Education and chances of getting employed in Senegal

Thesis(Master) --KDI School:Master of Public Policy,2016Among other factors, education is a crucial determinant of employment policies. Issues of education usually result in difficulties to promote social welfare through employment opportunities. In Senegal, the relationship between education and chances of getting employed still lack of relevance. Matching education system to labor market needs remained a challenge for policy makers. Under budget constraint, education choices through type of education and access to education related to employment opportunities lack of effectiveness resulting in a constant increase of youth unemployment for the last decade. In this study, we tried to identify key education variables which affect positively or negatively the chances of being employed for young graduates. We came with the conclusion that in Senegal, among three independent variables which are type of education, level of education and location of institutions, only level of education through Higher education turned out to be statistically significant and affect positively the chances of getting employed after graduation meaning that the effect of education in employment opportunity is low in Senegal.Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION Chapter 2: LITERATURE REVIEW Chapter 3: METHODOLOGY AND DATA OVERVIEW CHAPTER 4: ANALYSIS OF RESULTS AND DISCUSSION CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONSmasterpublishedJacob DASYLVA
