Resumen

Este artículo estudia el primer tránsito laboral de los jóvenes hacia empleos significativos en España. Demuestra que el nivel educativo y el sector de educación condicionan el acceso a un primer empleo significativo, de manera más clara para las mujeres que para los varones. Esto ocurre a pesar de que las mujeres tienden a elegir los sectores educativos con menor proyección en el mercado de trabajo. Estos resultados se ven confirmados a través de un modelo probit multinomial sobre la probabilidad de lograr un empleo tanto significativo como no significativo y un modelo de duración en tiempo discreto sobre la probabilidad de encontrar un empleo significativo.
