What accounts for changes in the chances of being Neet in the UK
The number of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) is a key indicator on the state of youth labour markets and opportunities for young people more generally. However, it is a diverse group as people can be NEET for many reasons, and so understanding the importance of these reasons is crucial for targeting policy responses. This paper looks at data on young people between the age of 16 and 29 in the UK between 1975 …
Higher education and the labour market
‘Tertiary education has seen unprecedented growth in the past decade, but there is a significant share of graduates who struggle to find good jobs, while employers say they cannot find the people w
Professional Skills
This chapter addresses the under-researched area of professional skills formation in a comparative perspective. The first part reviews the main disciplinary frameworks for analyzing the education and training of professionals. The second part develops a comparative political economy typology for categorizing varieties of professional skill formation systems. This section identifies national institutions of relevance for professional skills, which…
Pre-Employment Skill Formation in Australia and Germany
This chapter provides a critical analysis of the role that vocational education and training plays in preparing young people for the labour market in two contrasting systems – Australia and Germany. In Germany, this occurs mainly within the structure of the “dual system”. In Australia, it occurs within a system of comprehensive high schools, where vocational studies are located within the senior secondary certificates. In Australia, it also occur…
International Skill Flows and Migration
Migrants are increasingly skilled. Historically British emigration was disproportionately skilled and new comparative OECD data shows the continuing brain drain from Europe to the USA. However skilled migration is best understood as skilled mobility not migration: permanent settlement in a destination country is a limiting case within a multiplicity of movements exemplified by the international commuting of the financial services elite. Immigrati…
Projecting the Impact of Information Technology on Work and Skills in the 2030s
The research literature in computer science provides a way of understanding the growing capabilities of information technology (IT) and anticipating their future effect on work and skills. This chapter reviews a set of recent computer science articles to identify the IT capabilities that have been demonstrated in research settings. These capabilities are compared to information on occupational ability requirements to identify occupations that are…
The Oxford Handbook of Skills and Training
Skills and workforce development are at the heart of much research on work, employment and management. Equally policy makers and managers throughout the world often cling to skill, believing that better development of them is the answer to a seemingly expanding range of practical and policy challenges. But are they so important? To what extent can they make a difference for individuals, organisations and nations? How are the supply and - more imp…
Oxford Handbook of Skills and Training
Skills and workforce development are at the heart of much research on work, employment and management. Policy makers and managers often consider the better development of skills to be the answer to a range of practical and policy challenges. This handbook sheds new light on all the major issues concerning skills and training today.
Moving beyond skills as a social and economic panacea
This article examines two inter-related issues. First, the tendency for UK skills policies to act as a substitute for other social and economic measures. Second, the problem of current conceptualisations of skills policy creating narrowly-drawn, technicist interventions that are frequently incommensurate with the scale of the problems which they purpor t to tackle. The ar ticle suggests that current policy formation processes, particularly in Eng…
Britain's Training Statistics
In the last two decades or so education and training have become central in the discussion of Britain's economic performance. There have been substantial changes in education and training policy (OECD 1995) and, at the same time, an expansion of participation in post-compulsory education. Both current and recent governments have aimed to raise work-based training through a mixture of persuasion and limited, selective, measures. Yet, there is cons…
Evaluating the assumptions that underlie training policy
This chapter discusses the assumptions underlying official training policy in the UK. It is argued that UK training policy ignores the fact that Britain's vocational education and training problem is one of lack of employer demand for skills rather than one of lack of supply.Particular attention is focused on the presumption that employers will require ever more highly trained workers at all levels, that training is crucial to their economic succ…
Towards a learning society — Definition and measurement
This article focusses on the fashionable concept of the learning society. It outlines the origins of the idea of a learning society; underscoring the different definitions of the concept that have resulted from two strands of thought ‐ economists and training experts, who have advanced the economic imperative for a more highly educated and skilled national workforce, and educationalists, who have often sought to construct a broader social and pol…
Improving Incentives for the Low-Paid
This collection of papers considers how people who are low paid can be given better opportunities in the British labour market. Topics considered include how the workings of the tax and benefits syste
