A person’s career trajectory is composed of her/his past work or educational affiliations (institutions) at different points of times. Knowing people’s, especially scholars’, career trajectories can help the government make more scientific strategies to allocate resources and attract talent and help companies make smart recruiting plans. It could also support individuals find appropriate co-researchers or job opportunities. The paper focuses on inferring career trajectories in the academic social network. For about 1/3 of authors not having any affiliations in the dataset, we need to infer the missings at various years. Traditional affiliation/location inferring methods focus on inferring a stationary location (one and only) for a person. Nevertheless, people won’t stay at a place all their lives. We propose a Space-Time Factor Graph Model (STFGM) incorporating spatial and temporal correlations to fulfill the challenging and new task of inferring temporal locations. Experiments show our approach significantly outperforms baselines. At last, as case study, we develop several applications based on our approach which demonstrate the effectiveness further.

UNSTRUCTURED Iran has faced severe sanctions in recent years from some countries. Due to the dependence of the Iranian health industry on government payments, the health of the people in this country has suffered a lot. One of the solutions for Iran's sanctions to reduce the impact of sanctions on health is to rely on domestic researchers, but researchers in Iran are having problems. One way to reduce researchers' problems is to use the National Academic Social Network. This article describes the steps of setting up an academic social network in a developing country in four stages.

The issue of human capital by gender has been sparsely discussed in previous literature especially male labour force. The contribution of both genders to economic growth has intensified every year. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of human capital by gender on economic growth in Malaysia. Data ranging from 1982 to 2018 were analysed by using the ARDL approach. The results show that higher male labour force participation rates can boost economic growth in the short run and long run in Malaysia. Higher female labour force participation rates, on the other hand, can reduce economic growth in the short run and long run in Malaysia. Therefore, the government should encourage more male labour to participate in the labour market by giving incentives. More job opportunities should be created for both genders.

This research discussed grand investment tourism sector efforts to increase the number of villas and hotels to expand employment opportunities in the   Sub-district of Ubud Bali." affect the economic growth of a region. The main problem is how is the tourism sector's grand investment effort to increase the number of villas and hotels to expand employment opportunities in the Sub-district of Ubud Bali? High levels of unemployment can increase the amount of crime and increase social unrest. If examined further, from an economic standpoint, if many foreign and local investments are realized then job opportunities are wide open for the people in the area and other regions so that people's income rises by itself. The government is trying to create vocational education that aims to produce a quality and superior workforce in all sectors. Investment activities are the use of a sum of money in the hope of obtaining benefits and can plan their financing and implementation as a unit of activity within a certain period of time. Expenditure on investment costs is done once and only produces benefits a few years later.


Malaysia is one of the developing countries which has the fastest growth rate. It is in its last miles to achieve its goal to become a high-income advanced nation by 2020. The country has enormously reduced its poverty rate and curtailed its inequality gap shaped by various policies and initiatives. With the rate of the poor is now less than one percent, the focus has reoriented to elevate the bottom 40 percent (B40) households to middle-income households. Various initiatives have been strategised to address the B40 which also include innovation initiatives that are aimed at addressing the marginalised in Malaysia. The initiatives seek to provide the marginalised with better access to services and products and job opportunities by empowering them to contribute to society. Hence, this paper seeks to take stock the government policy measures as well as the initiatives by reviewing the relevant documents. The findings show that the existing government innovation efforts are aligned with the national and global agenda on sustainable development, where inclusivity and sustainability remain as its main agenda. The authors proposed an integrated framework of implementation to serve as a tool to guide policymakers for better implementation in the future

This policy research paper analyses employability factors contributing to youth unemployment and also provides working recommendations for further dialogue and engagement on youth employability in the EA countries. The data and policy analyses are based on the theory of 4-Es as propounded by International Labour Organization and Youth Employment Network literature. The field research survey, focus group discussion, combined observational and consultations with key informants were major research methods used in collecting secondary and primary data and other information. Data analysis used non-parametric methods, mainly frequency, and cross tabulations. The study found that the governments and private sectors have not created adequate, remunerative and sustainable job opportunities to match with increasing labour force within the country through effective utilization of natural resources available and improvement of production technology within the region. Diversification of the economy is limited. The government fiscal policies and other systems have not been effective in reducing unemployment for both youths with ought and with disability. The paper recommends optimal employment creation conditions. The proposed implementation strategies include creation of pro-economic growth job opportunities; diversification of the economy; creation of the environment conducive for fiscal policies adjustment; increasing participation of youth with disabilities in the job planning process and strengthening the institutional capacities.
