The focus of this book is not whether schooling prepares youth for
future work. Instead, the focus of this book is on how schooling
for work has become a global phenomenon and a concerted project of
nations. The importance of this phenomenon for schooling is that
while there is often little direct empirical evidence linking
schooling and the broader economy, there is an important link
nonetheless. For example, the global triumph of capitalism through
free-market trade and industry (even in officially socialist
nations) is a testament to the overwhelming importance of economic
competitiveness and labour market participation for individuals,
communities, and nations alike. It is the national economy,
however, which has the greatest potential impact on the largest
number of individuals and their communities -- not vice versa. So,
it is often at the national level where the most discussion,
planning, and policymaking occur related to schooling for work.
Why? Because the direction that the national economy follows
dictates in many instances the direction that communities' and
individuals' economic fortunes go within that nation. Readers will
find that this book looks predominantly at global phenomena
resulting from the interplay between nations.
