Abstract

Here The Education-Work relationship is an issue for debate. According of the interactionist or reproductivist paradigm, education is considered as the central tool of personal, professional and national development and mobility, to be blamed for the perpetuation of cultural and social differences. This issue has been dealt with by Dr. Aparicio in works covering more than three decades and three generations along the line in university individuals (graduates, drop-outs, teachers, doctors), inserted in different occupational areas. The general purpose was to analyze the factors (quantitative) or dimensions (qualitative) which make an impact on university and work achievement (in their interaction) from their sui generis systemic theory. We will also work on the comparative studies done with doctors from different contexts, which are related to the professional mobility “observed” regarding the widely spread idea of degrees devaluation and mobility stagnation under the plafond effects (saturation) and problems associated to work insertion and promotion according to the level of education reached. The results show: a) said occupational mobility is resent even in quite marked-out levels within contexts in which the plafond effects make a lesser impact.
