Abstract
The transformations of the labor market, the “wage-earning” crisis, technological change and new forms of work management had a great impact on the processes of youth occupational insertion. In this context, an investigation was carried out to gather information on the labor sectors of those graduated from technical secondary education in different jurisdictions of Argentina. Based on the analysis of results, it can be inferred that the processes of youth occupational insertion are built in a period that covers more than ten years of graduation; are mainly based on family support that is conditioned by economic resources, as well as by the existing educational offer in different jurisdictions. And the link between the specialization of the secondary education degree and labor insertion is restricted by the effective labor opportunities available and determined by the traditional differentiation of gender.
