Helping Youth Bridge the Gap from School to Work Through Manpower and Economic Education
Author: Robert L. Darcy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Career education
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
For most Americans the pursuit of happiness begins with the simple fact of a good job. Manpower policy is aimed at improving job opportunities and earning for the American people. To help young people bridge the gap from school to work we must assist them not only to acquire vocational information and job skills, but we must also help them to understand the broad socio-economic environment in which they will work, as productive human resources, and live as men and women. A program of manpower education approaches the study of work and the economic system from the point of view of man in his capacity as a human resource, functioning on the productive side in the economic process where the creative instinct of workmanship may be expressed. Its dual objective is manpower development and socio-economic understanding of the world of work. An example course centers around the world of economics, technology and change, economic and noneconomic dimensions of work, rational decision making and career planning, the manpower market, occupational opportunities in the U.S. economy, and manpower skills and the economic value of education. Students taking the course showed a change of attitude, increased knowledge, and a positive course rating. The course is limited in that it cannot do the entire job for successful labor force participation, and it is designed to meet only the general needs of secondary students.

The Youth Experience Gap
Author: Francesco Pastore
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331910196X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
“The education to work transition of young people is key to a successful work-life and to fight youth unemployment. The book provides an impressive outline of the facts and convincing insights of the potential causes. This offers a large and broader audience help to adjust properly to achieve a better life.” Klaus F. Zimmermann, IZA, Bonn, Germany This work points to the youth experience gap as a key concept to explain the meager employment opportunities and earnings many young people face.The transition from education to work remains a long dark tunnel around the world. However, this book shows that there are striking differences between countries: in Germany, the young people of today are no worse off than their adult counterparts, while in Southern European and Eastern European countries they fare 3 through 4 times worse. The current economic and financial crisis has further exacerbated the situation for young people in many advanced economies. Observers are divided as to the optimal design of youth employment policy. Liberalists believe that the market itself should address youth disadvantages. More flexible labor markets should also guarantee greater labor turnover, including temporary work, so as to allow young people to move from one job to the next until they accumulate the work experience they need to become more employable and find the right career. In contrast, other economists oppose approaches focusing on entry flexibility and temporary work, claiming that the former type helps only the most skilled and motivated target groups, while the latter only allows young people to gather generic, not job-specific work experience.
