Abstract How do national high-stakes exams affect educational expansion across the world? High-stakes exams are conventionally viewed as systems of exclusion that constrain enrollments. In this paper, we situate exams within a broader historical and institutional context and argue that the constraining effect of exams on educational enrollments is a recent phenomenon. Exam systems diffused globally at a time when schooling was a limited enterprise, linked to just a few occupational roles. The later emergence of more inclusive visions of education, culminating in the Education for All (EFA) movement, propelled rapid global educational expansion. In this context, national high-stakes exam systems institutionalize earlier logics of selective education and consequently blunt the impact of more recent expansionary norms. Using panel regression models and a newly constructed dataset of 142 countries from 1960 to 2010, we show that high-stakes exams are associated with lower enrollments. However, this association is strongest in recent years, and exams interact negatively with measures of international pro-educational norms and pressures on nation-states. These findings are consistent with our historical/institutional argument: Exams constrain enrollments in recent years, in part by rendering nations less responsive to global expansionary pressures.

Resumen<br /><br />El riesgo de dependencia, que concierne a las personas mayores y discapacitadas, despierta un interés creciente entre los responsables políticos y se constatan unos avances significativos en esta materia: adecuación de los instrumentos de financiación, modernización de los centros y de los servicios de ayuda domiciliaria, mejora de la integración de estas personas, etc. Pero, el incremento de las necesidades cuando la generación de los baby-boomers llegará a una edad avanzada plantea la cuestión de la sostenibilidad del gasto, del impacto sobre las familias que supone la atención de una persona dependiente así como la de los medios específicos que es preciso movilizar para las personas que padecen la enfermedad de Alzheimer. El debate en torno al “quinto riesgo” gira sobre su naturaleza con respecto a los demás riesgos cubiertos por la Seguridad social, la población concernida, la parte que incumbe al público, a los hogares y a los seguros en la financiación. Ante esta situación, existen dos posibilidades en cuanto a la financiación de la dependencia: la primera caracterizada por el mantenimiento de una parte mayoritaria de la solidaridad colectiva, mientras que la segunda privilegia la solicitación del seguro privado y del seguro de previsión.<br /><br />Abstract<br /><br />The risk of dependency, which concerns the major and disabled persons, generates an increasing interest between the politicians and a few significant advances are observed in this matter: adequacy of the instruments of financing, modernization of the centers and services of domiciliary help, improvement of the integration of these persons, etc. But, the increase of the needs when the generation of the baby-boomers will come to an advanced age raises the question of the sustainability of the expense, the impact on the families that the attention of one dependent person supposes as well as the specific means that is precise to mobilize for the persons who suffer Alzheimer's disease. The debate concerning the "fifth risk" turns on his nature comparing with other risks covered by the social security, the concerned population, part that is incumbent on public, to the families and to the insurances in the financing. In front of this situation, two possibilities exist for the financing of the dependency: the first one characterized by the maintenance of a majority part of the collective solidarity, whereas the second one favours the solicitation of the private insurance and the insurance of forecast.

Relevant Factors

Purpose Workplace mistreatment and aggression have become pressing issues in today’s multi-generational workplace. Yet, to date, the issue of investigating the impacts of passive and active types of mistreatment simultaneously on different generations has been widely neglected in the management literature. The purpose of this paper is to empirically explore the resultant effects of active (i.e. workplace tolerance to incivility) and passive (i.e. workplace ostracism) mistreatments on negative emotion and intention to sabotage, a generational perspective. Design/methodology/approach Data were garnered from bank employees in Nigeria (n=320) and analyzed with the aid of a structural equation modeling technique. Findings The data reveal that active and passive workplace mistreatments are relevant factors inflicting negative emotions and intention to sabotage, and negative emotions inflict the intention to sabotage. Furthermore, the impact of passive workplace mistreatment on negative emotion is higher among Generations X and Y cohorts, and its impact on the intention to sabotage is higher among Baby Boomers cohorts. The impact of active workplace mistreatment on negative emotion is higher among Generation Y and Baby Boomers cohorts, and its impact on the intention to sabotage is higher among Generations X and Y cohorts. Originality/value This paper advances our knowledge concerning the reactional response of employees to workplace mistreatment generation wise. Based on the study findings, theoretical and practical implications are identified and discussed.

The Impact

The occurrence of the aging population phenomenon in the future between 2030-2050 will result in the domination of the elderly population in the world, which is caused by the phenomenon of baby boomers that occurred in the 1960-70s where birth rates and dependence rates were very high. Elderly is the peak of the last cycle in human life so that the aging process will occur which is marked by a decrease in physical and psychological functions. This decline can be overcome by meeting the needs of the elderly such as the ability to be mobile, community and the most important thing is health. The development of times and the flow of globalization require people to be able to survive in all conditions. However, the busyness of their children at work is often the impact of the physical and psychological conditions of the elderly, which in the process of aging require more attention. In Indonesia, there are already many nursing homes where the elderly live. However, the social structure in Indonesia is not used to the trend of elderly people living separately from their families and homes. Therefore, the project of the Halfway House for the Elderly in Bogor can become a new place that can accommodate the needs of the elderly to get attention to their aging condition without having to leave their home and family. The Halfway House provides rooms that can be occupied periodically after attending seminars and therapy activities. Facilities such as entertainment, fitness, animal therapy, environmental therapy are available to apply the concept through the retreat, recharge and reborn stages so that they can become productive and be active for the elderly community. Keywords:  health; community; elderly; aging; halfway house Abstrak Terjadinya fenomena aging population pada tahun 2030-2050 mendatang dimana populasi lansia akan mendominasi muka bumi diakibatkan oleh adanya fenomena baby boomers yang terjadi pada tahun 1960-70an dimana angka kelahiran dan ketergantungan sangat tinggi. Lansia merupakan puncak siklus terakhir dalam kehidupan manusia sehingga akan terjadinya proses penuaan yang ditandai dengan penurunan fungsi fisik dan psikis. Penurunan tersebut dapat diatasi dengan pemenuhan kebutuhan terhadap lansia seperti kemampuan untuk bermobilitas, berkomunitas dan hal yang terpenting adalah kesehatan. Berkembangnya zaman dan arus globalisasi menuntut masyarakat untuk dapat bertahan hidup dalam segala kondisi. Namun, kesibukan anak untuk bekerja seringkali menjadi dampak kondisi fisik dan psikis lansia yang dalam proses penuaannya membutuhkan perhatian lebih. Di Indonesia, sudah terdapat banyak panti jompo yang menjadi tempat tinggal kaum lansia. Akan tetapi, struktur masyarakat di Indonesia kurang menyukai dan tidak terbiasa apabila lansia harus tinggal secara terpisah dari keluarga dan rumah mereka. Oleh karena itu, proyek Rumah Singgah Komunitas Lansia di Bogor ini dapat menjadi tempat baru yang dapat mewadahi kebutuhan lansia untuk mendapatkan perhatian pada kondisi penuaan mereka tanpa harus meninggalkan rumah dan keluarganya. Rumah singgah ini menyediakan unit kamar yang dapat dihuni secara periodik tertentu setelah mengikuti seminar, dan kegiatan terapi. Fasilitas-fasilitas seperti hiburan, kebugaran, terapi hewan, terapi lingkungan yang tersedia diterapkan untuk mewujudkan konsep benih melalui tahapan retreat, recharge dan reborn sehingga dapat menjadi rumah singgah yang produktif dan aktif bagi komunitas lansia.

The Relationship

Life sometimes imitates art. Written in the 1950s as science fiction, Michael Young’s The rise of the meritocracy has turned out to be surprisingly realistic in hindsight. Many Western European countries underwent major educational transformations in the second half of the past century, which have strongly enhanced the meritocratic nature of society. First, we describe the relationship between education and meritocracy and how we classify educational levels. Second, we describe how the enormous educational expansion in the second half of the twentieth century has constituted a critical juncture for the rise of new social and political divides. The chapter documents how the number of well-educated citizens has risen spectacularly in the past decades, and it explores competing claims with respect to the impact of this educational revolution.

The Impact

Recent advancements in technology have enabled relatively young organisations to grow at a speed, and to a scale, that enables them to reach a comparable level of employer brand equity and make them as attractive to work for as much more established firms. As a result, traditional luxury organisations compete against younger, non-luxury companies for talent that might have been considered easier to attract previously. The presented study explores differences between the meaning of an attractive employment proposition for leaders from two generations of Baby Boomers and Millennial and brings forwards recommendations for attracting and sustaining leadership talent in the luxury retail sector. The study builds on the existing literature about the impact of generational differences on management practices, within the specific industry context. The results highlight misalignment in perceptions between older generation of current leaders (Baby Boomers) and younger generation of future leaders (Millennials) in the sector.
