“…Occupationalised niches have been formed in specific business sectors in parts of post-communist Poland that were once German or Austrian (see Klatt et al, 2015;Roberts and Szumlicz, 1995). Fortunately, occupationalised and unregulated regimes will perform equally successfully for employers and young people in conditions of full employment.…”

Explaining Education-to-Work Transitions: Thinking Backwards, Situating Agency and Comparing Countries

This paper argues that explanations must start at the end of young people's education-to-work transitions, with employers' recruitment behaviour and preferences, which then govern the content of and recruitment to preceding education and training. Young people themselves exercise agency: this propels their careers forward biographically, but necessarily consolidates opportunity structures (variously called routes, pathways or trajectories) that have been pre-built from above. It is also argued that ultimately the transition regime in every country, and sometimes in each region and business sector, needs to be treated as a unique case study. However, these regimes can be divided into recognisable types which are most easily identified by starting in an economy and its labour markets. Finally, it follows that attempts which start in earlier life, prior to young people entering the labour market, to modify links between social origins and occupational destinations will invariably fail. Effective interventions can be envisaged only by starting at the end of young people's transitions, then thinking backwards.

“…Consideration of other social actors who directly shape youth experiences of unemployment -employers, the state, the education sector -are only rarely the focus of youth researchers' attention. A study by Klatt, Filip and Grzebyk (2015) of the collaboration between state, industry and education to construct a local school-to-work transition system in southeastern Poland is an exception. Likewise, close analysis of broad social discourses that shape the meaning and significance of youth unemployment is only occasionally apparent -as in an article by Groves, Siu and Ho (2014, 842, 843) that argues for the need to study "the power and networks held by various stake holders involved in debates about youth," and demonstrates how, in the case of Hong Kong, an alliance of elite government, business and academic interests has driven "a process of 'genericization' of middle-class youth … [that] perpetuates a marginalization of the activities of their less privileged counterparts in the public consciousness."…”

The article presents research results on the analysis of green jobs in the European Union countries with respect to selected indicators characterizing the member states. For the empirical analysis a regression model was applied. As a dependent variable a number of jobs in the renewable energy sector in 2012 per million inhabitants of the countries was used. In the linear regression model the explanatory variable was a share of expenditure on R&D in GDP [%]. Studies show that the increase in research and development expenditures have a real, measurable impact on the availability of green jobs in the EU countries. Research results were presented on the background of the strategy “Europe 2020”.
