MIRANDA, Ana  e  OTERO, Analia. Diversity and Inequality in the Trajectories of Secondary School Graduates. RMIE [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.25, pp.393-417. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this paper is to contribute knowledge on the complex relationship between education and work, based on an analysis of the trajectories of recent secondary school graduates. The presented information was obtained by following up on the young people and working with various methodologies. As a function of quantitative surveys, the graduates’ employment and educational situation were addressed, as well as their family environment in the years following their graduation. Subsequently, qualitative techniques were used to analyze the graduates’ discourse with regard to their transformations in employment and family groups.
