Abstract

A confronto con i dati relativi al resto delle economie avanzate, la situazione occupazionale dei laureati in Italia si presenta come un?anomalia di segno negativo. Sebbene in crescita, la quota di popolazione laureata ? ancora inferiore rispetto a quella delle altre economie. Malgrado questa loro scarsit? relativa, i laureati italiani, in particolar modo quelli pi? giovani, percepiscono un premio salariale pi? basso e hanno minori possibilit? di occupazione. Sebbene questa situazione sia verosimilmente il risultato dell?interazione di diversi fattori, la spiegazione pi? coerente con la realt? descritta chiama in causa le rigidit? del sistema produttivo, che non sembra in grado di sfruttare le opportunit? rappresentate dalle nuove tecnologie e dall?aumento dell?offerta di lavoro qualificato disponibile ad un costo relativamente basso. A ci? si aggiungono gli ostacoli all?accrescimento ulteriore della quota di laureati, i problemi di mismatch e gli effetti delle istituzioni di mercato del lavoro e della loro evoluzione.
