What is it about?
This study focus concerns the career boundaries to graduate employability in a crisis economy.

Why is it important?
This study shows that graduates' employability is not solely a matter of individual agency or human capital acquisition. By opposition, it is influenced by several other structural and contextual forces that act as career boundaries that graduates encounter in both external and internal labour markets.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a huge responsibility for me because it gave me the opportunnity, as an active member of a specific community, to give "voice" to a young generation of highly educated graduates' that struggle to survive in a labour market segmented between "good" and "bad" jobs. I only hope that their testimonies will make some difference for you, as a reader.
