Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted the career and employment situation of Bachelors and Masters who graduated from Finnish universities in 2000. The survey was conducted five years after the respondents' graduation, and it charted the stability of the first years of their careers, and whether their job was commensurate with their qualifications.

The respondents' work history was charted by asking them whether they had earned other degrees or participated in in-service or specialised training related to their job or occupation after the degree earned in 2000. The time spent in paid employment after graduation was queried, including both work in general and work commensurate with their qualifications. The number of employers and separate employments and offices was charted, as well as whether the respondents had been entrepreneurs, self-employed or freelancers and how long, and whether they had been outside the labour market because of family leave. Possible periods of unemployment were also canvassed. The respondents were presented with potential obstacles to getting a job (e.g. lack of experience, weak labour market situation in the field, gender) and asked to assess how much each of them had hindered their employment.

The respondents' current employment situation, type of main employer, and type of work were charted. They were also asked where they had received information about their current job. The respondents' monthly gross income was queried, as well as how well it corresponded with the contents and level of responsibility of their job and with their academic education. They were also presented with a set of attitudinal statements on whether they liked their job. The respondents who were in temporary employment were asked to tell the most important reason for the temporary nature of the contract, the duration of the contract, and whether the contract was preceded by another temporary contract with the same employer. Correspondence between work and education was studied by asking the respondents whether an academic degree had been a prerequisite for their current job, and hether their current job responsibilities corresponded with their academic education and field of study. If they did not fully correspond, the respondents were asked to name the most important reason for accepting the job. The importance of university education was probed by charting the respondents' satisfaction with their academic degree from the point of view of career. Finally, the importance of various skills (e.g. information retrieval skills, managing skills, Finnish communication skills) in the respondents' current job was surveyed, as well as how well their university studies had developed these skills.

Background variables included the respondent's university, gender, age at the time of graduation, and information on the degree (degree title, length in credits).

Otantamenetelmä

Total universe/Complete enumeration

The survey was sent to all graduates with a lower (B.A.) or higher (M.A.) degree from the universities of Helsinki, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Lappi, Oulu, Tampere, Turku, and Åbo Akademi in 2000. The survey was part of a joint career follow-up study of nine multidisciplinary universities. The purpose of the study was to chart the career and employment situation of graduates five years after their graduation. There were altogether 9,165 earned degrees matching the target group of the career follow-up, but all of the graduates did not receive the survey questionnaire because of foreign address, non-disclosure of address, or other similar reason. The alternative to complete the survey over the Internet was mentioned in the cover letter accompanying the survey. In that case, the identification of the respondent would be carried out by means of a code number included in the letter. Altogether 8,110 respondents received the survey, which is about 88% of all graduates in the target group. 56% of those who received the survey responded to it, which in turn is about 51% of all graduates in the target group. Women were overrepresented in the data; they constituted 68% of all graduates, but 73% of the survey respondents.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Questions 28-31 varied by university; the attached questionnaires are from the University of Tampere and Åbo Akademi University.

Swedish degree titles are translated into Finnish in the archived material.

There were instructions to select only one response category in questions 15, 16 and 27; however, the returned questionnaires included several responses to the questions. Therefore, a dichotomous variable was constructed for each of them. Additional university-specific questions in the questionnaires of several universities were not included in the data. The respondents were asked to respond to questions of the type "How long" in years and months, but in the archived data the results are given as years with two decimals. Each respondent was given a personal ID number, which was used in collecting background information. These ID numbers were originally part of the data, but have been removed during archiving. To prevent identification, all open-ended variables, employer names, municipality information and some education information (degree programme and major subject) were removed from the data. In addition, the age variable was categorised into six categories and the largest incomes in the income variable were top-coded.
