Alza de los desocupados: ¿Qué es la empleabilidad?
The article distinguishes employability as a complex, continuous psychosocial process from simple labor insertion, which merely quantifies job placement. It highlights that while public data provides detailed occupational information, Chilean universities lack a strategic approach to measuring true employability, unlike their European counterparts. Chile currently relies on an operational indicator measured at graduation, which is problematic because new graduates often initially work in unrelated fields. In contrast, European standards consider labor insertion valid three years after graduation, allowing for a more accurate assessment of how well education aligns with professional outcomes. This comparison is vital for open data because it critiques the quality and timing of public metrics. By advocating for long-term productivity measurements instead of immediate placement statistics, the text promotes better data governance. This shift ensures that open datasets accurately reflect educational effectiveness and societal development, rather than offering superficial or misleading statistics to policymakers and citizens.
