The relationship of work to the needs—especially psychological—of clients is explored. It is concluded that full evaluation and testing of the individual should he used to develop a specific rehabilitation program for him. Such a program might include intensive training and counseling, as in the case of most congenitally blind high school graduates, preparatory to placement or placement early in the program where the role played by work itself is an important part of the person's rehabilitation. The problem of individuals with unrealistic vocational goals is also discussed.

The question of how field of study at university predicts later earnings is of great theoretical and practical relevance. However, when investigating the role of field of study for earnings, researchers often rely on descriptive data with only a few control variables. The present study went beyond such estimates by investigating how field of study relates to earnings when holding important psychological and sociological constructs at the end of high school constant. The analyses were based on a unique longitudinal dataset of 1,162 German high school graduates followed for 14 years, which includes measures of abilities, personality, and family background. Structural equation models revealed significant earnings premia for the fields of engineering/technology, medicine/health, and business/economics even after controlling for abilities, personality, and family background. Including those control variables reduced the raw field of study effects.

Institutional Choices

This paper uses panel survey data to document the postsecondary educational activity of high school graduates in Edmonton and Vancouver over a five-year period. It enquires whether, in "articulated" postsecondary systems offering a range of institutional choices and a variety of transfer options, large class and gender differences in participation and completion continue to be observed. The results reveal that even in systems explicitly designed to improve access to and encourage completion of postsecondary programs, family background continues to strongly influence postsecondary outcomes. In both cities, social class advantages appear to be passed from one generation to the next, to a large extent, through the high school tracking system, since high school academic program is a strong predictor of postsecondary participation and completion. Gender also continues to matter, but in more subtle ways than in the past.

Russian Education

The dynamics of several demographic indicators of Russia - child and teenage cohorts in 1970-2000, life expectancy in 1995-2000, migration flows among federal districts in the period between two censuses of 1989 and 2002 - are considered in the article. The author puts forward the hypothesis about the influence of these indicators on the level of education in narrow and broad senses - in educational institutions and the society as a whole. He estimates the perspectives of regional higher educational institutions under conditions of absence of plan distribution of graduates and the double cyclical fall in the number of high school graduates. The agenda for the development of a two-stage system of higher education corresponding with international integration processes is formulated.
