| Abstrakt: | Most studies examining a mismatch between education and job focus only on vertical mismatch, i.e. the discrepancy between the level of education attained and the level required for a given job. Less attention has been paid to the match between the field of study and job, so-called horizontal mismatch. This thesis explores horizontal mismatch among tertiary-educated workers in the Czech Republic. First, we measure the incidence of horizontal and full mismatch (combination of horizontal and vertical mismatch) between 2005 and 2019. Second, we examine determinants of horizontal mismatch using the binary logit model and full mismatch determinants using the multinomial logit model. We apply two different objective measures of horizontal mismatch. The results suggest that the incidence of horizontal mismatch has slightly decreased since 2005, while the incidence of full mismatch has more than doubled. Among other factors, the field of study significantly affects the likelihood of horizontal and full mismatch. Gender influences only the probability of full mismatch. |
