Resumen

The 2008 economic crisis produced significant setbacks in economic growth in developed countries, and countries like Portugal, in particular,were seriously harmed. Human capital is a factor of production which provides benefits to both individuals and society and, as such, it is crucial when analysing countries’ economic revivals. This article’s goal is to carry out a study of the likelihood of being employed in Portugal between 2006 and 2016, differentiating between full-time and part-time work, according to the maximum level of study attained. The results show that individuals with higher education have a high probability of having full-time work.
