En Tunisie, la massification et la démocratisation de l’enseignement supérieur ont explosé le nombre de diplômés qui éprouvent des difficultés d’insertion professionnelle depuis le début des années 1980, cette conjoncture a été l’un des principaux déclencheurs de la révolution du 14 janvier 2011.Comme dans plusieurs des pays, l’origine du chômage des diplômés tunisiens réside essentiellement dans le déphasage entre les formations (investissement en capital humain) et les besoins des entreprises (l’investissement en matière d’emploi).Ce phénomène ne manque pas d’avoir des conséquences sociodémographiques importantes. En effet, les individus en difficulté d’insertion sont souvent victimes d’un sentiment de marginalisation, voire d’exclusion, notamment des transactions matrimoniales (retard de leur date de mise en couple qui aura des conséquences sur la fécondité). Les diplômés développent alors des stratégies pour échapper au chômage tels que l’émigration, la poursuite des études surtout pour les filles ou la création d’entreprises si la situation financière le permet.L’objectif de cette thèse consiste à étudier et à comprendre les interactions entre l’emploi et les phénomènes démographiques. / In Tunisia, the massification and democratization of higher education have exploded the number of graduates who have employability problems since the early 1980s, this situation was one of the main triggers of the Revolution of January 14, 2011. As in many countries, causing the unemployment Tunisian graduates lies essentially in the phase shift between training (human capital investment), and business needs (investment in employment). This phenomenon does not fail to have significant sociodemographic consequences. Indeed, individuals with insertion difficulties often experience a sense of marginalization or exclusion, including matrimonial transactions (delay their date of couple formation will affect fertility). Graduates eek to developing strategies to escape unemployment to escape unemployment such as emigration, further education especially for girls or business creation if the financial situation allows.The objective of this thesis is to study and understand the interactions between employment and demographic phenomena.

Magister Artium - MA (Psychology) / The present study aimed to determine the employment and employability profiles of alumni from structured professional Masters programmes in psychology. Issues of low enrolment rates and high attrition rates are at the fore of transformation efforts in the South African higher education sector. The concern of graduate employability and the relevance of skills training received to the labour market are of international concern. Graduate tracer studies have been successfully implemented internationally to attempt to understand these issues. Training relevance is of particular concern for the field of psychology in South Africa, as there is a significant shortage of mental health professionals. Understanding where graduates from professional Masters degrees in psychology find employment, as well as understanding their employability, may lead to greater absorption of graduates from these programmes into the workforce. Permission to conduct the present study and ethics clearance was obtained from the Senate Research Committee of the University of the Western Cape, and all relevant ethics principles were adhered to. An incentivised, online survey was conducted with a sample of 29 Masters-level graduates from two professional psychology programmes at a historically disadvantaged university. The study used a modified version of the Standard Instrument for Graduates. The survey had a 50% response rate (29 of 58) after at least four electronic reminders. Respondents graduated between 2008 and 2013, 13 from the clinical Masters programme and 16 from the research Masters programme. Descriptive statistics were used to depict the employment and employability profiles of the alumni. Most of the respondents were female (n=21), and about a third were first generation students (n=11). Most of the respondents were currently employed (n=25). They were employed in a variety of fields, predominantly health (n=10) and higher education (n=7), and largely clustered in the public sector (n=17). This suggested a transferability of skills. The training received was perceived to be relevant, in terms of accessing employment and conducting current work. Most of the clinical graduates were registered as clinical psychologists (n=12) with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa. There were varied registrations held by graduates from the research programme and some were not registered. The respondents held generally positive attitudes towards their alma mater. These descriptive results were interpreted through the use of McQuaid and Lindsay's (2005) framework of employability, based on the interaction between their individual factors, personal circumstances and external factors. Through this frame, the results highlighted the complex nature of the employability of these graduates.

To that end, it analyzes how the pedagogues insert themselves on these companies, how they organize their personal job situation, and what professional activities they assume. It considers that college institutions, as they offer licentiate in pedagogy, have as their goal, prepare pedagogues to perform Basic Teaching Education. However, it was noticed that pedagogues are hired to work on places other than schools and colleges. The objective is to investigate the corporative employability process and the stress that it causes on the pedagogue s professional identity. For this purpose, from biographical interviews, empirical research with seven pedagogues, whom are part of companies like those, was done. The interviews were done individually on places chosen by the interviewees. Finally, the transcription of the interviews and the analysis based on selected theoretical reference were made. The results demonstrate that rarely pedagogues understand this displacement of the school environment as a deviation of their ―pedagogue being‖ - whether through teaching or learning theories or even by their previous experiences as teachers. It shows that this detachment might be related to several attractive compensations from the corporate environment; nonetheless, it demonstrates that do not always there is a drop on the link with the academy. Furthermore, we can notice that the relationship between Pedagogy with the didactic seems to be the main corporative interest. / Nesta pesquisa investiga-se qual o interesse/motivação dos pedagogos em buscarem inserção profissional fora dos espaços escolares, em empresas privadas que vendem serviços de capacitação para diferentes segmentos do mercado de trabalho. Para isso, analisa-se como os pedagogos inserem-se nessas empresas, como organizam suas situações de trabalho e que atividades profissionais assumem. Parte-se do pressuposto de que as Instituições de Ensino Superior, ao oferecerem a licenciatura em Pedagogia, têm como objetivo formar pedagogos para a atuação na docência da Educação Básica. Constata-se, no entanto, que pedagogos são contratados para atuarem em espaços educativos não escolares. O interesse é investigar o processo de inserção no espaço não escolar corporativo e o tensionamento que provoca na constituição da identidade profissional do pedagogo. Para isso, a partir de entrevistas biográficas, optou-se por uma pesquisa empírica junto a sete pedagogos que possuem vínculo com empresas com essas características. As entrevistas foram realizadas individualmente em locais escolhidos em conjunto com as entrevistadas. Por fim, foi feita a transcrição das entrevistas e a análise com base no referencial teórico selecionado. Os resultados demonstram que nem sempre os pedagogos entendem o afastamento da docência e do ambiente escolar como um afastamento do ―ser pedagogo‖ seja pela didática, pelas teorias de aprendizagem ou mesmo pela experiência que vivenciaram como docentes. Mostram que esses afastamentos podem estar relacionados com diferentes atrativos do meio corporativo, mas, em contrapartida, demonstram que nem sempre há uma quebra de vínculo com o meio acadêmico. Além disso, percebemos que a relação da Pedagogia com a didática parece ser o maior interesse dos ambientes corporativos em relação aos pedagogos.

Isto porque neste período a crise estrutural do capital exigiu do campo produtivo um processo de reestruturação, que foi acrescido pelos avanços tecnológicos da automação e da informação. Suas conseqüências no campo social e educacional foram solicitações, cada vez maiores, ao desenvolvimento de capacidades intelectuais e multifuncionais promulgando um novo trabalhador ao mesmo tempo em que criou o desemprego estrutural, a intensificação e a precarização dos postos de trabalho restantes. Neste contexto encontram-se os alunos da EJA e esta, como política educacional denuncia que os desdobramentos da ação do Estado têm se dado por meio de políticas compensatórias. Historicamente sabemos que estas não garantem aos alunos a reinserção ao mundo do trabalho como produtores autônomos, tampouco o exercício de uma cidadania crítica e participativa, afirmam somente o compromisso com o capital, deixando assim, a mercê da manutenção de sua lógica os trabalhadores como dependentes da pobreza e da exclusão. A afirmação destas políticas tem ainda, como escopo ideológico, apontado para saídas conjunturais, que não comprometem a manutenção da expansão e do acúmulo da riqueza por poucos. O poder público, empresarial e alguns segmentos da sociedade civil se unem e desenvolvem teses que, no contexto da educação como mercadoria, torna a educação escolar um produto unilateral ao sucesso da qualificação técnica profissional. É na congruência destes fenômenos que surge como concepção pedagógica à EJA o termo empregabilidade. Esta pesquisa, como integrante deste contexto, objetiva em sua investigação as imbricações históricas e os desdobramentos atuais da política educacional para a EJA. Como hipótese credita a incapacidade da mesma em equacionar, como se propõe, as condições de homens e mulheres alunos da EJA, via educação escolar, impugnando à mesma o termo empregabilidade. Como contraponto defende como tese, que o papel social da EJA, como uma das instituições de atuação na formação do trabalhador, se encontra como processo transitório entre o fim da EJA, como política compensatória de um tempo perdido, e a constituição da Escola do Trabalho. Esta é o permanente exercício da conquista e desenvolvimento do domínio intelectual, manual, estético, ético, político, social e, sobretudo econômico do mundo produtivo pelos trabalhadores que se formam como produtores livremente associados, pela articulação entre a formação no trabalho e a educação escolar. Ambos como campos de conhecimento que ao interagir no âmbito da prática, creditam uma educação para a emancipação. / Abstract: The worker education in the last decades has been grounds for discussion and controversies among civil and politics society, involving the work category. This happens because in this period, the structural crisis in the capital required a reestructuration process in the productive field, which was followed by the technological advances of automation and information. Its consequences, in the educational and social field were requests that were bigger and bigger, to the development of intellectual and multifunctional skills, creating a new worker, at the same time that created the structural unemployment, the intensification and the deterioration of the job posts that remained. In this context, there are the EJA students and EJA, as its educational politics, denounces that the developments of the state actions have been happening through compensatory policies. Historically we know that these do not assure to the students neither the reinsertion in the work world as autonomous producers, nor the exercise of a critical and participative citizenship, but assure only the commitment with the capital, leaving, to the will of the maintenance of the logical of the workers as dependent on the exclusion of poverty. The establishment of these politics have also the ideological scope, pointed to conjunctural exits, that do not compromise the maintenance of the expansion and of the accrual of the wealth by only a few. The public power, businessmen and some segments of civil society get together and develop thesis that, in the context of education as a kind of good, make the school education a unilateral product to the success of professional technical qualification. It is in the congruency of these phenomena that the term employability arose as pedagogical conception to EJA. This survey, as part of this context, has as its investigation purpose, the historical implications and the current developments of the educational politics to EJA. As hypothesis, supposes that the inability of EJA to equate, as proposed, the conditions of women and men students of EJA, through school education, questioning the employability term usage by EJA. As a counterpoint, it defends, as a thesis, that the social role of EJA, as one of the institutions that act in the worker education, is found as a transitory process between the EJA end, as compensatory policy of a lost time, and the Work School constitution. This is the permanent exercise of the acquisition and development of the intellectual, manual, aesthetic, ethics, politics, social and, above all, economics domain in the productive world of the workers that are graduated as producers freely associated, by the articulation between the formation in the work and the school education. Both as fields of knowledge which, when interacting in the scope of the practice, believe in an education for emancipation. / Doutorado / Historia, Filosofia e Educação / Doutor em Educação

Specifically refers to the employability of graduates Course Colun Administration Technical / UFMA. The research aimed to analyze influences of personal attributes, socioeconomic, cultural and school certificates in employability status, identifying ambiguities and contradictions in the context of corporate restructuring. It discusses the concept of employability, considering the origin and development in times of crisis of capital and its ideological justification of the labor market and the social exclusion process. The research was developed in a historical and dialectical approach, including bibliographic and documentary research, complemented by an empirical study with data collection through a questionnaire with closed and open questions, whose information had quantitative and qualitative analysis. The literature review was based on several authors, among them: Alberto Almeida, Alves, Antunes, Canoy, Castells, Chiavenato, Ciavatta, Coriat, Deluiz, Frigotto, Guilhon, Harvey, Kuenzer, Landini, Milk, Minarelli, Paiva, Peixoto, pochmann, Ramos, Saul, Silva, Tauile and Zarifian. The legal documents prioritized in the analysis were laws, decrees and other on education. The empirical study valued the common indicators related to the concept of employability in that theoretical framework. The text is composed of seven sections. In it, there are the changes in the working world with the crisis of capital in the early 1970s and the changes in the worker's profile, with influences in educational policies, including in education. The paper also discusses the concept of employability in its various versions and relations with stages of development of the capitalist mode of production. With the changes in the work and the concept of employability, exemplify up their influence on educational reforms in Brazil by means of Decree No. 2,208 / 1997 and No. 5,154 / 2004, which had repercussions on worker training model and influenced formatting professional education courses. The empirical study showed that the Technical Course in University of UFMA College of Administration has the current curriculum proposal formatted by the model of competence, related to the concept of employability, lives with great evasion because it is average post despite being valued by graduates , is directed to a less privileged social group economically and does not guarantee employment condition. / Este trabalho trata do conceito de empregabilidade, suas relações com o sistema de produção capitalista e implicações nas políticas de formação do trabalhador. Especificamente, refere-se às condições de empregabilidade de egressos do Curso Técnico de Administração do Colun/UFMA. A pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar influências de atributos pessoais, socioeconômicos, culturais e das certificações escolares na condição de empregabilidade, identificando ambiguidades e contradições no contexto da reestruturação produtiva. Ela problematiza o conceito de empregabilidade, considerando a origem e desenvolvimento nos momentos de crise do capital e sua justificação ideológica do mercado de trabalho e do processo de exclusão social. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se numa abordagem histórico-dialética, incluindo pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, complementada com um estudo empírico com coleta de dados por meio de um questionário com questões fechadas e abertas, cujas informações tiveram análises quantitativas e qualitativas. A pesquisa bibliográfica teve por base vários autores, entre eles: Alberto, Almeida, Alves, Antunes, Carnoy, Castells, Chiavenato, Ciavatta, Coriat, Deluiz, Frigotto, Guilhon, Harvey, Kuenzer, Landini, Leite, Minarelli, Paiva, Peixoto, Pochmann, Ramos, Saul, Silva, Tauile e Zarifian. Os documentos legais priorizados na análise foram leis, decretos e outros sobre educação profissional. O estudo empírico valorizou os indicadores comumente relacionados ao conceito de empregabilidade no referencial teórico citado. O texto compõe-se de sete seções. Nele, destacam-se as mudanças ocorridas no mundo do trabalho com a crise do capital, no início dos anos 1970 e as modificações no perfil do trabalhador, com influências nas políticas educacionais, entre as quais na educação profissional. Também, discute-se o conceito de empregabilidade, em suas diversas versões e relações com estágios de desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista. Com as mudanças ocorridas no trabalho e no conceito de empregabilidade, exemplificam-se suas influências nas reformas educacionais no Brasil, por meio dos Decretos nº 2.208/1997 e nº 5.154/2004, que repercutiram no modelo de formação do trabalhador e influenciaram a formatação de cursos de educação profissional. O estudo empírico permitiu verificar que o Curso Técnico em Administração do Colégio Universitário da UFMA tem a proposta curricular atual formatada pelo modelo da competência, relacionado ao conceito de empregabilidade, convive com grande evasão por se tratar de pós médio, apesar de ser valorizado pelos egressos, direciona-se para um grupo social menos privilegiado economicamente e não garante condição de empregabilidade.

[pt] O atual estágio do capitalismo imprime uma concorrência feroz às empresas, que tem a sobrevivência como necessidade mais premente em um cenário constantemente em mutação. Nesse ambiente, desenha- se um novo perfil das relações de trabalho nas empresas capitalistas que, na visão de autores como Capelli (1999) e Boltanski e Chiapello (2002) guarda inúmeras inconsistências. Uma das principais inconsistências é a de que, ao mesmo tempo em que se diz que as pessoas são os principais ativos organizacionais e delas se espera um nível de participação mais ativa, a lógica que rege as relações de trabalho parece ser cada vez mais a de resultados de curto prazo e de enfraquecimento dos vínculos de emprego. O presente estudo tem, então, como objetivo conhecer a percepção dos profissionais de nível superior de empresas capitalistas sobre as relações atuais de trabalho e suas possibilidades de serem sujeitos neste contexto. Os resultados sugerem que os indivíduos tendem a enxergar as atuais relações de trabalho nas empresas como um jogo cujas regras são incontestáveis, sobre as quais possuem poucas possibilidades de interferência. Ao mesmo tempo em que demonstram esse grau de conformidade com as regras do jogo, revelam sentir também, no entanto, angústia ou frustração por não encontrarem espaço suficiente para expressarem plenamente suas crenças e expectativas. Além disso, revelam que o esforço de manter a empregabilidade tem um custo pessoal elevado e que as empresas pouco participam desse esforço, deixando-o exclusivamente a cargo do próprio indivíduo. / [en] The current capitalism stage produces a fierce competition to the companies that have the survival as the most urgent necessity in a constant changing scene. In this circumstance, a new profile about work relations in capitalist companies is drawn. According to the authors Capelli (1999) and Boltanski and Chiapello (2002), these relations keep several inconsistencies. One of main inconsistence is considering people as organizational active and expecting a high level in participation, but at the same time, the logic that guides the working relations seems to be short deadline results and weakness of employment bond more and more. The current research aims to know the graduated professionals perception of capitalist companies about current working relations and their possibilities of being subjects in this context. The results suggest that individuals seem to think about current working relations in the companies as a game with uncontestable rules that present few chances of interfering. At the same time in which they show this conformity level with the game rules, they also, however, seem to feel anguish and frustration due to lack of enough space to express their believes and expectations completely. Moreover, they reveal that the effort in keeping the employability has a high personal dedication and the companies participate of this dedication weakly, leaving the responsibility only to the individual.
