ANALYSIS BY COHORT OF THE BACCALAUREATE GRADUATES AND HIGHER STUDIES GRADUATES – TERRITORIAL DISPARITIES IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the dynamics of the higher education graduates by cohort according to the evolution of the number of baccalaureate graduates by region and county. There are gaps between the different areas, in favor of the more developed ones. Apart from the city of Bucharest, counties such as Cluj, Timiș, Brașov, Sibiu, Arad, which attract young people from other areas of the country and because of the better offer of employment upon completion of studies, stand out. The conclusions of this analysis based on the data of the official statistics confirm the existence of disparities in the territorial profile, between the poorer areas of the country and the most developed, being appropriate a coherent policy to favor these areas in granting funds for a higher education accessible to the population.
