The chance of getting a (matching) job after a period of non-employment The chance of getting a (matching) job after a period of non-employment In this article, we examine the relationship between the duration of non-employment spells and the probability of finding a job that matches the acquired educational level. We focus on persons who attained upper secondary vocational education and higher education. We use data from the Dutch Labour Force Survey (LFS) in the period 2003-2008. The probability of finding a job decreases with the duration of not working. For people with upper secondary and higher vocational education, the probability of finding a job that matches the acquired level of education also decreases with non-employment duration. For university graduates, we do not find a relationship between the duration of non-employment spells and the subsequent job level.

Purpose: This article explores the relationship between governmental policy and the development of higher vocational education in China. Design/Approach/Methods: The article begins with a textual analysis of dozens of policy documents on higher vocational education issued by the Chinese government since 1999. Findings: The article argues that the development of higher vocational education in China has been largely policy-driven. This development can be divided into four stages: scale development, quality improvement, capacity building, and systemwide enhancement. The transition between each of these developmental stages was marked by new policy initiatives undertaken by the Chinese government. Originality/Value: The government’s recent efforts to expand higher vocational education enrollment by one million students have significant implications for China’s higher vocational education. Additionally, the proposed “1 + X” model—which attaches equal importance to academic education and skill training—may represent the beginning of a new stage in the development of higher vocational education in China.

The issue of interrelationships between education, employment and the level of income evaluation is a cross-cutting nature, where the economic, social, political and legal levels are intertwined. Its broader context predicts its thematic coverage. The article presents preliminary results of the mutual relationship between acquired skills and the level of education achieved and the ability of the individual to become involved in the labor market. The aim of the article is to determine, using statistical and analytical methods, the correlation between the employment rate and the level of education attained in the EU countries and within the territory of the Slovak Republic. On the basis of the initial analysis the authors aim to answer the question if university graduates achieve higher incomes than secondary-educated people. Eventually they try to propose solutions and measures that are necessary for increasing the level and value of human capital, especially in the Slovak Republic.

The level of education, being the most significant sign of the quality of labor force, contributes to ensuring the development of enterprises in production and economic aspects and requires constant attention and research of its dynamics in order to prevent and overcome negative trends. In the article the estimation of level of education is conducted in Ukraine, his dynamics is investigational in the context of providing of height of quality of labour force. It is set that on part of population with higher education Ukraine passes ahead the most developed countries considerably, but in the last few years there are ambiguous changes in the level of formation of labour force. So, the amount of persons having base higher and incomplete higher education grows gradually, and the amount of persons with complete higher education diminishes vice versa. The special attention is deserved by the considerable height of amount of persons, having only base, initial common or does not have education. Also the last years there is gradual reduction of amount of competitors of higher education, reductions of level of participation of young people in the formal and informal types of studies and professional preparation (in particular in rural to locality). On the whole it is necessary to mark some decline of index of general level of formation of labour force in 2019. The presence of tendency of decline of educational level of labour force in Ukraine is conditioned by the row of factors among that it is possible to distinguish the following: limit access to higher education for the certain layers of population of Ukraine (in particular for of scanty means families and habitants of villages); selective form of differentiation of studies that assists inequality between schools; depreciation of meaningfulness of higher education, that it contingently the crisis state of economy of Ukraine; subzero activity and personal interest of leaders of the Ukrainian enterprises are in financing of increase of educational level of personnel. The set circle of factors negatively influencing on the level of formation of labour force of Ukraine requires an immediate removal. Thus a question of increase of level of formation of population must be priority not only for the state but also for business, as exactly private enterprises are the basic "consumers" of labour force, one of major quality signs of that is a level of education.

Comparing the Probability of Unemployment in Southern Greece Vis-À-Vis the Entire CountryThe basic aim of this paper is to investigate the impact that educational level of individuals and participation in training programmes (apprenticeship, intra-firm training, continuing vocational training, popular training) have on their job prospects in Southern Greece (namely the regions of Southern Aegean and Crete) during the implementation of the first Community Support Framework (1989-1993). We also research the differences between the two regions under study and the entire country. We try to see whether the educational level itself and participation in training programmes increased the chances of finding a job. More specifically, we research what are the social and demographic characteristics that increase the chances of someone in the examined population finding a job, how those chances change (if they do) after the introduction of training courses and, also, whether University graduates, in contrast to most of the rest of the EU member states, face greater difficulties in finding a job than non-University graduates, as a series of studies for Greece conclude. To the author's knowledge, this is the first attempt to analyse individual anonymised records (micro-data) from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) for both employed and unemployed in those two regions at NUTS 2 level.

AbstractWe study whether a family’s economic situation and parental educational level are associated with classroom belonging among students in comprehensive secondary, upper secondary general and upper secondary vocational education in Finland. We also study whether there are educational-level differences in this possible association. We use survey data from the Finnish School Health Promotion study from 2017 (N = 114,528). We conduct random effect linear probability models with schools as the second-level grouping variable. The results show that family’s low economic situation predicts a higher probability of lack of sense of classroom belonging in Finland, despite the country having one of the world’s most equal educational systems and comparably low economic inequality. Neither mother’s nor father’s educational level has any association. A family’s low economic situation seems to predict the lack of a sense of belonging most strongly in comprehensive secondary education and most weakly in upper secondary vocational education. Our results slightly support the proposed significance of context-specific hierarchies in determining the association between economic resources and sense of belonging. A family having a poor economic situation is not reflected in the sense of classroom belonging as strongly in schools where students have a low average economic situation compared to those where students have a high average economic situation. We suggest measures, in addition to alleviating economic inequalities, to support the sense of school belonging, especially for low-income students.

Geographical mobility and the match between education and job Geographical mobility and the match between education and job In this article we examine the influence of geographical mobility on the match between education and job. We investigate to what extent geographical mobile school-leavers have better education-job matches than school-leavers who are less mobile. For this purpose we use data about school-leavers from secondary (vocational) education and higher vocational education in the period 1996 to 2001. Contrary to previous research we examine, next to the educational level of the job, also the match between field of study and job, job security and number of working hours of the job. Incorporating this set of four job characteristics adds a potentially useful dimension to understand school-leavers job-search behaviour and the role of geographical mobility in finding a suitable job. Our results show that to some extent mobility leads to a better match between education and job. It appears that mobile school-leavers have a higher probability of a permanent or a full-time job than school-leavers who are less mobile. Furthermore, the probability of a job at the attained educational level increases with mobility. However, the impact of mobility is smaller for the latter. This result suggests that school-leavers especially are willing to be mobile to ensure job security or a full-time job.

In this article I explore the relationship between Finnish ninth graders’ L2 motivational profiles, language grades and future study plans after basic education. The aim of the study is to critically explore the relationship between motivation and language grades and reflect on the possible implications of this for language education policies. The statistically representative data was collected with an e-questionnaire (n=1 206). For this study, I analysed those who planned to continue their studies to general upper secondary school or vocational education after basic education, and who submitted their language grade (n=981). In earlier analyses of the study (Kangasvieri, 2019), five motivational profiles were found: the least motivated, averagely motivated with low anxiety, averagely motivated, the most motivated and students with high anxiety. In this study, the connection between these motivational profiles and students’ education choice is explored, taking into account the effect of grades. A logistic regression analysis was conducted. The results show that the probability to continue to general upper secondary school or vocational education in each motivational profile depends on the grade. The model explains about 30 percent of the students’ educational choices. Additionally, the results show that the more motivated the student is in his/her language studies, the higher grade he/she feels is needed in order to plan to continue to general upper secondary school after basic education. Correspondingly, less motivated students plan to continue to general upper secondary school with poorer grades than more motivated students.
