Labour Market Efficiency in the European Union - Employment Protection and Fixed Term Contracts (Hardcover): Thomas Kruppe,... Labour Market Efficiency in the European Union - Employment Protection and Fixed Term Contracts (Hardcover)
Thomas Kruppe, Ralf Rogowski, Klaus Schoemann
R5,339 Discovery Miles 53 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The deregulation of labour law in the European Union was thought to be a spur to lasting growth of employment and an increase in labour market efficiency. In particular, it was hoped that facilitating fixed-term contracts would help many Europeans out of continued unemployment and back into the workforce. Based on data from the European Labour Force Survey. This text reveals that the results of such policies have been far from those expected. This study provides a country by country overview of the legal regulations concerning employment protection and fixed-term employment in the 12 Member States of the European Union (prior to its expansion in 1995). Employment patterns of fixed-term employees are compared with those of employees in standard employment relationships, with the analytical focus on age-, gender- and industry specific patterns and assess the probability of fixed-term employment within the European Union. They offer hypotheses concerning the impact upon the labour market of deregulation and of regulation.

Forecasting Labour Markets in OECD Countries - Measuring and Tackling Mismatches (Hardcover, illustrated edition): Michael... Forecasting Labour Markets in OECD Countries - Measuring and Tackling Mismatches (Hardcover, illustrated edition)
Michael Neugart, Klaus Schoemann
R3,882 Discovery Miles 38 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book offers a wide-ranging overview of the state of labour market forecasting in selected OECD countries. Besides presenting forecasting models, the contributions provide an introduction to past experiences of forecasting, highlight the requirements for building appropriate data sets and present the most up-to-date forecasts available. In most cases the forecasts project mismatches in the labour market as they are likely to occur in the coming years with respect to occupational groups, qualifications and employment in specific sectors. The authors demonstrate how these insights might be used to help reduce employment risks both for the individual worker and the national labour market as a whole. The country examples also show how information on labour market trends is disseminated and used by various actors, such as policymakers, firms and individuals. In a world of rapid structural change, the results of the research presented in this book could help cushion the impact of potential shocks from future mismatches and skill shortages in the job market. Policymakers at the supranational, national and regional level, and academics in the fields of labour market theory and policy can all draw valuable information from this insightful study.

Education, Training and Employment Dynamics - Transitional Labour Markets in the European Union (Hardcover): Klaus Schoemann,... Education, Training and Employment Dynamics - Transitional Labour Markets in the European Union (Hardcover)
Klaus Schoemann, Philip J. O'Connell
R4,219 Discovery Miles 42 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Education and training are of critical importance to individual employment prospects. This book questions whether the policies that govern education, training and employment actually facilitate or inhibit social integration. The authors analyse initial entry into the labour market and subsequent movements between employers, and explore links between education, training and the labour market. The book argues that although education is a good predictor of labour market integration and employment potential, and despite political efforts, social background nevertheless remains influential. The importance of continued training to improve opportunities for promotion is also demonstrated. The volume draws on economic, sociological and political science research to examine the potential for lifelong learning to enhance social integration, and new theories and evidence on the transitional labour market of learning and working are discussed. A wide range of European countries are also analysed using data from the European Community Household Panel surveys (ECHP), as well as national enterprise-level surveys and case studies. Education, Training and Employment Dynamics will be welcomed by a varied audience; economists will find the challenge to human capital theory inspiring, and sociologists are offered a new approach to life course research, whilst political scientists will find an interesting study of multi-level policy making in the EU.

Competence Perspective on Lifelong Workplace Learning (Paperback): Christian Stamov Rossnagel, Stefan Baron, Brigitte M.... Competence Perspective on Lifelong Workplace Learning (Paperback)
Christian Stamov Rossnagel, Stefan Baron, Brigitte M. Kudielka, Klaus Schoemann
R1,263 Discovery Miles 12 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An ageing workforce and skilled labour shortage has created the need for workplace learning well beyond middle adulthood. With only a minority of older workers participating in training and development programmes, participation rates of older employees clearly need to increase. This book presents a competence perspective that treats workplace learning as a trainable skill, rather than as a cognitive function. Consistent with this view, competence should be accessible to interventions from human resource development professionals. By the same token, successful workplace learning across the lifespan depends on appropriate incentive structures and work conditions that in turn require specific institutional support and a policy context that fosters lifelong learning.
