This article analyzes the use of human capital theory as applied to the youth labor market. A model of the interaction of social actors in the labor market of the Russian Federation is given. The article considers the concept of the youth potential and its components. Within the framework of this model the orientation of young job seekers to develop their potential for high economic benefi ts is required, while employers are involved in activities on the professional socialization of students and graduates in order to develop human capital and training of mobile professionals with a high level of professional and general cultural competence. The value of the proposed model is associated with the development of common cultural and professional competences. The model refl ects the economic behavior, characteristic of the young students and graduates, who receive higher professional education. This model is not the main but additional way to explain human behavior in the fi eld of employment, based on the conceptual and methodological basis of economic sociology.

Education In Africa

Doctoral education in Africa is at a turning point and African universities are called upon to act as the focal points for growth in African development. African Studies reveal that the growth of doctoral education in the leading universities in Africa are increasing but at a slow rate and universities, must be  motivated to produce enough doctorates to contribute to growth of their knowledge economies. The need to create high-level skills demand on the job market is evinced and African universities must be driven by their governments, private sectors and academic communities to generate more doctorates in supply to its labor market.

This article reports evidence gained by the SOPHIE Project regarding employment and labor market-related policies. In the first step, quality of employment and of precarious and informal employment in Europe were conceptualized and defined. Based on these definitions, we analyzed changes in the prevalence and population distribution of key health-affecting characteristics of employment and work between times of economic prosperity and economic crisis in Europe and investigated their impact on health outcomes. Additionally, we examined the effects of several employment and labor market-related policies on factors affecting health equity, including a specific analysis concerning work-related gender equity policies and case studies in different European countries. Our findings show that there is a need to standardize definitions and indicators of (the quality of) employment conditions and improve information systems. This is challenging given the important differences between and within European countries. In our results, low quality of employment and precarious employment is associated with poor mental health. In order to protect the well-being of workers and reduce work-related health inequalities, policies leading to precarious working and employment conditions need to be suspended. Instead, efforts should be made to improve the security and quality of employment for all workers.

Urban Labor Market

Abstract The article investigates the working of a model of an urban labor market in LDG's which has two sectors—one sector (the U-sector) being characterized by ease of entry, variable hours of work and flexible earnings, the other (the O-sector), by rigid wages maintained at a relatively high level. Migrants from the rural areas respond to the expected earnings in both sectors, and can search for O-sector jobs while participating in the U-sector. Labor supply determined by such a migration function, together with the relative rates of growth of income in the two urban sub-sectors (on plausible assumptions) lead to the possibility that average earnings in the U-sector decline over time relative not only to O-sector wage, but also to the alternative income in the rural sector. In the last section a distinction made between two types of job seekers found in the U-sector—those with and those without an interest in the O-sector—gives the result that average earnings in the U-sector may sometimes be independent of conditions in the O-sector. It is also seen that, under certain conditions, even with ease of entry and variable hours of work, the U-sector may not serve as a channel for migrants seeking to enter the O-sector. The analysis provides a classification of labor market types which may be of help in organizing empirical information from different parts of the world.

Abstract. This chapter analyses the core characteristics of labour market governance in Portugal in a comparative perspective, analyzing the interplay of public and private regulation in the setting of wages and employment conditions. The chapter describes the main characteristics of the Portuguese employment model within the European context and how it departs from other Southern European countries, notably when it comes to female and low-skilled employment. The chapter argues that the power relationships that emerged out of the transition to democracy favoured a more liberal employment regime than in Spain, resulting in a lower threshold of unemployment but also higher income inequalities and lower wage protections. The models have tended to converge in recent years, and income inequality in Portugal has diminished. The chapter highlights the high level of female employment since the 1960s, a characteristic that departs significantly from other Southern European countries. It is explained by specific contextual factors, notably the legacy of the colonial war and high rates of emigration.

This is a relevant subject due to the high level of unemployment and the associated structural unemployment present in Croatia. The authors propose the introduction of the marketing concept in the Croatian educational system in order to stimulate the overcoming of the gap between the unemployed working force and the job market. The paper presents the educational system and its elements by explaining the specifics of marketing in education, provides guidelines for the managing of the educational system based on the marketing principle, and indicates the consequences of (non)implementation of the marketing concept within the Croatian educational system. The introduction of the marketing principle in the education system, together with the application of other important structural reforms, should improve the currently weak labor market situation.

This study explores the current state of the translation job market from the perspective of recent translation graduates. It attempts to evaluate the efficiency of the academic and technical training programs of the Department of Translation (DoT) at the University of Tripoli. The study examines how well DoT prepared graduates for professional work. It collects insights and analyzes a database of a variety of status indicators such as employment conditions, career options available for new translation graduates, domains that translators regularly search for: salary and income, occupational standards including years of experience and skills and qualifications required by employers. Based on evidence collected from the database, there is a wide range of employment positions and domains in which a translation graduate can occupy. However, quantitative analysis of the survey administered to translation graduates indicates that most graduates tend to work as teachers and could not obtain jobs as translators due to a shortage of opportunities and low salary intake in the translation industry. The study reveals that experience is not specified, and applicants with limited experience are also valued by employers in the 21st century job market. Nevertheless, the results of the investigation also suggest that IT skills, advanced language knowledge, and strong interpersonal skills are all crucial elements for job-seekers with no significant amount of experience. Furthermore, most graduates have a medium to negative perception of the university training and did not feel prepared enough to join the labor market after graduation. Although the vast majority of participants claim that the current situation in Tripoli had a direct impact on their job-seeking experience, about a third of the total participants surveyed revealed that they managed to obtain opportunities abroad using their translation degree.

Academic Job Market

Past research shows that the job market for sport management academic positions was strong, with more job openings than qualified professors to fill the positions. Due to changing global and higher education climates, however, it was necessary to conduct further research to examine how these shifts in the external environment have impacted the sport management job market. Therefore, this study employed a content analysis methodology to examine the faculty job openings in sport management from 2010 to 2011. In addition, current doctoral students were surveyed to determine their preparation and expectations for the academic job market. Results revealed much greater parity between the number of open positions and the number of doctoral student job seekers than ever before. Similarities and differences were discovered between the actual job market and students’ career expectations and goals. Ultimately, the job market has become more competitive and job seekers must take steps to ensure a competitive advantage.

We develop an infinite-horizon dynamic search model to understand education–job mismatches in the labor markets where job seekers face three different types of labor markets based on their minimum educational requirements. Using a new dataset, we find that our model matches the US data well when we introduce heterogeneity through wage distributions. We use counterfactual experiments to show that even when the general unemployment level is kept constant, if the conditions within different job market types change, overeducation levels may increase or decrease dramatically. We find that regardless of the general unemployment level, frictions in the job market is the main reason for overeducation. However when unemployment is high, highly educated job seekers may settle for jobs below their education level at a higher level leading to a high degree of overeducation in the labor market and crowding out job seekers who have lower level of education.
