Labour market, education and the specific youth programs: study of perception in Toledo - Spain

Abstract

In the last years, a multitude of training actions aimed at the improvement of professional qualifications and the construction of bridges between education and the labor market have been implemented. This cross-sectional perception study with questionnaire design ad hoc is not intended to be representative of young people at the state level but can serve as a thermometer for the current situation. The most relevant results present a group with higher scores on the frequency of problems related to their socioeconomic situations and labor problems and a perception of lower level of satisfaction with the family and with their economic situation. Despite the great investment efforts for training and employment-oriented qualification according to ISCED level 0-3, the data do not augur great steps in improving the transitions to the labor market of young people who did not complete secondary school neither are employed.

Education Is an Important Factor of Human Capital Development in Rural Territories

“…As a result, the level of education is not always correlated with income, and the economy faces both unemployment and lack of specialists in certain professions (categories), which is caused (besides demographic processes) either by insufficient education (low level of formed competencies) or its excessiveness (unclaimed unique knowledge and other human capital attributes) [7]. As for the problem of labour shortage, some scholars link it to such negative circumstances as (1) population ageing in many (especially developed) countries, (2) lower growth rate of working-age population, (3) onset of certain phases of business cycle (revival, recovery), when rapidly growing economy requires an adequate expansion of labour force, (4) transition of scientific and technological progress to a fundamentally new quality, which requires appropriate features of human capital, (5) formation of a new (under the influence of various challenges) economic structure, with which the existing composition of human capital enters into a noticeable resonance [8]. The solution to this problem could be a reciprocal (equally rapid) transformation of the education system, taking into account all the changes taking place in the economy and society.…”

Influence Of Gender And Place Of Residence On Education And Employment Accessibility

“…Other scholars talk about employment problems for foster children (Häggman-Laitila, Salokekkilä, & Karki, 2019) or for people with disabilities (Carter, Blustein, Bumble, Harvey, Henderson, & McMillan, 2019). Third researchers note that the recent economic crisis has intensified the problem of job creation for young people (López, Ytarte, & Ramiro, 2020).…”

Accessibility Of Social Rights: Analysis Of Perceptions Of Young People

“…Other researchers say about employment problems arising in pupils from foster families (Häggman-Laitila, Salokekkilä, & Karki, 2019). Scientists note that the recent economic crisis has intensified the problem of providing young people with work (López, Ytarte, & Ramiro, 2020).…”
