Impact of Migration on Non-Migrant School Completion Rates and Enrolment in South Africa

South Africa struggles with low secondary school completion rates and this has a negative effect on poverty and inequality. In this study, we examine the relationship between internal migration (international migrants were excluded) and non-migrant educational outcomes (secondary school enrolment and completion rates) in South Africa between 1996 and 2011. We use census data for the years 1996, 2001 and 2011 (at the district and municipal levels) in several linear probability regression models that include the First Difference (FD) and System Generalised Method of Moments (GMM-SYS) with instrumental variables. The 2011 census is the latest available in South Africa now. We find that internal migrants have a positive effect on both enrolment and completion rates of non-migrants. These results vary in intensity depending on the level of education of both internal migrant and non-migrant household heads. These results have implications for the local labour market and for income inequality in South Africa; internal migrants provide positive peer effects that contribute to raising non-migration enrolment and completion. Internal migrants also provide job market competition which influences non-migrants to complete secondary schooling. There is scant empirical evidence on the impact of internal migration on education outcomes in African countries, especially in South Africa. Our paper provides evidence from a country with a history of persistent internal migration. Most prior research has focused on the relationship between immigration and education outcomes in the developed world. We recommend that government improves secondary school quality in rural and urban areas and increase study loans for students at tertiary institutions.

STUDY OF EQUIVALENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM STUDENTS’ SOFT SKILLS LEVEL IN PREPARING TO ENTER THE COMPETITIVE DIGITAL AGE JOB MARKET

Soft skills are critical for learners at Al Ghofur Community Learning Center to develop in order to equip them with the knowledge, attitude, mentality, and abilities necessary to compete and succeed in the labor market. The purpose of this research is to offer an overview of the mastery of soft skills achieved by students enrolled in the B and C Package Equivalence Education Program at Al Ghofur Community Learning Center as they prepare to enter the competitive digital age job market. The method utilized inthis study is descriptive with a qualitative research approach, with the primary objective of defining the students’ soft skills level. The Data respondent consisted of 8 students of the B and C Package Equivalence Education Program, one tutor, and one administrative staff at Al Ghofur Community Learning Center. Data are gathered and retrieved via questionnaires, interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that students' soft skills for work preparedness are still lacking at AlGhofur Community Learning Center, resulting in students' readiness to enter the competitive digital age job market competition

When winners win, and losers lose: are altruistic views on immigration always affordable?

AbstractThe existing literature postulates that individual-level attitudes toward immigration are partly determined via the effect of immigration on the labor market. In particular, the labor market competition hypothesis states that natives should oppose immigrants with similar qualifications because they threaten their jobs. Empirical findings, however, partly contradict this expectation. In this paper, we argue that one needs to evaluate immigration attitudes in a broader context since the impact of immigration should be mediated by actual job market competition. In industrialized countries, the arrival of high-skilled immigrants happens against a background in which economic globalization positively affects the demand for high-skilled labor. Thus, the influx of high-skilled immigrants should rarely increase job market competition. The opposite occurs for low-skilled workers, for which labor market insecurity is enhanced by both economic globalization and immigration. We find some support for our argument using micro-level data from 19 European countries.

Exploring faculty perception on the COVID-19 imposed shift in higher education of Bangladesh: A neoliberal analysis

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, governments all around are producing new policy provisions to mitigate the learning gap. Based on the new policy provision, universities switched to online education because social distancing was necessary to stop community transmission of the virus (Crawford et al., 2020). This study aims to explore how faculties perceive the effect of higher education policy response on Bangladeshi students. The paper identifies cost-sharing approach, disregard of policy context, encouragement of global job market competition, decentralisation of management, digitization of education, and individual responsibility as neoliberal features of emergency response. The data were critically analysed to understand the effect of neoliberal features of the emergency response on the university students of Bangladesh from the faculty perspective. The paper argues that the policy response is failing to address the learning gap of the students. Moreover, the implementation of this policy is generating more challenges for students by strengthening the root of social inequality and hindering social mobility.

A Study of Entrepreneurship Substitute to Job Market in the Context of Bangladesh

Immense competition in job market, competitive exam patterns in getting a job, nepotism etc. all are making a job very tough for an unemployed youth nowadays. Even after getting a job, they find lack of independence, job stress, sub ordinance, tiring working hours, politics too severe to tolerate. Entrepreneurship is the act of creating a business either from the scratch or from already an established one ensuring independence, freedom, decision making power, flexible work hours etc. The study will cover all the problems associated with getting and sustaining in the jobs. Besides, all the positive impacts of entrepreneurship will be included in a broad aspect as it has multi-dimensional activities to perform. The obstacles to facilitate entrepreneurship will also be covered so that future corrective actions can be taken to. On top of that, a comparison will be made between these two to represent an evaluation. The role of regulatory authority will also be focused whereas the attention of mass people will be drawn at length. This study will be beneficial as it will come up with potentiality of a particular sector which will remove the problem of unemployment to a great extent and play a role in the economy of our country.

The actual experience of autonomous learning methods in a technical higher education institution

The article deals with autonomous learning conception which is of high priority in pedagogic science. This theory has passed a rather long evolution, however at present interest in autonomous learning is sweepingly growing and that is stipulated by several reasons – transition to European educational standards, class hours’ reduction, graduates’ competitiveness in job market, life-long learning conception. Special attention is paid to different methods of foreign language autonomous learning that proved to be effective in technical university – making use of electronic information-educational environment "Boomerang", debates, defence of Master thesis in two languages, taking part of technical students’ reports at linguistic conferences. The importance of academic achievement monitoring in autonomous learning is also mentioned. In conclusion it is underlined that autonomous learning does not depreciate the teacher’s role in educational process but the pedagogue’s functions themselves definitely change.

Risk Preferences and Immigration Attitudes: Evidence from Four East Asian Countries

AbstractEconomic interests, such as increased job market competition or tax burden in the host countries, often explain attitudes toward immigration. Some empirical studies that have adopted this economic perspective report, however, that an individual's economic circumstances are not directly linked to his or her attitudes toward immigration, emphasizing that people can have different interpretations even under the same circumstances. We argue that risk preferences (i.e., willingness to take risks) shape personal perceptions about the costs and benefits of immigrant workers in the job market and immigration. Using the 2008 East Asian Social Survey from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, we find that individuals who like to take more risks are more likely to be positive about immigration. Our study indicates the importance of psychological tendency in the formation of native citizens' attitudes toward immigration.

College Graduates with Visual Impairments: A Report on Seeking and Finding Employment

Introduction Career mentoring can help college graduates with legal blindness to address employment barriers. Data on specific employment outcomes and job search experiences for this population can inform job-seeking strategies for students, mentors, and service providers. Methods A longitudinal study evaluated job-seeking activities and employment outcomes for college students with legal blindness, half of whom were randomly assigned to work with a career mentor who was also legally blind and working in the same field. Students reported job search activities and experiences, and those employed reported job details including position, compensation, and satisfaction. Results Students spent a considerable amount of time job seeking, and reported low interviews-to-applications ratios. Trends indicated that students with mentors spent less time and effort in their job searches. Students identified challenges including job market competition, employer bias, and transportation issues. Students who found employment worked in varied fields, often in professional or skilled positions with competitive salaries. Discussion College students with legal blindness can achieve successful employment in competitive positions, but they may require an effortful job search to address well-known employment barriers for this population. Experienced mentors may provide guidance for a more focused and efficient job search. Implications for practitioners Invested time and effort are aspects of job seeking that students can control. Mentors can assist college students with legal blindness on those aspects, freeing time and resources to deal with systemic challenges such as employer attitudes and competition.

Edu‐Cloud: On‐the‐fly employability skills as a service

AbstractTwenty‐first century global job market competition requires Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) university curricula to support both state‐of‐the‐art technical and soft skills learning to improve graduate employment. This necessitates the transformation of the current teaching and learning methodology powered by a social and collaborative platform to provide a social co‐learning environment. This social co‐learning will provide students with opportunities for self‐enrichment while supporting their technical skills and hands‐on needs. The platform must also provide the required lab infrastructure for hands‐on experimentation. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a cloud based platform called Edu‐Cloud. The Edu‐Cloud has been designed to provide automated resource provisioning and perform on‐the‐fly deployment of scalable virtual network functions to stream multimedia content closer to the global learners. This would help to meet the specific learning needs of a group of global interconnected students with similar learning skills and abilities. The benchmarking performance results show that the proposed framework works efficiently while reducing primary network traffic by deploying resources closer to the users and support scalability for a global deployment scenario.

Position of JMC Graduates: A Tracer Study

The linkage between demand and supply of graduates instill a great significance in any study of higher education. The increasing trend of graduates may ultimately make the job market highly competitive. Due to high competition in job market there are high options for employer searching for new recruitment. To the best of study team, limited research has been carried out in higher education and none of the empirical studies have been found with regard to the absorption of the graduates in the job markets. Much of the studies discussed only challenges and policy intervention part. With this context, the status of graduates of JMC (a QAA Certified Institution) needs to be identified. It is widely believed that JMC has helped in building a nucleus of professionals in the related filed in Nepal and abroad. Though up-to-date information regarding the placement of JMC graduates is not available, it can be assumed that the graduates from JMC have been working in the various positions in the field of service, manufacturing, academia, and NGO/INGOs sectors in reputed and well established national and international organizations in the country and abroad. The main objective of this study is to trace out the students who have graduated from JMC as of 2009 to 2013 in various streams such as BBS, BBA, BA, B Sc and B Ed. The survey instrument was adapted from a questionnaire drafted by University Grants Commission Nepal, and it was slightly modified in its layout for the ease of handling. The questionnaire included both close-ended and opened questions. The expansion of higher education has increased the number of graduates entering into job market in Nepal and abroad. Graduates have felt easy to get enrollment in job market after attaining academic program in this campus. Graduates get insight in skills; attitude and knowledge for their job performance as well as improved work efficiency and communication skills after proceeding from this campus. Similarly the graduates have been able to improve their information technology skills and team spirit from the academic program offered by the campus.

Base camp를 이용한 현장실습 활성화에 대한 연구

현재 대학에서 수행하고 있는 대표적인 산학협력 교육은 현장에서 직무능력을 향상시키기 위한 현장실습이다. 현장실습의 목적은 전문성을 훈련할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고 취업시장에서 경쟁력을 높이며 이론과 실무를 연계하는 것이다. 이러한 현장실습은 학생들의 실무능력을 증대하기 위해 진행되고 있지만 현장실습 업체와 참여 학생들의 능력에 따라 차이가 많이 발생한다. 심한 경우, 현장에서의 실습 수행이 어려워 단순작업에 학생들을 투입하는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 현장실습의 문제점으로 인하여 본래의 현장실습의 취지를 달성하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 Base camp를 이용하여 현장실습의 대한 실습능력을 강화시키고 현장실습을 활성화 시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. Most important Industry-Academy cooperation program in university is field placement for increasing ability work. Purpose of field placement are to provide training opportunities and to increase competition in job market. But field placement may vary depending on the size of the industry and the students' ability. In severe cases, some students did not practicing but simple work. So it is difficult to achieve the purpose of practical training. Thus, we propose a method for increasing field training ability and activation field placement using Base camp.

L.A. Race Woman: Charlotta Bass and the Complexities of Black Political Development in Los Angeles

Using her platform as owner and editor of Los Angeles's prominent black newspaper the California Eagle from 1912-1951, L.A. race woman Charlotta Bass was at the center of black political life of the city. This article examines her life and political activism as they offer a lens into the history of black community response to the particular demography, geography, politics and economics of Los Angeles and African American's expectations of what life should be like in the city. While black Angelenos confronted pitched job market competition and familiar white resistance to black advancement, blacks in L.A. did experience a form of refracted racism; they had unprecedented home ownership levels, racist violence was much less common than it was in the South, and the presence of other people of color meant white racism was not solely directed at the black community. But even while they recognized these relatively favorable circumstances, blacks in L.A. were not complacent; rather they used these circumstances to develop unique, aggressive forms of civil rights activism. Access to L.A.'s version of the American Dream was a central goal for black Angelenos. Though conditions and priorities changed over time, African Americans in the city consistently measured their success more by their relative position to white Angelenos than by comparing their condition to blacks elsewhere. They combined ideologies that elsewhere competed, chose multifaceted allies in their struggle and demanded access to opportunities that blacks elsewhere did not expect to enjoy. While popular and scholarly perspectives regularly truncate L.A.'s black history by locating its birth with the Watt's riots of 1965 and circumscribe black history making to such expressions of hopelessness, political struggle like that practiced by Bass and other black Angelenos signals hope as much as it does frustration. Her life offers a path to a richer understanding of the sunshine and noir of black political development in Los Angeles prior to 1965 and helps us to identify the city as a site of historical political resistance.

From Malthusian Frontier to Demographic Steady State: The Concordian Birth Rate, 1635-1993

This study traces changes in birth rate from 1635 to 1993 in rural Concord Massachusetts. The first fertility transition occurred by 1815. The transition paralleled an economic transition from a marketplace economy before American Revolution to a market economy in 1783. Fertility decline prior to 1815 occurred through individual fertility control and other social fertility-limiting controls. The population was premodern agricultural and relatively low income. After 1815 demographic patterns were responsive to macroeconomic and macropolitical processes: a stable long-term birth rate of about 17/1000 but with marked cyclical movements. During settlement phase of 17th century population growth in New England remained fairly stable at about 2.4%. During 18th century until 1815 population pressure on land economic change and move to individualism rather than Puritan utopian communalism were accompanied by a decline in expectation of life at birth an increase in marriage age and migration a in towns and nuclear village fragmentation. Evidence is presented to support pattern of economic decline acting as a push factor to migration and reduced birth rates in towns. After 1815 Concord shifted to a more robust economy and baby boom-baby bust cycle moved in lockstep with 20-25 year Kuznets growth cycles. Three series of annual birth rates were constructed for each year between 1635 and 1993. Birth rate decline was evident during economic depression of 1640s which was precipitated by Puritan Revolution and a halt to immigration between England and New World. Recovery occurred during 1650-55 and then dipped again until financial crisis of 1690s. This rhythm of bust and boom associated with economic stagnation and economic growth occurred until 1970. After 1970 birth rate dropped as baby boomers of 1940s felt effects of competition in job market. Births increased during 1980 Reagan-era economic growth. Possibly this foreshadows the resumption of Kuznet-cycle oscillations around this new and lower level.
