This study focuses on the
question of how well young university graduates succeed - despite
their family obligations - in exploiting the potential they
have gained through their education in the labor market. The
findings are based on a survey of university graduates throughout
Switzerland and present a positive picture. Natural science
and engineering graduates are the only ones for whom active
parenthood makes the transition to working life more difficult.
Otherwise, starting a family and involvement in childcare generally
do not present an obstacle to neither working life nor in finding
positions with high level qualifications. However, it is relatively
rare for recent graduates with children to accept trainee positions,
a fact that could have a negative impact on their careers over
the long term. |
