“…Drawing on microdata from round 1 to 9 of the European Social Survey (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018), enriched with macro indicators also coming from an expert survey (Traini, 2019), this analysis makes a step further including all the relevant variables at the micro and macro level that rarely have been controlled for. Moreover, the ED link measured here is the additional and independent effect exerted by educational qualifications beyond the effect of years of education.…”

“…To integrate the ESS data with information on education system characteristics from a previous expert survey (Traini, 2019), the analytical sample targeted respondents born between 1973 and 1995. 26 In addition, the sample selection ignored respondents who obtained their educational qualification in another country, as well as those working in family businesses and the self-employed.…”

“…The research question addressed in this paper is: does the stratification of education systems moderate the direct effect of social backgrounds on destinations? This question is investigated using individual data from round 1 to 5 (2002-2010) of the European Social Survey (ESS) integrated with macro indicators on education systems (Barro and Lee, 2013;Traini, 2019). Methodologically, a two-step model is implemented and its results are assessed against several model specifications, as well as sample selections.…”

“…The latter records at which age students are separated for the first time into different schools or different curricula within schools.28 The former reports the extent to which this first allocation is associated with student ability, and ranges from 0 "not at all based on student ability" to 100 "completely based on ability". For more information on the expert survey, see the detailed description reported inTraini (2019). Appenidx A also includes the original questionnaire.Along with the two dimensions of the stratification of education systems (the extent to which the first selection is based on student ability and the age of first selection), the equation also controlled for educational expansion.…”

The thesis investigates whether the stratification of education systems moderates the OED associations. The first empirical article (Chapter 2) is a replication study that shows that the most used indicator of the stratification of education systems (i.e., the index of tracking (Bol and van de Werfhorst, 2013)) is not positively (statistically significantly) associated with either social background inequality in educational attainment or educational gradient in occupational attainment. Besides not supporting the existence of a trade-off between labour market allocation and equality of educational opportunity, the unsuccessful predictive validity test of the index of tracking makes it clear that this strand of research needs new theoretically grounded indicators to measure the stratification of education systems. This thesis’ contribution is to address these requests. First, I theoretically identify the dimensions of the stratification of education systems that are relevant when it comes to investigating the OED associations: the age of first selection, and the extent to which the first selection is based on students’ ability. Second, I collect these two country-level indicators through expert judgements by questioning more than 200 experts who provided information on the education systems’ characteristics of 34 countries. Third, by linking these country-level data to the European Social Survey (ESS), I test whether the two dimensions of the stratification of education systems moderate a) social background inequality in educational attainment (Chapter 3), b) educational gradient in occupational attainment (Chapter 4), and c) the direct effect of social background on occupational attainment (Chapter 5).

Introduction. Ensuring the consistency of regional vocational education systems with the labor markets demands is a nationwide task of strategic importance. It causes the development of methodological tools instrumental in a quick and objective assessment of the current state of regional educational systems in the context of their interaction with the region’s labor markets. The aim of the article is to develop indicators of the relationship between the system of vocational education and the labor market and to test the calculation of these indicators in the Russian regions. Materials and Methods. The research methodology includes substantiation, development and formalization of indicators of the interrelation between the education system and the labor market. The first indicator characterizes the potential of the regional vocational education system to provide places for the admission of its own graduates of the 9th and 11th grades of schools. The second indicator assesses the supply of the regional labor market with graduates of the regional system of vocational education. To calculate the proposed indicators, official statistical reporting data are used. Results. In the course of research, using statistical data for 2018–2020, the proposed indicators were calculated for all Russian regions. Based on the cluster analysis of the indicators calculated values, a typology of Russian regions was made, during which five types of stable regions associations with homogeneous characteristics were identified. The strengths and weaknesses of regional educational systems are identified, including in the context of their interaction with the region’s labor markets. Discussion and Сonclusion. The developed indicators allowed to quickly assess the potential of the regions, on the one hand, to provide school graduates with vocational education, and on the other hand, to meet the economy staffing needs by graduates of universities and vocational educational organizations. The results of the study are of undoubted practical significance and will be useful to executive authority in developing recommendations for bringing education systems in line with regional development priorities, strengthening and developing regional educational systems.
