The mobility and the job success of the Sicilian graduates

The paper focuses on the job success of Sicilians Graduates comparing people who remain in Sicily for work reasons (Stayers) and who moves from Sicily to another Italian region or abroad (Movers) during 2016. Data referred to the Almalaurea Consortium annual survey collecting data of first and second level graduates interviewed at one, three or five years from graduation. We model the probability to be a successful graduate by means of a logistic regression model considering job and curriculum characteristics. The results show that many factors influence the job success, with some differences between graduates interviwed 1 or 5 years after graduation, but it is clear that to be a Mover increases significantly the probability to be successful graduate
