“…Parents of higher education graduates may view blocks more positively than the parents' group who are not higher education graduates. It may be due to their experience during college, in which almost all the time involved using computers (Chigbu & Nekhwevha, 2022). The economic status level factor is essential because it determines learning success (Sun et al, 2021).…”

The authors develop a teacher-parent partnership-based learning system and apply it to investigate through experimentation. Samples were taken by multistage random sampling and placed in two groups. The experiment group involved 56 elementary schools (899 students and 899 parents), and the control group (without using the system) was fifty-two schools (541 students). Describing student competency data using descriptive statistics and competence in the experimental group was tested through one-way ANOVA, Sig. = .05. The students' competence with the partnership-based learning system was better. Student competence in the group of parents' work type, educational level, and economic level appears to vary. The kind of parents' work interacted with parents' academic rank and parents' financial status levels. In conclusion, various parents' backgrounds play a crucial role in partnership learning through internet-based learning systems, which must be considered in learning system use.

“…Through innovation and market competition, purely market-based labor markets offer opportunities for skills development and adaptation; however, due to its emphasis on profit-driven market dynamics, rapid technological advancements, and the allocation of resources based on market forces, market economies have impacted skills mismatch in the labor market. Due to this, there is a discrepancy between the talents that companies value and those that job seekers possess ( Livingstone, 2019 ; Chigbu and Nekhwevha, 2022a ; Chigbu et al, 2023 ). Due to the capacity of market economies to develop and adapt new technology, the labor market is constantly disrupted and altered ( Min et al, 2019 ; Minbaeva, 2021 ; Lefèvre et al, 2022 ).…”

Promoting decent work and sustainable economic growth within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) entails addressing gender inequality, the consequences of market economies, and the role of the informal sector while also considering environmental sustainability. Research on SDG 8 remains limited, often adopting an appraisal perspective, and the concept of decent work within this goal remains relatively unexplored. Additionally, the focus on the challenges and inadequacies of achieving sustainable economic growth through decent work in the context of SDG 8 is insufficient, resulting in significant knowledge gaps. To contribute to filling these gaps, this paper adopts a descriptive and critical review perspective, systematically analyzing 108 journal papers and reports to investigate the concept of decent work within SDG 8. The research addresses the challenges and inadequacies related to decent work embedded in SDG 8. The review reveals that while progress has been made in tackling gender inequality in the labor market, gender bias, income discrepancies, and underrepresentation of women in senior positions persist, hindering inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all – SDG 8. Moreover, SDG 8’s focus on inclusive and sustainable development falls short of effectively addressing market economies’ structural disparities, insecure working conditions, and exploitative labor practices. Additionally, support for informal sector workers, who lack essential rights such as legal protection and social security, remains insufficient. Ecological destruction is sometimes an unintended consequence of purely market-based labor markets with an emphasis on economic growth, with SDG 8 lacking sufficient integration of environmental sustainability in its framework. The novelty of this study comes from its in-depth, critical, and policy-focused analysis of the ideas around decent employment in the context of SDG 8. The findings underscore the importance of providing fair, safe, and secure employment opportunities to support economic growth and development while upholding workers’ rights. In conclusion, we emphasize the crucial role of promoting decent work and sustainable growth in achieving SDG 8’s overall objectives, as it directly impacts other SDGs.

Vocational education is an education that provides technical skills, knowledge and abilities needed by the workforce in various industrial sectors, but currently there are many graduates who are not accepted to work in the industrial sector, including because the graduates do not have the quality that adequate according to industry standards. The purpose of this study is to find out several factors that affect the quality of graduates. This research method is a literature review taken from several digital search sources of scientific journals such as the Garuda website, Researchgate and Google Scholar. The results obtained are that the factors that affect the quality of graduates are: (1) job readiness, (2) skills, and (3) digital service capabilities. Meanwhile, several other factors that need to be made for further studies are factors (1) disciplinary attitude, (2) independence, and (3) academic achievement.
