Patterns Involved in Young Teachers’ Leaving the Profession

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to redefine the concept of the “quitting decision” among young graduates. Here, the terms “quitting” or “leaving the profession” offers an approach that can be taken up by scientific research as regards interpretation; and there are no preliminary evaluation factors. The study is based on a career-tracking dataset for young teachers who graduated in 2008 or 2010. According to the study hypothesis, the employability of young, profession-leaving teachers is partially to be determined by their former subject; and differences may be identified – simultaneously – in connection with the employment sector involved, a job’s content, and the level of income and satisfaction. An analysis of these factors shows us several patterns, ones demonstrating that a person’s “quitting/leaving the profession” should be interpreted without prior value judgments being made.
