The debate surrounding the employability of graduates has been a longstanding issue, with growing interest since the beginning of the 21st century. This book takes a novel approach to analyzing the relationship between universities and the labor market, considering sociological and economic theories. It explores key areas such as work transition, graduate employability, and the impact of public interventions aimed at aligning graduate competencies with labor market demands.

The chapters in this book summarize extensive original research conducted by the author, including studies on the employability of graduates in Poland and the effects of public interventions designed to enhance graduate employment and facilitate workforce entry. The analysis is conducted from three perspectives: micro (individual characteristics shaping educational and occupational choices), meso (education system features and the strength of HE diplomas' signal), and macro (macroeconomic situation, labor market conditions, and debates on general and employability competences).

The conclusions drawn from this research are particularly relevant in the context of ongoing debates surrounding graduate mismatch in the labor market, as well as the questioning of tuition fees and the university's role in society. The interdisciplinary nature of this book makes it valuable for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in sociology, economics, public policy, and related fields.
