Gender, Education and Employment
For much of the twentieth century, women lagged considerably behind men in their educational attainment. However, in recent decades, young women have become an important source of human capital for labor markets in modern societies, as well as potential competitors to the male workforce. This book asks whether or not women have been able to convert their educational success into gains on the labor market. The expert contributors address the topic on a comparative level with discussions centred on gendered school-to-work transitions and gendered labor market outcomes. Thereafter they analyze the country-specific implications of the gender redress from a wide range of countries including the USA, Russia and Australia. This enlightening book will appeal to graduates and postgraduates studying social policy, education, the labor market, inequality and gender. It will also be of interest to experts in the fields of sociology, education, political science and economics and those interested in educational research.
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.
Transitions in Vocational Education
This volume focuses on the different passages and transitions in Vocational Education and professional work life. Exploring the personal experiences of coping with the transition from school to vocational education, vocational education to work, and – finally – within work life, the book takes account of the rapidly changing conditions under which these processes take place.
Gender Innovation and Migration in Switzerland
This open access book analyses migration and its relation to socio-political transformation in Switzerland. It addresses how migration has made new forms of life possible and shows how this process generated gender innovation in different fields: the changing division of work, the establishment of a nursery infrastructure, access to higher education for women, and the struggle for female suffrage. Seeing society through the lens of migration alters the perspective from which our past and thus our present is told—and our future imagined.
Gendered Life Courses Between Standardization and Individualization
This volume presents an integrated approach to life-course analysis with innovations on the theoretical, empirical and methodological level. Life courses are considered as multidimensional individual trajectories that are influenced not only by available resources and by trajectories of closely related others (children, partners), but also by gender and by specific institutional configurations. This approach is applied to Switzerland, a society mixing modern and traditional elements.
Anthropological Abstracts 8/2009
Anthropological Abstracts is a reference journal published once a year in print, and it lists - in English language - most publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology published in the German language area (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most German publications in anthropology are not included in the major English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts offers a convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists in general who do not read German. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. Most abstracts are authored by the editor, while others are specified accordingly. The journal has been edited by Ulrich Oberdiek since 1993 (formerly: Abstracts in German Anthropology; since 2002: Anthropological Abstracts). (Series: Anthropological Abstracts - Cultural/Social Anthropology from German-speaking Countries - Vol. 8)
Zwischen Autonomie und Verbundenheit
Dieses Buch befasst sich mit Generationenbeziehungen im jungen Erwachsenenalter. Im Zentrum des Buches steht die emotionale Verbundenheit zwischen jungen Erwachsenen und ihren Müttern und Vätern. Anhand von Erkenntnissen aus der TREE-Studie in der Schweiz zeigt Ariane Bertogg, dass nicht nur die aktuelle Lebenslaufsituation bei der Aushandlung der Kind-Eltern-Beziehungen eine Rolle spielt, sondern dass auch die familiäre Vorgeschichte und familiäre Netzwerkstrukturen sowie der gesellschaftliche Kontext, wie etwa soziale Schicht oder Region, in dieser dynamischen Lebensphase bedeutsam sind.
Bildungsverläufe von der Einschulung bis in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt
Expertinnen und Experten zeigen in Originalbeiträgen, wie an verschiedenen Stellen von der Grundschule bis zur Wahl einer weiteren Ausbildung nach der Grundausbildung Bildungsverläufe beeinflusst werden, beispielsweise durch die Förderung von verhaltensauffälligen Kindern in der Grundstufe, durch die Gestaltung von Selektionsverfahren in die Sekundarstufe I oder durch die Organisation der Berufsorientierung vor der Sekundarstufe II. Der Sammelband vereint neue theoretische Ansätze und empirische Befunde, die auf aktuellen, längsschnittlichen Datensätzen beruhen.
Education et vie au travail 01 : Perspectives contemporaines sur les parcours et l'orientation des..
Depuis plusieurs décennies, les parcours scolaires, d'insertion professionnelle et de vie tendent à se complexifier, si bien que la question de l'orientation des jeunes devient saillante et soulève des défis inédits. Les « choix » d'orientation résultent en effet d'une articulation complexe, parfois contrastée, entre influences contextuelles et questionnements d'ordre individuel. D'emblée, tant les institutions scolaires que le marché du travail cadrent et canalisent la manière dont les jeunes se développent et font leurs choix de carrière. En même temps, ces choix émanent de leurs représentations et anticipations de soi, autrement dit de la manière dont les jeunes construi...
