Direct linkAlliance for Excellent Education, 2014
Over the past thirty years, the modern workplace has changed radically, and the demands on those making the transition from the classroom to the workforce continue to rise.

Peer reviewedPullman, Ashley – Gender and Education, 2015
This paper examines Canadian federal and cross-provincial higher education policy from 1960 to 1990, a critical time when provisions for vocational and adult training came under the auspices of governmental concern, justified under both an economic rationale and as a way to address persistent forms of inequality. The problematisation of skill…

Choy, Sarojni; Billett, Stephen; Kelly, Ann – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2013
Current tertiary education and training provisions are designed mainly to meet the learning needs of those preparing for entry into employment and specific occupations.

Clayton, Pamela M.; Greco, Silvana; Sanchez, Maria Jose Lopez – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2013
Despite still widespread unemployment in Europe, there is a growing shortage of labour, due to the ageing of the population and discrimination against old people both in and out of employment. Following the long history of human rights legislation, such discrimination is now outlawed but many third-agers have become discouraged or do not know how…

The well-being of young adults in the United States today remains an area of key interest to the public and policy-makers alike.

Shafer, Emily Fitzgibbons – Journal of Marriage and Family, 2011
Economic theories predict that women are more likely to exit the labor force if their partners' earnings are higher and if their own wage rate is lower. In this article, I use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 2,254) and discrete-time event-history analysis to show that wives' relative wages are more predictive of their exit than are…

We examine the effects of a branch campus on the social welfare of the host country and the foreign university. Overall, we find that a branch campus increases both the domestic social welfare (measured by the aggregate student utility) and the tuition revenue of the foreign university. The effect of a branch campus on the brain drain is…

Skyrocketing college tuitions and trillion-dollar student loan debt have put college and university spending in the spotlight.

This report…
