| Description | The aim of paper is to examine the impact of the study workload and work experiences on the student’s expectation of their future labour market chances. For the future formal evaluation of the Czech students’ workload, it is necessary to take into account if the students’ jobs are closely connected to their field of study, which makes the important part of their education. We used the unique dataset based on the survey EUROSTUDENT V to test this challenging question. We have found that Czech full-time students spent in the workweek almost one full-time employment studying at working. It was proven, that students who study very hard as well as students with in-branch experiences are optimistic about their future labour prospects. Especially business-minded students prefer working hours to studying at school or at home. Finally, we have found considerable differences between men and women work experience during their studies. |
