High graduate unemployment rate and Taiwanese undergraduate education     

Chih-Chun Wu 《International Journal of Educational Development》2011

An expansion in higher education in combination with the recent global economic recession has resulted in a high college graduate unemployment rate in Taiwan. This study investigates how the high unemployment rate and financial constraints caused by economic cutbacks have shaped undergraduates’ class choices, job needs, and future income expectations. Therein, the results obtained from a structural equation model indicate that students whose expenditures were most affected by the economic recession were in greater need of paid employment and were also more likely to take practical and credential courses, which resulted in heavier course loads. Clearly, the economic downturn and the consequential high unemployment rate have directed undergraduates to select more practical education, wherein they now prefer classes that are more likely to increase their employability. The results obtained in this study indicate that people use college courses to enhance their competencies and employability. Finally, regardless of the economic situation, female undergraduates expected significantly lower pay after graduation in comparison to their male counterparts.  相似文献   

A psychosocial approach to shame,embarrassment and melancholia amongst unemployed young men and their fathers     

Luis Jimenez  Valerie Walkerdine 《Gender and education》2011,23(2):185-199

This paper uses a psychosocial approach to explore young unemployed men’s resistance to work they describe as ‘embarrassing’ and ‘feminine’, in the context of the closure of a steelworks in a town in the South Wales valleys. In our psychosocial interview‐based study, with young men as well as their mothers and (where possible) their fathers, we found a community riven with complex feelings about masculinity and femininity, projected on to the young men in such a way as to almost scapegoat them. The experience of the young men was marked by embarrassment and shame. They feel bullied and shamed by their families, peers and others in the community for not being able to find gender‐appropriate work.  相似文献

保障生活·预防失业·促进就业——失业保险制度的改革与完善     

孙曼娇 《安庆师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2010,29(8):30-34

现行失业保险制度存在保险覆盖面窄、功能界定不太科学、促进再就业功能弱等问题。失业保险制度有保障生活、预防失业、促进就业功能。改革和完善失业保险制度,要尽快出台《失业保险法》或《社会保险法》,建立失业预警制度,加大失业保险金对再就业的支出比例,加强再就业组织和培训的社会化,建立失业互助金帮助特殊群体,完善失业保险、低保与促进就业的联动机制。  相似文献   

金融危机背景下的“新失业群体”研究——基于甘肃省民族地区分析     

马鑫焱  马玉堂 《湖北广播电视大学学报》2010,30(6):59-60

＂新失业群体＂是我国在经济发展中出现的一个特殊的群体,对这个群体的研究对于我国的经济、社会建设和发展尤其重要。在金融危机之后,我国这个群体出现有何新变化和新特征,其出现原因是什么,这是我们要切实思考和认真对待的。以往在理论界只是注重于＂新失业群体＂出现的主观原因,对于客观因素的影响却缺乏深入的探索。本文将立足于甘肃省民族地区的＂新失业群体＂,就主客观因素相结合,探索在金融危机之后的＂新失业群体＂,为促进我国的经济和社会发展提供理性的理论依据和实践依据。  相似文献

农村失业问题之界定和治理   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

康文龙 《西南师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2000,26(2):42-46

学术界对农村失业问题进行了大量的理论探讨,但普遍夸大了农村失业问题。按照失业的定义,我国农村劳动力剩余不是绝对的,而是相对的,我国农村失业人员主要是完全脱离农业的农民和农村的“墨人”,因此,在失业问题上,我国必须有适合于我国国情的失业标准。治理的关键在于农民增收和建立多层次的社会保障体制。  相似文献

Women Face Unemployment: A Comparative Analysis of Age Groups     

Liat Kulik 《Journal of Career Development》2000,27(1):15-33

The study examined differences in job search intensity, attitudes toward unemployment, and related responses among four age groups of jobless women in Israel, all of whom were married: Post-adolescence (up to age 21); young adulthood (age 22–35), mid-life (age 36–49); and late adulthood (50–62). The findings revealed differences in job search intensity for the four age groups. The youngest group spent more time seeking employment per week than did the other groups. At the same time, women in the late adulthood group were least likely to reject job offers owing to financial considerations, whereas those in the young adult and mid-life groups tended to reject job offers either due to conflict with family obligations or to work conditions. Moreover, the older respondents reported a sharper decline in health following unemployment than did their younger counterparts. In the same vein, members of the late adulthood group reported less financial strain as a result of unemployment than did the rest of the groups.  相似文献
