經濟全球化的發展，勞動市場產生結構性的變化，勞動市場趨於彈性化，使非典型工作增加，普遍低薪的情形讓青年較上一代面臨更大的就業風險，也迫使他們必須改變觀念和行為來因應大環境的變遷。青年依照自己的處境與需要，重新調整並找出適合自己的轉銜路徑，度假打工成為現今台灣青年的新選擇。 度假打工對現今青年的生涯規劃存在著不可忽視的影響力，本研究旨在探討為何青年願意放下國內的工作赴海外度假打工？其回國後之就業選擇是否產生變化？度假打工期間的個人成長是否增加其在職場的競爭力，符合企業對人才的需求？ 本研究採取立意抽樣及滾雪球抽樣，針對度假打工回國至少一年以上者進行深入訪談。發現度假打工的動機包括：想離開台灣日益惡化的就業環境、對工作感到倦怠、看不到工作的未來發展性，以及不清楚人生志向。從青年回國後的求職及就業狀況，發現他們在度假打工期間累積的能力，如溝通能力、抗壓性與挫折忍受度、解決問題及應變能力、國際接軌能力、學習意願高，都是現今企業所重視的，對於他們重新投入職場以及職涯發展具有深遠影響。 / Economic globalization has been changing the labor market enormously in terms of the structure and flexibility. Thus the increase of atypical employment is one of the main causes of deteriorating labor market and low-paid jobs. The youth of today face higher employment risk and they are forced to change their employment behavior and aspirations in response to circumstantial vicissitude. The youth try to find out the road which is suitable to them. In recent years, working holiday has become the new choice among young people in exploring their career pursuit. The influence of working holiday in youth’s career planning cannot be ignored. There are three issues this study focused on. Firstly, why the youth in Taiwan resign their job and go oversea for working holiday? Secondly, will the youth’s career selection change after they come back? Lastly, during the working holiday, will the youth’s personal ability get strengthened as a result of working holiday experience and that capability in turn increases their competitiveness in labor market? By Purposive Sampling and Snowball sampling, the target groups who had come back at least one year are chosen and are conducted in-depth interviews. We found out that their motivation to undertake working holiday includes the following: getting away from deteriorated labor market of Taiwan, job burnout, pessimism for the future career development, and lost purpose in their life. As to the impact of working holiday, the findings show that the experience of working holiday will have long term impact on the youth’s future career development, such as communication skills, stress resistant ability, problem-solving capability, global adaptability, and high willingness to learn.

This project addresses the integration of a career and technical (vocational) construction curriculum with academic curriculum. Career and technical (vocational) curriculum in the past has been developed to address specific content. This construction curriculum inegrates inherent academic aspects.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka minimilöners effekter på ungdomssysselsättning inom Europeiska unionen (EU). De åldrar som undersöks är ungdomar (15–24), vilket vidare delas in i tonåringar (15–19) och unga vuxna (20–24). Som metod används panelregressioner med fasta effekter för 17 EU-medlemsländer (inklusive Storbritannien) med lagstadgade minimilöner under perioden 2000 till 2018. Vi finner att minimilöner har signifikanta negativa effekter på ungdomssysselsättning inom EU och att dessa effekter är mer kraftfulla för tonåringar än för unga vuxna. Med hänsyn till resultatet drar vi slutsatsen att minimilöner inom EU bör handskas med försiktighet eftersom de kan leda till mindre sysselsättning bland ungdomar. / The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of minimum wages on youth employment in the European Union (EU). The main study group is youths between 15-24 which is then further divided into teenagers (15–19) and young adults (20-24). We employ panel regression methods with fixed effects for 17 EU countries (including the UK) that have statutory minimum wages during the period 2000 to 2018. We find that minimum wages have significant negative employment effects for youths in the EU and that the effects are stronger for teenagers compared to young adults. We reach a conclusion that minimum wage policies in EU countries should be handled with caution as they can lead to lower youth employment.

The main aims of the thesis is to explore the situation and awareness of youth on labour market, to evaluate existing political instruments and to suggest a recommendation for the most effective intrument to makte the situation better. I follow these aims by executing a secondary data analysis, an expert interviews with workers of IPS in Central Bohemia, Regional labour office in Příbram and VÚPSV, furthermore I follow these aims by my own survey within 5 chosen high schools in Central Bohemia. The thesis focuses on exploration of the issue from perspective of future graduates on labour market, as well as the perspective of IPS workers (as the main stakeholder), who actively works with unemployed youth or future graduates on daily basis. According to the research I concluded, that the most effective instrument for the chosen group is consultation, which is provided mainly by the IPS workers. There are various types of consultation in the region and therefore various levels of future graduates awareness. The consultation should by unified in every Central Bohemia region. To make this possible, it is needed to create good working conditions to the IPS workers. After the reform of labour offices the conditions are not very satisfiing due to personal changes, resposibility changes and technological...

Thesis (MTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019. / A socio-economic problem presently facing South Africa is the rate of youth unemployment, which is among the highest in the world. The South African Government has been involved in a number of initiatives, together with the advancement of a labour-intensive Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in order to reduce unemployment and poverty. The EPWP was initiated in 2004 with the aim to place the jobless into productive work in the public sector social services where these EPWP beneficiaries are provided with relevant training and transfer of appropriate skills. However, the EPWP only creates temporary work opportunities that have limited influence on the lives of the beneficiaries. The main objective of the study was to examine the performance of the Youth Work Project (YWP) as an EPWP in a selected department of the Western Cape Provincial Government in order to determine its sustainability of job creation. The secondary aims of the study were to explain the process of the YWP as implemented through the EPWP by a selected department of the Western Cape Provincial Government. A third objective was to examine whether the Public Works employment opportunities enhance subsequent employability of participants once they exit this programme. Fourthly, recommendations was forwarded as to how best the EPWP can be used as a tool for helping unemployed youth with a permanent work opportunity. The sample frame computed of thirteen (13) individuals, therefore purposive sampling was considered the most suitable technique to use in this study. The semistructured interviews were conducted with five (5) management officials responsible for the EPWP and unstructured questionnaires were administered to eight (8) available EPWP beneficiaries placed at a selected department of the Western Cape Provincial Government.
