Abstract. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between pre-university graduates, the employment rate for the age group of 15 to 19 year olds and the unemployment rate for the same age group. The analyzed period is 1997-2011. The data used is provided by the National Institute of Statistics. The share of university graduates in the pre-school population will be calculated and the existing links identified. The analysis of data shows that during the period under review the share of graduates fluctuates, dropping at the end of the period under review, as does the occupancy, accompanied by rising unemployment.

Keywords: graduates, school population, employment rate, unemployment rate.
