Abstract:
This thesis analyses the differences between the jobs that men and women execute on average during the first stages of their labor market career, based on a database of different alumni from the URV. In the beginning, we contextualize the gender differences that we can find between men and women on average, explaining situations and concepts like the school-to-work transition and risk-aversion. After that, the paper examines through an econometric study three different situations or problems that, according to previous studies, affect men and women differently.
