Transições no feminino: a transição escola-trabalho em um contexto de expansão educacional e entrada de mulheres no mercado.

Abstract

Education can be thought of as a way to qualify individuals to take on specific positions in the job market. However, men and women with the same educational background transition to occupations in different ways. We demonstrate in this research that women have links with more specific labor markets than men. We also found, through logistic regressions models, that the greater the connection, the greater the probability of female participation in the labor market, which indicates the importance of accurately informing the specific occupational destinations that women can be allocated when choosing a career, for example. In addition, using both panel models and M-index decompositions, we demonstrate that the level-fields that expanded the most were those that had more specific connections, however, due to an opposite movement of loss of specificity of these level-fields during its growth, the final effect of educational expansion was neutralized, which caused the specificity of the link between area-levels and occupations to decrease over the period from 1980 to 2010 in Brazil
