Higher Education and Labour Market Data

This data set includes the quantitative data and software, qualitative data (both Amharic and English version), instruments, and sources of data. The quantitative data was gathered from 161 respondents as part of a doctoral dissertation titled "Higher Education and Labor Market in Ethiopia: A Tracer Study of Graduate Employment in Engineering from Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar Universities." In the recent extracted article titled "Higher Education, Gender, and Job Opportunities of Engineering Graduates in Ethiopia: An Exploratory Study," only 158 data points out of 161 were entered into SPSS because of three missing data points, which makes it difficult to use bootstrapping with missing data, so only 158 data points were considered. A variable that has missing data is eliminated. This research uses bootstrapping to see the model's performance in terms of predicting power, so by increasing the sample size, it is possible to simulate the model's projections (Collier, 2020).
