Recently, the proportion of people employed outside education has strongly increased. Geographical studies lead hardly ever to unemployment. ; L’article présente les premiers résultats d’une enquête relative à l’emploi des géographes, menée sous les auspices du Comité National Belge de Géographie. Parmi les diplômés en géographie issus des universités belges entre 1970 et 1998, 47 % sont aujourd’hui occupés dans l’enseignement secondaire ou supérieur, 47 % travaillent dans un autre secteur, 5 % n’ont aucune occupation professionnelle et ne recherchent actuellement pas d’emploi et 1 % seulement sont inscrits comme demandeurs d’emploi. Ces derniers temps, le nombre de diplômés employés hors enseignement a fortement augmenté. Les études de géographie débouchent rarement sur une situation de chômage.
