The analysis of the contribution of PhD title for job placement and employment condition of PhDs is an important tool for evaluating the quality and the effectiveness of PhD courses. For this reason, monitoring PhDs careers becomes fundamental for explaining the mismatch between three level education and labour market. The aim of this paper is to assess the external effectiveness of PhD courses using a Structural Equation Model. The analysis is performed with data from a survey on "Current situation and employment prospects of PhDs”. The proposed measure of "external effectiveness" is a latent variable obtained by evaluating the level of satisfaction with the employment status of PhDs who achieved the title in 2008.

Abstract
The analysis of the contribution of PhD title for job placement and employment condition of PhDs is an important tool for evaluating the quality and the effectiveness of PhD courses. For this reason, monitoring PhDs careers becomes fundamental for explaining the mismatch between three level education and labour market. The aim of this paper is to assess the external effectiveness of PhD courses using a Structural Equation Model. The analysis is performed with data from a survey on "Current situation and employment prospects of PhDs”. The proposed measure of "external effectiveness" is a latent variable obtained by evaluating the level of satisfaction with the employment status of PhDs who achieved the title in 2008.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
