Who are the young people who arrived on the job market in 2017? Almost 80 % have a baccalaureate, almost 50 % graduates from higher education, 12 % have no diploma – or 90,000 young people. The 2017 generation survey, published Thursday, December 1 by the Center for Studies and Research on Qualifications (CEREQ), analyzes the differences in access to employment conditions, three years after the cohort has left the school system or higher education.

The 25,000 young people who responded to this survey are representative of the 746,000 who left for the first time the French education system at all levels of training in 2017. They were interviewed on their school career and their first three years of active life using a monthly calendar, finely retracing their activities during the period.

More graduated than the previous ones, the 2017 generation is also better lotie in terms of professional integration, notes CEREQ: access to indefinite employment becomes more frequent and faster, a trend that applies to all young .

The share of indefinite jobs represents 72 % of the jobs held in October 2020, or 6 more points compared to the 2010 generation, the previous one to have been scrutinized. “This generation is experiencing an unemployment rate in sensitive decrease, compared to that of 2010, which had suffered the full force of the economic crisis of 2008, notes Céline Gasquet, scientific director. On the other hand, inequalities on the labor market remain very marked by the level of diploma and even tend to increase. “

a quarter of young people work during their studies

The influence of social origin on the pursuit of studies is real: 57 % of children from executives leave graduates of long seniority against 8 % of the children of workers. Bac + 5 graduates have four times more often a framework (35 %) than non-graduates (9 %). If 60 % of the generation continued their studies after the bac, 22 % of them failed in higher education.

The work during studies concerned 27 % of the cohort, or more than a quarter of young people, mostly graduates of the university. In half of the cases, it was a regular job of more than eight hours per week, unrelated to studies. There are 44 % to estimate that the experience has disrupted their curriculum, and 78 % that it still made it possible to acquire skills useful for the future.

Yet from the most favored CSPs, and benefiting for 80 % of them from family financial aid, 38 % of business school graduates contracted a bank loan (against 15 % for Bac + graduates 5, and 7 % for the whole).
