Graduate unemployment - Whose fault is that?

 Which pressure on budget cuts higher education institutions to do more with less, it has to justify the different purposes they serve.
Whether it is training people for active citizenship, facilitating social mobility, improving skills needed in the labor market or conduct high quality research, these activities are weighed against each other in competition for resources and create a more efficient system education.
The rising unemployment of young professionals in Europe has stressed the needs of the labor market in relation to reforms in higher education.
Unemployment is not caused by Education
Three arguments are used to explain the need for reform.

One says that there is a mismatch between skills and needs of the labor market. Another said that there is an oversupply of graduates in certain regions. And some just say that high unemployment is not enough to reform the education system reason.
Thorough examination of other factors that may influence or be the cause of these problems disappeared. The reasons for graduate unemployment should be further investigated and found out they extend beyond the content or quality of education.
Several questions related to the debate about graduate unemployment. They include the demands of employers for students to have previous work experience in their sector and the fact that graduates are often offered temporary contracts paid less and fired more easily.
An array of issues contributing to a problem that is often structural, including tax policies, the lack of incentives for employers and poor economic performance.
Initiatives to improve employability
Education should not be used as a scapegoat to determine graduate unemployment - the barriers that exist must be recognized and addressed and all stakeholders need to take responsibility and solve these problems.
There are many initiatives taking place at the European, national and local level, aiming to increase the employment of graduates.
They range from the recent European Commission communication, called Rethinking education and national reforms to employment, including graduate as an indicator in decisions on the financing of higher education in the development of career centers within universities.
There is a desire to do something, but we should ask ourselves in whose terms it is done.
