“…The analysis of the LFS allows us to observe the intergenerational transmission of the failure or success of young people in relation to the labor market: young people whose parents (father) have a lower education level and who come from large families have a higher risk of being NEETs. The results of our analysis are in agreement with other studies on the European level that examined the effect of both maternal and paternal employment on the success or failure of their children in the labor market (Berloffa et al, 2015;Cemalcilar et al, 2019;Kraaykamp et al, 2019;McDowell, 2014). Controlling for other variables (education, social environment), researchers found that the effect of parental employment (both mother and father) increases the likelihood of their sons and daughters getting a job.…”

This study investigates the connection between the reasons why some young people end their education without attaining a university degree and the effect of this decision on the probability of becoming a NEET in a set of European countries. Young people face the highest degree of disadvantage in the Mediterranean and East European countries, whereas in Continental European countries the school-to-work transition is smooth. We use the ad hoc module of the 2016 Labour Force Survey (LFS) and focus on young people aged 15 to 24. Our analysis reveals a positive relationship between the decision to drop out of education for health or family reasons and the probability of becoming a NEET. Conversely, when the reason for not completing university education is the desire to start working, and when the individuals who dropped out of university education gathered work experience during this period, the probability of becoming a NEET decreases significantly.

“…Vzhledem ke zvyšování celkové vzdělanostní úrovně ve společnosti, zejména žen, by se proto dalo předpokládat postupné vyrovnávání genderových rozdílů v pracovních hodnotách. Konzistentně s tím byl nedávno zjištěn slabší vliv mezigeneračního přenosu vnímání důležitosti (centrality) práce v životě žen oproti mužům v některých evropských zemích (Cemalcilar et al 2019). Obě pohlaví se již během dospívání liší také v tom, co považují na své budoucí práci za důležité.…”

This paper deals with work values as an important factor in individual career decisions. It relies on data from the PIAAC survey and the follow-up SKILLS II survey. Using a sample of Czech men and women 20–45 years old, we examine the factors that affect the formation of orientations to work as compared with family, and the values of high salary and career progress as compared with intrinsic enjoyment of work. Our results show the significant positive influence of family background for men and of higher education, especially for women, on an orientation to a job and to enjoyment of its contents. The orientation of men toward achieving high earnings is strengthened by the need to ensure income for their families, especially raising children, while for women, work centrality and perceived career importance increases after long periods of unemployment. The results show the contribution of high educational achievement to closing the gaps between the work-family orientations of men and women, but also a return to traditional gender roles during periods of childcare. In the conclusion we indicate directions for further research to focus on the different consequences of experiences with unemployment for men and women and on the role of cognitive skills in work values that are not always analogically related to formal education.

“…Finally, this study was controlled for individual attitudes towards work. Existing research has demonstrated that work values predict various work-related decisions, such as career choices or job selection [51]. Thus, an index that took the average of the answers (strongly agree to strongly disagree) to the following statements was created: "To fully develop your talents you need to have a job," "It's humiliating to receive money without having to work," "Work is a duty towards society," and "Work should always come first even if it means less spare time.…”

There Is No Place like Home! How Willing Are Young Adults to Move to Find a Job?

The European Union (EU) has undergone significant economic crises in recent years. Therein, young people were amongst the hardest hit groups, with youth unemployment rising as high as 50% in some member states. Particularly high rates of youth unemployment were often observed in rural areas, where labour market supply in relation to demand were notably divergent. One of the core pillars of the EU’s agenda is to tackle the persistent problem of youth unemployment. Since the recent crisis, this has been via the “Youth on the Move” initiative, which involves the promotion of intra- and international mobility of young adults in order to gain access to job opportunities. However, what has received little attention so far is the question of what the general willingness of young adults to move is like, and to what extent this varies, for example, depending upon the area they live in. This paper therefore asks if rural youth differ from youth in urban areas in relation to their willingness to move for a job within their country or to another country. Moreover, what influences the general willingness to be mobile? Based on the Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship (CUPESSE) Survey, which includes data on 18–35-year-olds in a sample of 11 European countries, it is shown that living in a rural area is strongly associated with the willingness to move. Furthermore, it shows that rural youth are more willing to move within the country but less willing to move to another country. Based on the presentation of the various factors, which promote or curb mobility readiness, the results make it clear that the success of EU initiatives depends on the preferences and willingness of the target group in question.
