Education is considered as an important factor of well-prosperous economy. Education which corresponds to the needs of a labour market becomes the key educational target of young people and employees who want to adopt to the changes at the labour market. Therefore there are still challenges for education in Poland – how to modify the process of teaching and how to infl uence the process of learning in such a way that education would become an important factor in growth of human and social capital. Contemporary education should take into account variable requirements of the labour market, including also needs of the present and future employees and employers. An important challenge for education in Poland is to adopt its structure and teaching programs to the needs of employees not only on the domestic labor market, by also on the labour markets of other countries, mainly in Europe. Simultaneously, Polish educational system must be competitive with respect to those of other European countries, take into account demographic and technological changes in order to prepare employees willing to work in diff erent countries.

Human And Social Capital

Using the Spanish National Immigrant Survey (NIS-2007) we identify the ethnic niches where workers from five main immigrant communities concentrate. We then implement logit models in order to assess how structural factors and human and social capital variables affect the odds of working in these niches. We observe that the strong segmentation of the Spanish labour market strongly favours the concentration of immigrants in certain occupational niches. Nevertheless, variables related to human and social capital still play a significant role in the placement of immigrant workers in different niches, all of which are not equally attractive.

AbstractAstronomy is an attractive subject for education. It deals with fascination of the unknown and the unreachable, yet is uses tools, concepts and insights from various fundamental sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology. Because of this it can be well used for introducing sciences to young people and to raise their interest in further studies in that direction. It is also an interesting subject for teaching as its different aspects (observation techniques, theory, data sampling and analysis, modelling,?) offer various didactical approaches towards different levels of pupils, students and different backgrounds. And it gives great opportunities to teach and demonstrate the essence of scientific research, through tutorials and projects. In this paper we discuss some of the challenges education in general, and astronomy in particular, faces in the coming decades, given the major geophysical and technological changes that can be deducted from our present knowledge. This defines a general, but very important background in terms of educational needs at various levels, and in geographical distribution of future efforts of the astronomical community. Special emphasis will be given to creative approaches to teaching, to strategies that are successful (such as the use of tutorials with element from computer games), and to initiatives complementary to the regular educational system. The programs developed by the IAU will be briefly highlighted.

Abstract In the global world, changes that strike our educational system occur daily. In that matter, most of the traditional guidelines have been thrown away in order to strive towards new goals and methods, the external ones, which satisfy the continually changing labor market. The purpose of an individual in that kind of a system is to adapt in order to satisfy its needs while Socrates searches for happiness inside a man itself - a man possesses knowledge and wisdom for himself and his freedom, not others. With his method of dialectic speech, he seeks his truth and that of others and offers lots to think about. His teaching, which emphasizes love and desire for learning and real knowledge that leads to becoming an independent man, has been inspiring people for over twenty-five centuries, and it should be taken into consideration when thinking about youth, younger generations, and their future. In this paper, we are comparing and showing the differences in education today and the one in Socrates’ time. This paper highlights changes brought by the Bologna Declaration, but also the directionality in the labor market today, which makes the universities entrepreneurial centers. What does that mean for the knowledge economy we are striving for? Can we even state that we really are a knowledge society if we only aspire to knowledge that is dictated by the constantly changing labour market? We compare the knowledge to which we aspire with the knowledge which Socrates searches for and show the disadvantages of today’s educational system along the way. Here we offer Socrates’ ideas and opinions, which lead to possible progress towards genuine wisdom.

The University

The current situation in the youth segment of the labour market is characterized by high unemployment and instability. The mechanisms regulating relations between the labour market and the educational services market do not ensure that the educational process of young people meets the needs and requirements of employers. In this regard, a necessary condition today is to improve the mechanisms with greater adaptive capacity, which would effectively solve the problem of youth employment. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the practical mechanisms used in the UrFU to improve the adaptive capacity of young professionals and to assess the views of graduates on their application in the University. To this end, the empirical material obtained in the study of the opinion of students aged 20 to 21 years, on the basis of UrFU in Yekaterinburg, was analyzed using the questionnaire method. The relevance of the study is due to the existence of the problem of adaptation of young people in the labor market, which requires improvement, and is enhanced by the fact that it has a practical orientation. The materials of the work can be used in subsequent research of the youth segment of the labor market, as well as in the preparation of textbooks and reading training courses in universities on the basics of employment technologies and the effective behavior of young people in the labor market. The results of the study showed: 1. UrFU pays special attention to the promotion of employment and adaptation in the labor market of graduates, using mechanisms that have a more General (universal) character, but do not contain targeted (individual) assistance to graduates. 2. To solve the identified problems, the authors develop a special training course «technology of effective employment», aimed at improving the adaptive capacity of graduates of UrFU.

Youth labour market integration in Europe explained Youth labour market integration in Europe explained Young people in Europe face great difficulties nowadays when first entering the labour market. Unemployment and temporary employment are high among youth, although considerable differences in these figures exist between European countries. In this article, we study to what extent cyclical, structural and institutional factors explain cross-national variation in youth labour market integration. In addition, we examine to what degree educational differences exist in the impact of these macro characteristics. To answer these research questions, we use data on young people from 29 European countries who were interviewed in the European Social Survey of 2002, 2004, 2006 or 2008 and left day-time education in the period 1992-2008. The results of the empirical analysis first of all show that high unemployment prevent young people from a smooth integration in the labour market. In addition, economic globalization has a positive effect on youth labour market integration. We also demonstrated that young people experience less difficulties with labour market integration as the educational system is more vocational specific. Higher educated in particular profit from the positive effect of the vocational specificity of the educational system. Finally, as the employment protection legislation of incumbent workers is stricter, young people experience more difficulties with labour market integration, especially higher educated youth.

As part of the Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) programme, Oxfam’s partner INJAZ works to bridge the skills gap between the educational system and the changing needs of the labour market in Jordan. Oxfam supports the INJAZ internship programme, which aims to integrate young people into private-sector companies in order to help inform their future career choices. For many young people who participate in the programme, their internship is a stepping-stone to full employment. This case study presents examples of young people who enrolled in the scheme, enhanced their skills, and found a job. Though the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 has affected the pace of recruitment, Oxfam and INJAZ are still working tirelessly to achieve the programme’s mission.

Research Question: Improvement of the educational system facilitate the access to labour market and affect the stability, and affect the competitiveness index. On the other hand, the country with a high score of GCI have a better educational system and more stable labour market. Motivation: Our goal was to investigate how important it is for a country to have educated people and how difficult it is to achieve the high rank in labour market efficiency without them. Results of the previous studies showed that a higher education is connected with the labor market. According to this statement in the paper we analyzed two indicators the Higher education and training and Labor market efficiency and their influence on the competitiveness score of the countries. Idea: The main idea was to analyzed how the Higher education and training and Labor market efficiency on the competitiveness score of the country.

Inappropriate Relationships

The labour market is constantly changing. Employees, depending on their age, experience and qualifications, have different expectations towards the employer, and at the same time expect other motivators in the employment process. A particular challenge for employers is to motivate young people who enter the labour market, because it is difficult to motivate them in such a way that they do not give up work and want to get involved with the company for longer. Due to the topicality of this issue, the purpose of the study is to indicate the reasons that make young people quit their jobs. The study uses reports on factors determining the behavior of young people on the labor market, as well as the results of surveys conducted among students of selected universities in the Wielkopolska region. These studies have shown that the most common reasons for changing jobs identified by young people are: unsatisfactory pay, a bad atmosphere, and inappropriate relationships with their superiors.

Young people on the labor market is a topical issue both in academia and in the latest European and national policies. Young graduates are no exception. They invest in education and want a better match of their studies with the job. Some analyzes performed on AMIGO data and data performed with economics graduates help us to analyze the existing situation. The conclusions show us significant differences in terms of income, in terms of the field of study as well as the mismatch with the graduated field. In terms of gender, there are differences in job satisfaction, with men being more likely to reach leadership positions than women.

Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 1233-6688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2020.56.14The position of a career advisor in the contemporary educational system is linked to challenges. The situation on the labor market and its changes over the years are crucial for vocational guidance and lifelong learning. Appropriate support from a specialist, parents of an apprentice and teachers can lead to future educational and professional success. Young people think about self-realization, development, and success; they notice that the course of a career in line with their assumptions depends on getting to know their strengths and weaknesses. The main task of career counselors is to help in choosing the further path of education, which is why their role is so important in the life of young people. The article deals with the reality and ideal model of a career advisor and shows the attitude of young people towards a specialist.
