The connection between education and job quality is a topic of growing interest for labor market dynamics, since low quality salaried jobs can limit the development of the potential capabilities of the young workforce and, with it, the opportunity to move up the social pyramid structure. The level of quality of salaried employment is a multidimensional phenomenon; to measure it, a synthetic index was constructed from the perspective of the working class, considering the characteristics of the job. The objective of this article is to analyze the influence of the level of education on the level of quality of employment of the young salaried population, according to the size of the company, in Metropolitan Lima in the year 2022, from Amartya Sen's theory of human capabilities. Regarding the methodology, we used data from the National Household Survey, information provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics for the year 2022 . The final sample size was 3 552 observations. In addition, a partial proportional odds ordinal logit regression model with robust variance was fitted. Among the main results, it was obtained that salaried employment was mostly of low quality in Metropolitan Lima in the year 2022. In addition, it was verified that the size of the firm and the level of education have a direct relationship with the level of quality of salaried employment. (p<0.05). The study concludes that the level of education is a key factor in the level of quality of salaried employment, but its influence depends on other conversion factors (gender, poor) that the young labor force possesses and on the size of the firm.
