Esta investigação visa identificar e analisar os desafios enfrentados pelos jovens recém licenciados da sub-região do Tâmega e Sousa ao ingressarem no mercado de trabalho. A
pesquisa, exploratória e transversal, combina metodologias qualitativas, através de
entrevistas, e quantitativas, através do inquérito por questionário. As entrevistas e o
questionário foram realizados entre os dias 6 de abril e 18 de maio de 2024, abrangendo
um público-alvo com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 30 anos e recém-licenciados.
A sub-região do Tâmega e Sousa, composta por 11 municípios com uma população jovem
significativa, serve de foco para este estudo exploratório devido à sua demografia e
facilidade de acesso aos participantes. A amostra inclui jovens de ambos os sexos, com
idades entre 20 e 30 anos, como referido, que concluíram a licenciatura nos últimos seis
anos.
O fator distintivo desta investigação reside no facto de se ter analisado os desafios
enfrentados pelos jovens recém-licenciados da sub-região do Tâmega e Sousa no acesso
ao mercado de trabalho, identificando as discrepâncias entre as competências adquiridas
durante a formação académica e as exigências do mercado de trabalho, com o objetivo de
contribuir para a criação de ambientes mais favoráveis à sua inserção profissional.
Os resultados obtidos, com uma amostra maioritariamente do sexo feminino (66%) na
faixa etária de 20 a 25 anos, destacam a precariedade no emprego, com 33 participantes
em contratos a termo certo. Estes resultados sugerem a necessidade de políticas de apoio
mais eficazes, melhorias nos serviços de inserção profissional e maior integração de
experiências práticas no currículo académico que ajudem a preparar melhor os jovens
para as exigências do mercado de trabalho.
