Abstract

In this paper we analyze the role that work experience during school has in the school-to-work transition. We exploit an ad-hoc module from European labour force survey to have detailed information about young workers in 2016 and estimate the determinants of the job finding process. Since the estimation may suffer from a selection into sample problem, we use the Heckman correction model to solve this issue. Results show that work experience during school successfully increases the probability to find a job and a policy facilitating work programs within school tracks could be effective. However, we also find that the efficacy of this work experience is larger in labour markets whose performance is lacking (in the Centre and South of Italy) whereas it tends to be smaller and not significant in markets that are better off (the north of Italy).
