After the breakdown of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, the role of education systems in preparing students for the "real world" changed. Though young people were freed from coercive state institutions, the shift to capitalism made the transition from school to work much more precarious and increased inequality in early career outcomes. This volume provides the first large-scale analysis of the impact social transformation has had on young people in their transition from school to work in Central and Eastern European countries. Written by local experts, the book examines the process for those entering the workforce under socialism, during the turbulent transformation years, in the early 2000s, and today. It considers both the risks and opportunities that have emerged, and reveals how they are distributed across social groups. Only by studying these changes can we better understand the long-term impact of socialism and post-socialist transformation on the problems young people in this part of the world are facing today.
This book examines military families' well-being and health outcomes by providing a critical theoretical perspective on their position and the risks and challenges affecting them. Authors explore the tension between demands made by two greedy institutions—the military and the family—and how the well-being of families is negotiated between the two. Uniquely, the book employs an integrative approach to observing and analyzing military-specific risk and protective factors for health outcomes of military families on various social-ecological levels, including relationship satisfaction and dissatisfaction, intimate partnership violence, parent-child relationships, child well-being, psychoactive substance abuse, depression, and PTSD. Throughout the chapters, the authors analyze research findings that reveal new health outcomes and present an empirically-tested model of military-specific risk and protective factors.

Publikacija je nastala kot rezultat mednarodnega raziskovalnega projekta GARCIA – Enakost spolov v akademski in raziskovalni sferi: boj proti karierni nestabilnosti in asimetriji (http://garciaproject.eu/). Cilj projekta je raziskovanje, oblikovanje in izvajanje posebnih ukrepov za ustvarjanje enakih možnosti med spoli v akademskem okolju (visokem šolstvu in raziskovanju). Na podlagi analize na makro-, mezo- in mikroravni publikacija obravnava spolno zaznamovane asimetrije na visokošolskih in raziskovalnih institucijah, s poudarkom na raziskovalkah/raziskovalcih na začetku znanstvenih karier, ki so zaposlene/zaposleni za določen čas. Z osredotočanjem na osebne izkušnje znanstvenic/znantvenikov, ki vstopajo v akademsko okolje, se prispevki poglabljajo v dinamike spolno zaznamovanih vsakdanjih praks v akademskem okolju in razkrivajo slepe pege v obstoječih poskusih uveljavljanja načela enakih možnosti v visokošolskih in raziskovalnih institucijah.
