“…This supposes that persons with high levels of education have more chances to nd good jobs. Following these hypothesis, Vincens (1998) argued that labour market insertion begins at school and it is strongly in uenced by the educational or training choice. From this perspective, young people with low levels of education often faced di culties to enter labour markets because their productive capacities are judged insu cient due to the weakness of their general education and their lack of experience.…”

If employment is recognized as a key driver for growth, development and well-being improvement, human capital is probably a main determinant of the labour force participation. By often analyzing this relationship in wage earning jobs, studies used to leave self-employment untreated despite the fact that its proportion is growing significantly in several countries. This leads us to the following question: does human capital accumulated determine access to all forms of employment? Focusing on young people, this article analyzes effects of educational level used as a proxy of the human capital accumulated on the choice of the working labour force status in Cameroon. Using discrete-choice models on data draw from the second Employment and Informal Sector Survey carried out by the National Institute of Statistics, empirical findings reveal that educated young people are more disposed to make a decision to work as wage earned and the corresponding probability rises with the increasing of their educational levels. However, their willingness to become self-employed decline with the rising of their educational levels. Therefore, compared to the decision to work as a wage earned, becoming a self-employed does not appear as a human capital outcome. This paradoxical result for a low wage economy suggests a reform of the educational or training system starting at least in high school level with emphasizes in sectors with a high potential of self-employment and a setting-up of an apprenticeship plan.

“…ΚοινωνιΚη Συνοχη Και αναπτυξη Η λογική βάση της μακρο-προσέγγισης της επαγγελματικής ένταξης είναι η ιδέα ότι η μοναδικότητα της διαδρομής μιας κοορτής τοποθετείται στο ξεκίνημα, δηλαδή στη φάση ένταξης, ενώ στη μακρά διάρκεια οι διαφορές μεταξύ κοορτών περιορίζονται αισθητά ή και εξαφανίζονται. Το τέλος της ένταξης μιας κοορτής νέων ισοδυναμεί με την ενσωμάτωσή της στις κοορτές των "ενηλίκων", των οποίων στη συνέχεια μοιράζεται την τύχη (Vincens, 1998).…”

<p>The paper empirically investigates the transition of youth from education to work in Greece by using a macroeconomic and dynamic approach. It examines in particular the labour market integration of young graduates of the year 1999<br />by educational attainment level and gender, as well as the difficulties they had in stabilizing in employment during 2000-2005. The paper also discusses the impact of the economic context at the moment of graduation and during the first years after labour market entry by comparing employment performance of the 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002 cohorts, one, three and five years after graduation. The methodology used for the empirical analysis consists of the creation of pseudopanels and the estimation of a number of indicators of labour market integration for consecutive years.</p>
