Abstract
FERNANDEZ, Tabaré; BONAPELCH, Soledad and ANFITTI, Vanessa. First employment transition regims: Chile, Mexico, United States and Uruguay compared. Pap. poblac [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.76, pp.129-161. ISSN 2448-7147.
Among the course life studies, entering the labor market includes the joint of events of transition, which marks the end of a social status of economic inactivity and the start of responsibilities, and a possible access to an economic independence. The purpose of this article is to describe chronologically the calendar in which the first employments produced in Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and The United States, adapting and contrasting macro social and institutionalist hypotheses, simultaneously with the exploration of the effects of gender and social class. Micro data of studies which have been done in these four countries from 2004 to 2007 is used. Briefly we concluded that the transition education-work is structured by the complex network generated by gender differences and institutional matrices which protect the workers and bind the educational processes with the employed market. The analysis carried out has been helpful to show that the general explanations are useful, but not sufficient. Neither does it seem reasonable. Rather it would seem that based on the regularities identified, we could infer different regimes of transition characterized by the different distributions of the population in the trajectories.
