The 16th AlmaLaurea survey on graduates’ employment condition, involved this year nearly 450,000 graduates of the 64 Universities belonging to the AlmaLaurea Consortium. The survey collects information on the employment condition of students graduated in 2012, 2010, 2008 interviewed 1, 3 and 5 years after graduation.
The high response rates (86% at one year, 80% at three years and 75% at five years), guarantee the statistical reliability of the survey. The latter is an essential tool for assessing the external effectiveness of the Italian university system and for guiding students and graduates in taking educational and career choices.
Which is the alchemy required to allow our country to start growing again giving new hope to young people? The economic crisis has highlighted both the structural problems underlying the low growth rates recorded in Italy during the last 15 years and the clear difficulties encountered in restarting the economy after a most acute phase of recession. This has resulted in the failure to implement innovation and internationalization strategies, which would have allowed our country to enjoy the benefits of globalization and the single currency. The other side of the coin is that throughout these years our country has experienced brain drain phenomena, which have deprived it of its human capital assets and prevented it from growing.
The main topic to be addressed at the 16th AlmaLaurea Conference on the Graduates’ Employment Condition is that in order for our country to start on new grounds it is necessary to implement economic policies and institutional reforms targeted towards enhancing the value of the nation’s human resources and rapidly requalify its managing class. Over and above the conventional innovation support tools, other useful tools to achieve this goal are: promotion of the graduates’ entrepreneurship and of academic entrepreneurship as well as all those measures aimed at promoting reverse brain drain and brain circulation. Indeed, the loss of human capital is reversible and brain drain could at least turn into brain circulation by means of appropriate attraction policies including research promotion activities and measures to support new forms of entrepreneurship.
The issue of enhancing the value of human resources must extends beyond the national borders and is central to the debate on the economic scenarios of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
