that grew by ten points compared to 2014, but still very far from the European average, which reached 83.5%.It is the picture resulting from the latest Eurostat statistics relating to 2018, just published, according to which the situation of graduates is worse only in Greece.
Situation that is even more difficult in our country for those with only a diploma, with just 48.9% of young people at work three years from the title. Here too, a figure that has increased by 12 points since 2014 but quite a distance of 76.5% on average in Europe.
Among the Italian regions, Calabria is the last with only 29.1% of graduates who find work 3 years after the end of their studies. The Greek region of Sterea Ellada does little better (34.4%). In Lower Bavaria the percentage is 98.3%.
The Italian fork
In Italy, looking at the percentages of employees three years after graduation (considering therefore also the first year after the end of the studies) the range between the various regions with the Veneto is very wide with a percentage of employees three years after the achievement of the title of the 75% while Calabria stops at 29.1% and Sicily at 30.1%, down compared to 2017. The situation is even more difficult for work in the southern regions if you only have a school diploma in your pocket higher.
Within three years of the end of the studies 48.9% of graduates are employed in Italy against 76.5% of the European average. But if in Germany on average within three years he found a job, 90.3% of the graduates in Sicily are just one person out of five (22.2%, down from 25.8% in 2017) while in Calabria they are 28.6%.
The women's gap
For girls then in the South it is a real tragedy, with just 16.8% of young Sicilian women working within three years of graduating from high school compared to 85.3% in the province of Bolzano and 43.6% in media in Italy. In Germany the average is 88.3% with regional peaks above 90%.
For women graduates, the lowest percentage of those who are employed three years after graduation is in Calabria with just 21.6% (down on 2017) while in Sicily they are 29.1%. For European women graduates, the average number of employees three years after graduation is 82.1% while for Italy it is 58.1%, with the province of Bolzano at 82.6%, the Veneto at 76, 2%, Lombardy at 72.9% and Campania at 42%.
