Lifelong Learning in Paid and Unpaid Work
Lifelong Learning is essential to all individuals and in recent years has become a guiding principle for policy initiatives, ranging from national economic competition to issues of social cohesion and personal fulfilment. However, despite the importance of lifelong learning there is a critical absence of direct, international evidence on its extent, content and outcomes. Lifelong Learning in Paid and Unpaid Work provides a new paradigm for understanding work and learning, documenting the active contribution of workers to their development and their adaptation to paid and unpaid work. Empirical evidence drawn from national surveys in Canada and eight related case studies is used to explore th...
Higher Education in Societies
Universities are not only economic engines but societal ones. This book interrogates the embeddedness of Higher Education (HE) systems in national social contracts, and discusses how their renegotiation is at play in the organisation of students’ access to universities. Structured around the central concept of the social contract, the growing recognition of the role of HE in its implementation, and regulations governing both individual and collective access, Higher Education in Societies: A Multiscale Perspective, explores the shifting mission of HE over the years from one thought to produce an elite to one of distributive justice by presenting research at the macro, meso and micro levels. In bringing together researchers from different countries, continents, and disciplines to study the same issue through a multiscale analysis, this book forms the starting line for further theoretical and methodological debate on the value of weaving together different approaches to the study of HE, including historical, comparative, sociological, organisational, institutional, quantitative, and qualitative.
Implementing the School-to-Work Transition in Québec - Pierre Doray Louise Ménard Anissa Adouane - Pathways to the Labour Market Series - No|7
The study does not intend to look at the school-to-work transition and the integration process as a whole, but rather to understand the steps taken by educational authorities to support and facilitate the transition from school to work in the skilled trades. [...] The Structure of Québec's Educational System Each province in Canada has a different educational system, since the Canadian constitution, and in particular Section 93 of the British North America Act, gives the provinces the right to "exclusively make Laws in relation to Education". [...] One of the reasons was to determine the percentage of the group continuing their studies and the percentage that had decided to return to their studies after spending time on the labour market. [...] The objective was to enhance the value of vocational education in the eyes of youth, their parents and employers. [...] As was the case in many countries, the primary impact of the increase in school enrolment starting in the 1960s was in general education.
Challenging Transitions in Learning and Work
In the past two decades, advanced capitalist countries have seen sustained growth in labour market participation along with a growth in the number of jobs workers tend to have in their working lives. ‘Challenging Transitions in Learning and Work’ presents a critical and expansive exploration of learning and work transitions within this context.
L' accessibilité aux études postsecondaires
Cet ouvrage traite de l’évolution historique de l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur ainsi que de l’effet des politiques publiques sur la composition de la population étudiante, la persévérance aux études et l’obtention d’un diplôme terminal. Surtout, il témoigne des efforts investis ces dernières années dans l’analyse et l’amélioration des conditions d’accès aux études postsecondaires. Il présente ainsi des portraits globaux de la situation qui prévaut au Québec, mais aussi ailleurs en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. Il expose notamment les facteurs explicatifs de l’accessibilité aux études, que ce soit les conditions économiques, sociales, culturelles...

Anthropologies of Education
Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.
More Than It Seems
Household work is an essential part of many people's lives, yet all too often it is rendered invisible. More Than It Seems aims not only to make this vitally important work visible, but also to reconsider it as a source of learning. Drawing on a large study conducted in Canada, the authors consider diverse forms of household work, including carework. They highlight the experiences of people at the margins - including immigrants, Aboriginal women, people with disabilities, nannies, and people who provide and receive care - and analyze those experiences through the prism of lifelong learning theory. The result is a pioneering work that challenges our assumptions about both household work and lifelong learning.
