Abstract

This study examines the relationship between human capital and employment quality among young graduates from the Faculty of Economics of Tangier, Morocco. Using primary survey data collected from 150 graduates three years after their graduation, we analyze how educational level, field of study, and language skills influence employment sector selection and wage levels. The research employs multinomial logistic regression models to assess the probability of entering protected versus unprotected employment sectors and to evaluate determinants of higher wages. Results indicate that graduates with master's degrees have significantly higher probabilities of securing protected sector employment and achieving higher wages compared to bachelor's degree holders. The study provides insights for educational policy and labor market integration strategies.
