Gender and Future Employability: Insights from Male and Female Students at the West University of Timișoara, Romania

Summary/Abstract: This report examines the perceived future employability of students enrolled at the West University of Timisoara in 2023, with a particular focus on gender differences. The research is based on a sample of 1,442 valid responses collected from students across 11 faculties. Employing quantitative research design, the study utilized an online questionnaire structured around six key dimensions to assess students’ perceptions. The findings indicate a generally positive level of agreement among all participants regarding the future skills, advantages, and achievements outlined in the questionnaire. Statistical analyses reveal a nuanced pattern in gendered perceptions of employability: while male students tend to express greater optimism about their professional future in certain domains, female students exhibit a more positive outlook in others, things that confirm the data obtained by other studies which focused on this matter: gender. Overall, the results suggest that, despite some variations, students of both genders share largely similar perspectives on their future employability.
