RT journal article T1 Efficiency Analysis of Graduate Alumni Insertion into the Labor Market as a Sustainable Development Goal A1 Blanco Canto, Miguel A1 Bares López, Lydia A1 Ferasso, Marcos A2 Economía General K1 human resources development K1 social inequality K1 labormarket K1 graduate alumni K1 employment AB The assumption that greater education levels of a given population leads to better employabilitylevels thanks to higher education institutions (HEI) is widely known. However, most ofthe research related to HEI is focused on the determination of efficiency levels from an eminentlyacademic perspective. The objective of this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of theefficiency degree of Latin American universities in terms of labor insertion for their graduate alumni,in order to evaluate the Sustainable Development Goal 8 related to decent work and economic growth.The data enveloping analysis (DEA) methodology was implemented. Main results showed differentlevels of labor efficiency among the studied institutions that were classified into eight groups ofuniversities. Likewise, it was noted that Latin American university students showed employmentlevels above those of workers with lower levels of education and training.
