Emilio Di Meglio, Maria Gabriella Grassia, Michelangelo Misuraca · 2006

The aim of this paper is to propose analytical tools for identifying peculiar aspects of the job market for graduates. The main objective is to reduce the complexity of the phenomenon, both on the variable side, by transforming the collected information into latent factors, and on the unit side, by classifying observations. We propose a strategy for dealing with data that have different source and nature. The dependence structure is investigated to identify potential evolutionary paths. Moreover, symbolic objects and their graphical representation are used for identifying the peculiar characteristics required by companies operating in different economic sectors.
