Abstract:
Educational attainment is an ever more important factor in shaping young people's life chances. Changing economic and social conditions - information and communication technologies, the globalisation of economic activity, greater personal responsibility and autonomy in all aspects of life - have given knowledge and skills an increasingly central role in the economic success of individuals and nations. In the OECD countries, upper secondary diplomas have become a minimum for successfully entering the labour market and a basis for further participation in lifelong learning.
Abstract:
This book presents the results of the project on young adults with low levels of education, conducted jointly by the OECD and the Canadian Policy Research Networks. It examines the extent to which young men and women with low levels of education are marginalized, the role family background plays in making it possible to complete the recognized minimal level of education, and how immigrants overcome the cultural and language gaps to find employment.--Publisher's description
