The underemployment of B.C. college graduatesCram, Daniel William 11 1900 (has links)
Underemployment is a much discussed but little researched topic. The thesis begins
with a broad discussion of the theory and methodology underlying the recent research on
underemployment. It then proceeds to a quantitative analysis of underemployment using data
from the 1995 follow-up of B.C. college leavers from vocational, technical and two-year
academic university transfer programs. The study finds that, overall, one third of B.C. college
leavers were employed in jobs that did not require the level of education that they had attained.
As expected, there were significant differences by field of study and subsequent occupation.
The rate of underemployment among students from academic programs was eight times the
rate of underemployment for students from vocational programs and twice that of students
from career/technical programs. Additionally, almost a third of all college leavers were
employed in Sales and Service occupations and roughly two-thirds of those were
underemployed. Labour market segmentation theory provides the most useful theoretical
explanation for these findings. The markedly uneven rates of underemployment experienced by
college leavers in the core and peripheral sectors support the labour market segmentation
perspective. In conclusion, underemployment is a useful, though limited construct. Such a
measure should only be used in conjunction with other measures of employment outcomes like
unemployment, salary and full/part-time employment status.

Factors influencing employability of technical education graduates in MalawiThindwa, Fanny January 2016 (has links)
Thesis presented in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of
Management (in the field of Public Sector Monitoring and
Evaluation) to the Faculty of Commerce, Law, and Management,
University of the Witwatersrand
March 2016 / Employment is a critical factor in development, general, and specifically social
development. All else constant, education is an important precursor to employment.
Besides university or academic learning that feeds into the white collar or office jobs;
technical, entrepreneurial, and vocational training and education although feeding
mostly into the pink collar or artisan jobs is an important aspect of education and,
therefore, employability. Further, entrepreneurial and related training and education
has the potential to create employment. However, little has been written on factors that
positively influence employability of technical education graduates. Obviously, one
would like to know if there is match between industrial needs and the specialisation of
the graduates.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate factors influencing employability of
technical education graduates in Malawi. The study attempted four research questions,
three targeting employees (who are technical education graduates) and these had
hypothesis. The fourth research question targeted employers and had a proposition on
needs of companies. We reviewed literature to understand the research problem,
develop theoretical framework and conceptualise our research. Two theories, theory
of demand and supply of labour, and capability approach were employed.
Of the three strategies; qualitative, quantitative and mixed, a quantitative strategy
using a cross sectional design from a sample of 81 technical education graduates and
30 companies was employed. The results show no significant relationship between
employability and the explanatory variables of age, gender, education attainment and
skills. A significant relationship (p=0.018) was found between first job of graduates
in relation to the field of study, meaning with the right education and the right job
match, graduates were more employable. In addition, descriptive statistics indicate a
strong relationship for all variables as per the research questions. Technical skills and
education attainment seem to affect the duration taken to gain employment. The
majority of the graduates were employed in professions that matched their training.
Companies have preferences in recruiting graduates. The findings further show that,
curriculum, funding and multiple qualifications need harmonisation for effective
TVET provision. / MT2016

University graduates and the job search in urban China : an examination of the culture of personal advancementLiu, Dian, 刘電 January 2014 (has links)
In China‘s expanded higher education, middle and upper middle class students continue to outpace those from less privileged backgrounds not only in job access but also occupational attainment. Literature depends mainly on social capital theory, attributing the advantages of middle class students in the graduate labour market to their higher status contacts and vaster social networks. Yet, literature has largely ignored the influence of growing market mechanisms in the graduate labour market, as well as the agency of individual job seekers.
Inspired by cultural capital theory, this study is devoted to understanding the cultural processes that underlie individual advancement in a stratified society. Emphasizing the influences of cultural capital in the process and outcome of job searching, this study argues that the advantage of middle class students during job search is determined not only by the higher status contacts embedded in their family social network, but by the tight link between parental involvement, accepted institutional policies and practices, and ideal notions of personhood, i.e., a highly synthesized cultural advancement system.
Between January and June, 2012, 60 fourth-year students from two universities in Wuhan were interviewed. Drawing upon these data, it is found that, firstly, the family cultivated certain qualities at the early stage before the student entered higher education. What‘s more, middle class parents always keep their children on the right track of the ‘standard middle class career path‘, and sometimes even act in a more assertive role to ‗correct‘ students‘ derailed inclinations. However, the parents of underprivileged students know little about campus life and the job searching experiences of their children.
Secondly, the ―excellence‖ emphasized in school discourse aligns with middle class values. Middle class students are very familiar with the cultural codes and manners required to obtain this ―excellence.‖ Additionally, the evaluation criteria and award mechanisms prevailing on campus also favor the performance of middle class students. Their awards, usually in the form of certificates, prizes or titles, are directly interpreted into higher employability during their job search, contributing to greater opportunities of the middle class during their job search.
And thirdly, shaped by their socialization both at home and school, middle class students manage to accumulate a whole set of class-based dispositions towards control and success while underprivileged students fail to do so. Guided by these dispositions, middle class students employ purposeful strategies and demeanours on campus in order to cater to the labour market‘s requirements.
The findings suggest that social reproduction during job search is due to the mixed functioning of the cultural advancement system, taking into consideration the negotiation and interaction between the contextual features, i.e., the gradually implemented market mechanism, inadequate legal enforcement, and guanxi as a cultural psychology. This study suggests that the cultural advancement system could be extended through more scholarly thesis to explain how the middle class continue to pull ahead of lower classes, thus perpetuating class inequality in transitional China. / published_or_final_version / Education / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Network, discipline and income : the social mobility of Ontario university graduatesShecter, Marna A. January 1992 (has links)
This thesis examines the link between background factors to educational attainment, discipline choice, how first job was found and income at that first job. Findings are based on results of a panel study of Ontario high school students. Using human capital theory and comparing and contrasting it with the radical and credentialist arguments, I create a model to further specify the contributing factors to the already well established link between education and jobs. The results produced from the interactive causal model indicate that past research has neglected certain variables while confounding others. Specifically, while the findings are generally consistent with other empirical work, they suggest that (i) education should be treated as a more differentiated variable, (ii) the role of networks in job search behaviour should be included, (iii) gender differences should be considered and, (iv) that non additive models will often provide a better description of the data. Finally, it is also suggested that future work explore the possibility that the relationship between job search behaviour and discipline choice can best be described using a non-recursive causal model.
