| Resumo: | The aim of this article is to analyze the time frames for men and women starting employment, their entry into the job market, and working conditions, with an emphasis on educational qualifications. We use the data from Espinosa Rugarcía Foundation’s social mobility survey (Encuesta ESRU de Movilidad Social en México ESRU-EMOVI) 2017 with descriptive techniques. Higher education levels are found to correspond to a delay in starting work, and reduces gaps between men and women. The results also show that gender segregation continues to exist in first jobs. Finally, when women and men with high educational levels obtain their first job, they have access to senior positions and better working conditions.
