Sociólogos não têm falta de emprego em Moçambique! um estudo sobre a inserção profissional de graduados em sociologia

Abstract

This work aims at understanding the occupational situation of the graduates in sociology, as well as the way they analyze their professional insertion in the labour market. We have assumed as hypothesis that i) the graduates in sociology are occupying professional positions not related to their studies in sociology; and ii) the graduates in sociology tend to analyse their professional insertion in the labour market, as being inadequate to their professional qualifications. We interviewed a total of 21 graduates who have completed their graduate in sociology at Eduardo Mondlane University between 2005 and 2008. Almost all of the interviewees are employed on full time basis, fundamentally in higher education institutions, in Public Administration, in national and international Non Governmental Organizations, in research centres and in foundations. Most of them tend to analyze their professional insertion as being adequate to their professional qualifications. Key words: Professional Insertion; Graduates in Sociology; Labour Market.
