摘要:In the latest years, transitions from higher education into professional environment have been taking a growing social visibility, and difficulties in employment access by higher education graduates are highlighted. In this paper, the nature of such difficulty felt by graduates in the course of their professional pathways will be developed, as well as the reasons that give rise to the growing visibility of this thematic. For so doing, after a brief socio-historical analysis of the emergence of this research field, centred on the relationships between education system and work/employment, a set of fundamental theoretical perspectives in this research domain are both identified and characterised. In a second moment, some contributions are gathered from two investigations we have carried out on higher education graduates, taking into account the results of two questionnaires that enable us to characterise the academic and professional paths of graduates, masters and doctors.
