Three essays on institutional framework's effects on the human capital development and occupational outcomes

Abstract

This thesis has the goal to investigate how the human capital, take into account in different age period, can be influenced by reform in the institutional assets. In the first chapter universities’ students are take into account, analysing whether a change in the labour market can affect the time needed from the students to obtain their degree. It is founded that a deregulation, that lead to an increase of the number of pharmacies, had a positive effect on the speed with which students reach the degree. In the second chapter using the same deregulation of the first one, the focus point is moved on the job satisfaction of the worker in the pharmacist sector. The results show that, not only the deregulation lead to an increase of speed for the students, but after they become workers in the abovementioned sector, they are also more likely to be satisfied with their job. Finally, in the third chapter, is analysed the effects of a reform involving a change in the asset of the city council on the level of primary school students. This first chapter seems to demonstrate that there is no effect on the younger students.
