MENDEZ, Luciana; PELLEGRINO, Adela; ROBAINA, Sofía  e  VIGORITO, Andrea. Academic and Employment Trajectories of Individuals with Doctoral Degrees in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Evidence for Uruguay. RMIE [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.91, pp.1087-1121.  Epub 13-Dez-2021. ISSN 1405-6666.

This article analyzes the academic and employment trajectories of Uruguayans with doctoral degrees in the social sciences and humanities, based on information from the First Census of Doctoral Degrees in Uruguay, carried out in 2017. The Uruguayan case combines the delayed development of graduate study with high rates of emigration. The project explores contextual, institutional, and occupational aspects. The results indicate that 90% of the respondents in the areas of interest earned their degree abroad, and that 70% reside in Uruguay. The proportion of females has increased significantly in recent generations. Unemployment is low and most work in academic institutions. In some disciplines, professional performance is more extensive, while the humanities face serious difficulties in the availability of fulltime work in research institutions. The differences are reflected in reported job satisfaction.

Palavras-chave : social sciences; humanities; doctoral degrees; employment; academic trajectory, Uruguay.
