Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted the employment and early careers of people who had attained doctoral graduates in Finnish universities in 2006 and 2007.

The respondents were first asked how they had financed their doctoral studies, what their reasons for taking up a doctoral degree had been, and whether they had been an unemployed job-seeker during their doctoral studies. Relating to employment situation and quality of work, questions charted what the respondents' occupational status was, whether they had been unemployed after doctoral graduation, and what reasons had potentially hindered their employment. The respondents who were in paid work were asked their employer type, tasks at work, gross monthly income, satisfaction with work, and ability to make use of skills learned in doctoral studies in their job.

With regard to the significance of doctoral degree in occupational life, opinions were charted on whether the topic of doctoral dissertation had been useful in employment, and whether having a doctoral degree had led to an increased salary and better standing in occupational life. Relating to developing and improving doctoral education, views were probed on the guidance received during studies, satisfaction with the studies, and things that should be emphasised in the education (e.g. teaching skills, entrepreneurship).

Background variables included the respondent's gender, university, field of study, and age at the time of graduation.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The response rate was calculated based on the number of doctoral graduates found in the KOTA database (maintained by the Ministry of Education).

The data are missing the graduates of the University of Art and Design, Helsinki School of Economics, and Helsinki University of Technology, which are all now part of Aalto University. Variables containing in-depth information about studies and employment were removed (e.g. job title, major subject, duration of studies, previous degrees). In addition, information about nationality and mother tongue, municipality and region of residence were removed. The variables "age" was categorised, and "field of study" and "university" were coarsened with regard to some smaller fields and universities. Svenska Handelshögskolan, Lappeenranta University of Technology, and the Universities of Vaasa and Lapland were categorised together. One male who had graduated from Åbo Akademi in 2006 - 2007 was edited to have been a female due to a small number of graduated males (N=2). Open-ended responses were removed with the exception of variables that enquired the benefit of having a degree in terms of employment (q10_1 and q10_2), guidance and counselling (q27), and working life cooperation in studies (q30). In these open-ended responses, identifiers that could have made identification of the respondent or third parties possible were anonymised.
