This paper seeks to shed light on the current challenges faced by eight selected sub-Saharan African countries, namely Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, in achieving the integration of women into the labour market through education and training. This paper aims to present a diag-nosis of women’s situation in terms of their integration into the labour market. It will focus mainly on the role played by educa-tion and training in attaining gender parity and identify practices that will potentially address the marginalization of women in the labour market.Abstract
Better aligning higher education and the labour market will ensure people have the skills they need to succeed in the increasingly competetive market.
From 2002 up to 2009, the economies of European Union countries went through a skill upgrading, rather than a polarisation between low-skill and high-skill jobs. After 2009, this changed, with declining real wages and a significant increase in the share of workers in low-skill jobs. This assessment evaluates these changes in connection with labour market variables, population densities and the emergence of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
the potential impact of migrant labour on labour market outcomes and government expenditure raises the question of productivity of the migrant labour.
Economists are trying to understand the steady decline of non-college-educated men in the labor market.
Adult migrants in all OECD countries are a diverse group, with different profiles and levels of education. Even if they hold tertiary degrees, they are more likely to have poorer labour market outcomes, including lower earnings. Participation in the labour market is more difficult for foreign-born adults who arrived at a later age and acquired their qualifications in another country. It is important that host countries design and implement policies that will help immigrants improve their chances in their labour market, benefitting both the person and the country.
We find that FISs outperform FBE immigrants by a substantial margin and underperform CBE individuals graduating from similar academic programs by a relatively modest margin. We also find some limited evidence, particularly among women, of a deterioration in FIS outcomes through the 2000s relative to both comparison groups. We argue that this deterioration is consistent with a quality tradeoff as postsecondary institutions and governments have reached deeper into international student pools to meet their demands for students and new immigrants without a commensurate increase in their supply.
The present study introduces a systemic model that demonstrates a description of the relationship between the labour-market and vocational education from the perspective of systemic theory.
Lagging skill demand increases risks of skill mismatch.

While vocational and skills training programs have had mixed results, those that included practical experience, soft-skills training, and job referrals often increased the hours worked and earnings of people who were targeted. Vocational training programs often helped trainees acquire hard skills and certify and communicate those skills. The policy note examines the results of 28 randomized evaluations of apprenticeships and vocational training programs. While vocational and skills training programs have had mixed results, programs that included practical experience, soft-skills training, and job referrals often increased the number of hours worked and earnings of those who were targeted. Vocational training programs often assisted trainees in acquiring hard skills, as well as certifying and communicating those skills to employers.
This policy brief highlights how youth, especially women, are being severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis is likely to be particularly severe for youth across three dimensions: (1) disruptions to education, training and work-based learning; (2) increased difficulties for young jobseekers and new labour market entrants; and (3) job and income losses, along with deteriorating quality of employment. The brief calls for urgent, comprehensive and targeted policy responses to the global pandemic.
From 2010 to 2015, over 1.3 million students graduated with a postsecondary degree in Canada and entered the workforce. Their earnings outcomes in the following years were closely related to their field of study, the degree they obtained, the age at which they graduated and their gender.
From 2020, universities will receive a certain amount of government funding based on four performance measures: student drop-out rates; participation of Indigenous, lower socioeconomic status and regional and remote students; student satisfaction with the university experience; and employment .
A lo largo de los años, los avances tecnolĂłgicos han producido cambios fundamentales en el mercado laboral, algunas profesiones están desapareciendo, otras se están creando y la mayorĂa se está transformado. Esto implica que el desarrollo de habilidades laborales tambiĂ©n se está transformado, tanto por el lado de la oferta como de la demanda. En este proceso, los desencuentros entre trabajadores y el sector productivo se intensifican.
This annual edition of Labour Force Statistics provides detailed statistics on labour force, employment and unemployment, broken down by gender, as well as unemployment duration, employment status, employment by sector of activity and part-time employment. It also contains participation and unemployment rates by gender and detailed age groups as well as comparative tables for the main components of the labour force.
Labour force participation, unemployment, full-time and part-time work, and real wages for workers in Canada from 1946 to 2015.
This paper analyses the individual and socio-demographic factors behind the low employment rate of refugees compared to individuals born in the EU but also compared to other migrants. It complements the 2016 Employment and Social Developments Review where a chapter was dedicated to the labour market and social integration of refugees in the EU.
The benefits to the individual and the country won’t be realized unless the skills students acquire are aligned with the present and future needs of the labour market
Young people have been hit hard by the economic downturn with the EU youth unemployment rate reaching 20%. This review summarises messages from 33 national articles on this theme, linking them to policy developments, studies and data. It details the European and national contexts before examining measures to promote youth employment. These cover education, training, labour market and benefit policies, as well as measures to address problematic aspects and labour market actors’ roles. Following this, final conclusions are drawn.
