“…Dvouletý et al (2020) and Marelli and Vakulenko (2016) showed a higher unemployment rate for younger individuals, Dvouletý et al (2020), Lallukka et al (2019), Lim and Lee (2019), Petrakis (2021) and Schioppa and Lupi (2002) for females and Dvouletý et al (2020) for people from ethnic minority groups.

Research background: The employment rate of young individuals in the labour market has considerably decreased in developed countries recently. Due to lower labour capital, skills, and generic and job-specific work experience, youth consider finding suitable job challenging. If they fail to succeed in the labour market soon after graduation, it leads to long-term unemployment, unstable and low-quality jobs, and even social exclusion. Purpose of the article: This paper aims to analyse the unemployment rate of high school-graduated students and the factors impacting this unemployment rate, such as GDP per capita, total unemployment rate, apartment price per square meter and results from state exams. Identifying the determinants affecting youth unemployment is crucial for theoretical knowledge and for policymakers to ensure youth inclusion in the economic mainstream. As a result, society can reduce social and economic costs and avoid structural problems in the future. Methods: Data about 464 Slovak high schools from National Institute for Certified Educational. Data include the graduate unemployment rate for each high school in Slovakia. Furthermore, two logistic regression models have been developed to investigate the impact of selected factors on high school graduates? unemployment rate immediately after graduation and nine months after graduation. Findings & value added: This paper indicates the existence of statistical dependency between unemployment of high school graduates and overall unemployment rate in the region, GDP per capita in the region, quality of high school education and cost of living in the region immediately after graduation. Analysis of the period nine months after graduation has shown the important decline of education quality provided by high schools. To reduce youth unemployment, the state should focus primarily on improving overall unemployment itself by implementing a dual-learning system, simplifying business opportunities, making part-time work available, or introducing lifelong learning to help transform the economy into a knowledge base.

(analítico)En Chile, actualmente la población categorizada como jóvenes que ni estudian ni trabajan (conocidos como nini) asciende a cerca de medio millón de personas, lo que presenta un desafío en la orientación de estrategias que les permitan insertarse en el mercado del trabajo o continuar sus estudios. Esta investigación tiene por finalidad determinar los factores que influyen en la transición de la escolaridad al trabajo en la población de jóvenes chilenos, por medio de modelos probabilísticos a partir de datos representativos a nivel nacional. Los resultados muestran que son determinantes la pobreza, la existencia de menores en el hogar, el género y la paternidad o maternidad adolescente. Se establecen algunas estrategias y se hace hincapié en continuar el estudio considerando la multitud de factores que están involucrados. Palabras clave: Desempleo de los jóvenes; transición a la vida activa; jóvenes; mercado de trabajo.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated youth unemployment and informal work globally (Espuny et al, 2021a;Wesseling, 2021). Governments should promote self-employment as a quick solution to unemployment, complemented by psychological support from educational institutions for entrepreneurial activities (#9, #27, #29, #8) (Alvarenga et al, 2021;Bergmann, Hundt, and Sternberg, 2016;Turner and Gianiodis, 2018).…”

Purpose: This study proposes directions for developing Entrepreneurship Education (EE) based on innovation by identifying and grouping its driving elements. It intends to build entrepreneurial skills and capacities, enabling individuals to create and manage their businesses successfully. Methodology/Approach: This work used the scientific method of Content Analysis to identify and analyse the EE-boosting elements in the literature. Findings: Among this work's theoretical contributions, the theoretical articulation of EE with the Triple Helix sectors—universities, industry, and Government—stands out. These contributions support the advancement of the state of the art and the development of new research. Research Limitation/Implication: Discuss deeper insights into EE elements and their applicability in various educational contexts. Originality/Value of paper: The main contribution of this work was a more efficient interaction between public and private educational institutions, Non-Governmental Organizations, public agencies, and private companies, favouring innovation in the teaching-learning process and the insertion of young people into productive activities.
