Skills are frequently in the news and in the public eye in every
country. Stories highlight concerns about education and literacy
standards, grades, learning by rote, and university students being
unprepared for work, as well as debates surrounding internships and
apprenticeships, and social exclusion through skills policy. The
recent financial crisis has forced education and training to take a
back seat, and has caused an increase in youth unemployment. Skill
and skilled work are widely considered important for promoting both
prosperity and social justice. But how do we define skill? Skills
and Skilled Work brings together multiple perspectives- economics,
sociology, management, psychology, and political science- to
present an original framework for understanding skills, skilled
work, and surrounding policies. Focussing on common themes across
countries, it establishes the concept and measurement of skill, and
investigates the role of employers, workers, and other social
actors. It considers a variety of skill problems and how a social
response from the government can be understood. Based on the
findings of economics, management science, and theories of social
determination, it develops a rationale for social intervention
beyond market failure. This book weighs up both the prospects and
the limitations of what can be achieved for societies with a better
emphasis on skills and skilled work, and it promotes the study of
skill in modern economies as a distinct sub-field.
