Abstract
This research is about the relationships between education and employment in the touristic sector. It is known that the qualifications in the tourism sector have historically generated in the company, and the low percentage of university graduates is usual. But in the last twenty years it is also important that the Spanish university has grown dramatically. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the situation of graduates in tourism. The increase of university graduates in the tourism labour market is evident, but it remains to be known the specific positions they held. This will be done using data from the Spanish Labour Force Survey. This research aims to find out whether the institutional aspects affect the occupational structure of the sector and therefore its conformation as a secondary labour market.Downloads
