Employment Of Young People Research Articles

Regional aspects of youth labor employment

The article addresses the issues of youth employment and factors affecting the success of employment. Based on official statistics, unemployment rates are compared by age groups in the federal districts ofRussia. The analysis of the situation inMoscowand in the regions of theFar Eastrevealed the most vulnerable in terms of employment group of the population – from 15 to 29 years. According to the results of their own sociological research carried out in the metropolitan metropolis, there are presented: channels for finding vacancies, reasons that impede the employment of young people, difficulties in communicating directly with employers, and willingness to retrain. The greatest problems in the employment of young people (including graduates of universities and colleges) are the lack of necessary experience and an appropriate level of education. It is revealed that the most effective ways of finding jobs for young people are special sites on the Internet and contacting the city employment service. The structure of young unemployed by level of education in the Russian macro-regions is considered. Comparison of the situation in the regions of the Far East and inMoscowshowed the presence of similar problems, including an oversupply of trained specialists in the professions lawyer, economist, manager. The imbalance between the needs of the labor market and the supply of young labor requires decision-making at the federal and regional levels.

Social mobility: The potential of a genealogical approach

This article highlights the potential of taking a genealogical approach to researching social mobility based on empirical insights generated from a qualitative case study in a secondary school located in the South East of England. The study involved interviews with 42 students and the data lead to a deeper understanding of the role of families in inter‐ and intra‐generational social movement. We begin by highlighting some limitations in existing research on social mobility. Next, the role of households and families in conditioning an individual's identity, dispositions, aspirations and choices is emphasised. We then present findings from the analysis of 42 genealogical work histories over three generations and explore the role of education and family background in shaping young people's employment aspirations. We argue that education has had little impact on overall mobility rates and suggest that whilst education has a significant role in mediating social mobility, the importance of family context should not be overlooked.

The emerging of employment gap in the Malaysian construction industry

Employment of young people is a big issue in the Malaysian construction industry. This is a common phenomenon not only in Malaysia but affected most developed and developing countries around the world. Sufficient workers are needed to cater to the robustness of the construction sector and to sustain the productivity that will boost the development demand. However, young people had difficulties to find decent employment in this industry due to lack of experience and skills among young people and some employer are more likely to hire foreign workers. The aim of this study is to examine the emerging of skill gaps in the Malaysian construction industry. The methodology adapted for this study comprise of primary and secondary data collection. The primary data had been collected from the questionnaire surveys on the professional within the construction industry. The data then were analyzed using the percentage score and the diagram such as bar chart had been used to visualize the results from the analysis. While, secondary data collected through literature review to gather information and important views from previous studies. The findings reveal that the construction industry prefer more than 30 years old skilled workers. Eventhough, the jobs could be filled by young people, but somehow, some barriers such as high risk, low wages, hard work and availability of foreign workers had distracted the involvement of young people in the construction industry.

Socioeconomic and Management Aspects of the System of Vocational Guidance for Learners with Disabilities

Of significant importance for the Russian economic system is the generalization and application of best practices in the area of vocational guidance and employment of young people with special educational needs.

Organic agriculture in Africa: A source of innovation for agricultural development

Version francaise de l'article In Africa, official statistics contain little data on organic agriculture, even though its products are increasingly available on local and export markets. African consumer demand is growing, providing a dynamic economic opportunity. Today, there is no doubt that organic agriculture is making an important contribution to the agro-ecological transition process underway in Africa. It reduces the adverse environmental and health impacts of agriculture, particularly because it uses no synthetic chemical inputs. It improves the resilience of agricultural systems. Under certain conditions, its specific techniques can increase agricultural productivity, even if its yields are on average lower than those in conventional agriculture. Organic systems are labour-intensive, and as such can be a source of employment for young people in rural areas. Some scientific studies and the initiatives undertaken by many local actors confirm the importance of organic agriculture in this continent. Agricultural research now needs to support its emergence, in a context in which very few studies have so far been conducted on this subject. To ensure these fledgling initiatives develop, research could also contribute to appropriate public policy making at different levels.

Tehničko-tehnološke karakteristike pogona za proizvodnju sira sa dodatom vrednošću na registrovanim poljoprivrednim gazdinstvima u Vojvodini

This paper presents the technical and technological characteristics of buildings, regarding milk production plants, which adapting, and equipping was funded by the Provincial Secretariat for Agriculture AP Vojvodina (60%) and by their own funds (40%) in the period 2013-2016. Most beneficiaries belong to the category of farmers who are additionally financially supported, and who have been awarded additional points because they are: under the age of 40, women as farm holders or farmers working in difficult working conditions. Various models of small plants, facilities for the milk (cow, goat and sheep) processing into cheese on households (production of fresh cheese, soft cheese and semi-hard cheese), as well as larger plants for production and processing at the level of Sole Proprietorship facility are described. In this way, conditions for the added value cheese production and expansion of assortments, along with better sales and higher economic profit are provided. Many producers are working on their livestock count increase because of higher demands in raw milk, whereas some, in addition to their milk, purchase milk from households in their neighborhood, which also affects livestock development. Some producers, due to higher economic profit in processing, stopped selling milk to large milk plants and started processing milk themselves. In this way, small producers have become more competitive on the market, and more economically viable. This project can be an example of a good strategy for better employment of young people in rural areas.

КОНСТИТУЦІЙНЕ ПРАВО ЛЮДИНИ НА ПРАЦЮ: ПРОБЛЕМНІ АСПЕКТИ ПРАЦЕВЛАШТУВАННЯ МОЛОДІ

The article is devoted to the legal nature of the right to work as one of the most important human rights. The legislative definition and realization of the right of youth to the first job in Ukraine is analyzed. The analysis of the youth segment of the labor market in Ukraine is quite disappointing: it is difficult for graduates of higher education institutions to find their first job without work experience, which leads to the fact that almost half of young professionals do not work in their specialty. Moreover, the analysis of the current labor legislation and the legislation regulating the legal status of youth in Ukraine allows us to conclude that today the country does not have a single system of regulations that does not allow for effective youth employment. The number of programs, decrees, resolutions, and separate laws on youth policy adopted in recent years does not significantly affect the legal status of young people. As a result, there is no mechanism for implementing a number of labor standards, especially in the field of youth employment. According to the authors, it is advisable to introduce innovations designed to help overcome a number of existing problems in the field of youth employment, namely the creation of an effective policy to support young people in finding their first job by the state and ensuring communication between higher education institutions and employers. In order to ensure effective employment of young people it is necessary to form a package of laws and regulations that provide training for workers and professionals in accordance with the needs of the workforce, their guaranteed employment, maintaining the first job for at least two years, creating favorable conditions for selfemployment. in the form of entrepreneurship, creativity, provision of services. The authors draw attention to the fact that today in Ukraine the issue of creative employment of children, which has recently become more and more popular, has not been settled. The article also analyzes the gaps in the legislation on the issue raised in the topic of work, in particular, proposed amendments to certain articles of the Labor Code of Ukraine; proposed proposals to improve the legal framework of Ukraine to improve the situation with the first job in Ukraine.

Where Do Time and all of the Money go? Consumer Strategies of Urban Youth in Modern Russia

Introduction. Consumer strategies of urban youth with different work experienceThe main aim of the article is to show that young people's employment experience provides insight into their consumer policies, especially in the situation of an ongoing crisis. The analysis of the existing debate shows that researchers are primarily interested in youth consumption in terms of style and taste preferences in the context of lifestyle and latest consumer trends. At the same time, youth consumption issues related to the nature of young people's employment and rootedness in regional labour markets, especially in a challenging economic environment, remain in the sidelines. Large-scale surveys present a palette of consumer preferences that are rarely linked to job tenure, and relate mainly to the changes in young people's attitude towards consumable goods (Synovate Comcon, 2015).Despite the changes in economic conditions, the everyday life of today's youth is still rich in various consumer offers, and consumption remains as both a form and a background for the development of youth styles. Being a part of a consumer group is one of the foundations upon which young people construct their identities. This factor becomes all the more important in a fast-changing economic environment with new options emerging more and more frequently. The new architectures of consumer offers are encouraging young people, the part of the population that is the most susceptible to market novelties, to integrate themselves into the situation, constantly producing their identities, (in)directly joining the race for the fashionable, prestigious and relevant. It is obvious, however, that the participants' progress and success rate differ greatly. Some find that access to the style supermarket is denied for them, and consumer freedom is just an illusion linked with complex feelings of exclusion and deprivation. This is not a feature peculiar to Russia, but an overall trend of growing structural and systemic inequality that accompanies the large-scale development of the global market. Until today, distinctive features of Russian consumption were mainly defined by the concept of 'consumer revolution' applicable to the countries that have moved 'from necessary consumption to overconsumption' (Gurova, 2009, p. 276). Nevertheless, the situation is changing nowadays. We observe a partial return to shortage practices, which is due to not only the reduction and phasing of imported goods on offer as a consequence of the sanctions, but also an obvious decline in the standard of living for a significant part of the population that is hit by the economic crisis the hardest - the poor, the retired, the unemployed. Changes in consumption patterns of other, more secure population groups might not be as noticeable, and working youth is an example of that. However, this does not mean that young people do not feel the pressure of the crisis. A number of social scientists consider generational differences to be a new form of inequality (Pilkington, 2006, p. 383), so it was important for us to test the differences between young consumers with different labour and generational experiences employed in different fields: the public sector, the private sector, and the self-employed (freelancers). We believe that the field of employment can affect both the availability of material and symbolic resources and the habitus formed during young people's professional development, when they are learning the rules and regulations of a particular employment sector.1.Youth consumption as the focus of current academic debateThe contemporary academic debate on youth consumption is developing in several, rarely intersecting, dimensions. First of all, subculturally, consumer strategies and patterns are viewed as a new form of creating social differences. This dimension stems from young people's resistance against the class position inherited from their parents (Abraham, 2013). Subcultural research develops the idea of individual and group style values. …

Youth Unemployment in Russian Regions and Assessment of the Economic Loss

Background/Objectives: The objective of this study is to quantify the economic loss from underproduction in the regions of Russia caused by cyclical youth unemployment. We decomposed the youth unemployment into its natural rate and its cyclical component and made experimental calculations of the economic loss caused by cyclical youth unemployment. Methods/Statistical Analysis: We used the approach to analyzing and quantifying the economic loss from high youth unemployment that considers the economic loss as underproduction of gross value added with taking into account the age of the unemployed. Using the statistics posted on the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service, we calculated the rates of regional labor productivity. Findings: The approach we used enabled us to specify the methodology of calculating the economic loss and make more precise the labor productivity parameters, which allows differentiate the economic loss according to the age groups. Having made our calculations, we quantified the economic loss from cyclical unemployment among different age groups. We found that the loss is higher in the time of economic crisis and lower in the time of recovery growth. We also found that the greatest production growth potential due to the employment of young people belongs to the regions with high rates of labor productivity and high fractions of youth in the population. Applications/Improvements: The approach we presented in this study enabled us to specify the methodology for calculating the economic loss and make the labor productivity parameters more detailed, which in turn, allows differentiate the economic loss by age groups. This offers the opportunity to forecast the economic loss from youth unemployment by individual age groups on the basis of the existing dynamics. We found that the loss is greater in the time of economic crisis and smaller in the time of recovery growth.

Análisis de la influencia de la orientación profesional en los jóvenes en situación de abandono escolar

El objetivo principal de la investigación es conocer la importancia que tiene la orientación profesional para los jóvenes que retornan a la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria a través de los Centros de Educación de Personas Adultas, como herramienta indispensable que ha de estar presente en los momentos más críticos del estudiante atendiendo sus necesidades a nivel formativo, educativo y profesional, teniendo en cuenta los intereses, capacidades y necesidades de cada momento, así como la situación actual del mercado de trabajo, donde los jóvenes pasan con mayor rapidez entre situaciones de empleo y desempleo que en décadas anteriores. La Metodología de Investigación se desarrolla a través de un análisis factorial exploratorio, realizado de acuerdo al procedimiento de los componentes principales, analizando una muestra total de 878 estudiantes matriculados en los cuatro cursos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en los Centros de Educación de Personas Adultas de la provincia de Ciudad Real, datos recogidos a través de la cumplimentación de un cuestionario diseñado para tal efecto y donde los<br />resultados de la investigación indican que el 84% de los alumnos encuestados opina que se necesita una orientación a lo largo de la vida para estar informado y motivado en todo momento, y el 75.6% considera que la orientación profesional es un instrumento que ayuda a la inserción profesional de los jóvenes. Tanto los que han acudido a un orientador profesional como los que no lo han hecho, confirman la importancia de la orientación: el 57.4% reconoce que no habría abandonado los estudios si hubiera recibido una adecuada orientación profesional<br />y el 61.6% confirma que cuando finalice la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria acudirá a un orientador profesional para que le ayude en la búsqueda de empleo y el 74.7% para que le informe tanto de formación reglada como no reglada.

Strategic management and management of personnel costs: employing young people in the Slovak Republic

This paper focuses on evaluating strategic management of the labor market through legislated active labor market measures introduced in the Slovak Republic to support youth employment. Based on the presented statistical data and managerial and legal analysis of the labor market in the Slovak Republic, with particular emphasis on the economic status of young people, two key parts of the adopted strategic document should provide better economic security for young adults. From the point of view of employers the initiatives are an attractive means for incorporating young adults into the economy, especially because this allows for increased active management of personnel costs that are directly related to compensatory incentives from the side of state agencies for employment of young people. This strategic management creates possibilities for employers to gain access to lower labor costs and to realize significant cost savings. Supporting data are presented graphically and at the same time the cost savings for employers are calculated. Overall, these two analyses demonstrate the practical effect of the new strategic measures on corporate management of personnel costs

The employability of young people in Spain: Explaining the high youth unemployment during the economic downturn

Los datos presentados en este articulo ponen de manifiesto que el elevado desempleo de los jovenes en Espana es un hecho estructural que se explica fundamentalmente por la destruccion de empleos temporales, las caracteristicas del sistema productivo y por los desajustes existentes entre la formacion y el mercado laboral. Tiene por objetivo analizar las causas del elevado desempleo juvenil en Espana y las circunstancias que condicionan la empleabilidad. La metodologia utilizada se ha basado en la exploracion de datos secundarios procedentes de las Encuestas de Juventud, Eurostat y la Encuesta de Poblacion Activa. El articulo subraya que la tasa de desempleo no se distribuye homogeneamente entre todos los jovenes, afectando fundamentalmente a los mas jovenes, lo menos formados y los pertenecientes a las clases bajas y de otra nacionalidad. Estas circunstancias se evidencian, por un lado, en el elevado desempleo de los jovenes menores de 25 anos, el elevado fracaso escolar y, por otro lado, en la sobre-cualificacion de los jovenes.

Future Public Service Capacity: Employment of Young People into Australian Public Services during the GFC

Public services face several workforce challenges, including impending retirements and austerity programs. Although employing more young people is a likely solution to balancing the demographic profile of public services, the literature and theory suggest that young people would have fared worse during the global financial crisis. This research tests propositions around the vulnerability of young people in selected Australian public services during the global financial crisis, in terms of quantity and quality of jobs obtained. Surprisingly, the findings suggest that many young people fared as well or sometimes better than other age cohorts during the global financial crisis in terms of both recruitment and access to ongoing jobs. There are several indications that perhaps public services provided a safe haven in a turbulent labour market.

Formerly NEET Young People's Pathways to Work: A Case-Study Approach

The recession in the United Kingdom has had a disproportionate effect on young people's employment opportunities, rendering many of them, especially those with low-level qualifications, ensnared in insecure, low-paid work. Findings from two multinational private sector company case studies, incorporating the perspectives of management staff, young people working within them, career support service practitioners and Jobcentre Plus managers, reveal that many young people want to work, but have difficulty in finding and retaining paid employment. Previously NEET (not in employment, education or training) young people, especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, tend to access work via informal pathways and obtain knowledge about the workplace via informal means, rendering them less likely to gain and retain secure, well-paid employment. Private sector employers, career guidance and support practices are progressively moving towards more formal routes of gaining and retaining staff. Integrated, holistic systems that support both the young person and employer are required to help previously NEET young people secure relevant job opportunities.
