“…A detailed reading of the advertisements indicated that much of the recruiting for clerical employees centered primarily on finding attractive, personable young women to fill these positions, regardless of task-related abilities. Thus more mature women experienced considerable difficulty in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, as jobs generally open to women were also often restricted to younger applicants (Lee & Hsin, 2004). The negative significant marginal effects for managers and scientists indicate that these more male-dominated positions are also less likely to have upper age restrictions.…”

“…Similarly, Loewenstein and Spletzer's (1998) study of NLSY indicates that non-employer financed training does not yield a positive wage return. The results from a government co-financed training program in Taiwan also suggest that when firms only pay a small part of the training investment and when the decision to participate in the training program is largely taken by the individual him/herself, the outcome in terms of wage growth is less encouraging (Lee and Hsin, 2004). In this particular study, the employers initiated the training in only 15% of the cases and the subsequent wage returns were negative.…”

“…Still, the majority (42.2%) would not be willing to pay any of the costs and it is conceivable to foresee even higher figures if the questionnaire had focused on company-based training only. More encouraging numbers of the willingness of individuals to finance their own training is presented in Lee and Hsin (2004), where certification substantially increased the costs borne by the trainee. In their study, the individuals financed the training in 35% of the cases when the training led to a certification compared with, for instance, managerial training (8%), computer-related training (18.5%), and professional/technical training (11.4%).…”

“…El desempleo y el infraempleo, en este contexto, suelen requerir de los individuos la adopción de decisiones y el cambio de algunas de estas actitudes para superar tal situación. Entre tales actitudes hacia el mercado de trabajo, destacamos aquellas que son ampliamente reconocidas en la literatura por su contribución a la empleabilidad de la población activa: apertura a la movilidad geográfica (Gibson, 2005;Hanisch, 1999;Mcquaid, Greig y Adams, 2001) y ocupacional (Moscarini y Thomsson, 2007;Subrama-nian, 2008), compromiso con la formación (Lazarus y Folkman, 1984;Lee y Hsin, 2004;Sanders y de Grip, 2004), inclinación a combinar empleos múltiples a tiempo parcial (Bauder, 2006;Felfe et al, 2008;Hanisch, 1999), predisposición al empleo temporal (De Cuyper et al, 2008;Felfe et al, 2008;Yeh, Ko, Chang y Chen, 2007), aceptación del infraempleo (Bauder, 2006;Hanisch, 1999;Liem, 1992), o disposición a crear un negocio propio (Felfe et al, 2008; Galao Baptista y Vidigal da Silva, 2004). Hanisch (1999) destaca, en primer lugar, la importancia de la reubicación geográfica (migración entre provincias y entre países) como factor que condiciona la empleabilidad del individuo.…”

“…La literatura sobre capital humano ha destacado ampliamente el papel de la formación como factor que mejora la emple-abilidad de la población activa y, más particularmente, las oportunidades de encontrar empleo tras estar en situación de paro (Lee y Hsin, 2004), así como de lograr la empleabilidad en otros oficios y facilitar la movilidad ocupacional (Lazarus y Folkman, 1984;Sanders y de Grip, 2004). No sorprende entonces que aquellos empleados que tienen la voluntad de permanecer como un recurso atractivo en el mercado laboral, de mejorar su empleabilidad o de incrementar el salario percibido, muestren una actitud favorable hacia la formación y el reciclaje, comprometiéndose en distintas actividades formativas (Sanders y de Grip, 2004).…”
