Abstract
The problem of unemployed university-educated professionals in Mexico is embedded in the relationship between higher education institutions and the productive sector. The absence of effective public policies that link the two sectors is a consequence of the government's reliance of market-led forces. This lack of linkage affects a great number of users of the higher education system and limits their eventual contribution to the economic well-being of the country. The provision of a quality education is a core strategy in providing greater productivity and economic certainty to society, however, it requires an interventionist government with policies that link higher education and employment in effective ways.
