A Comparative Analysis of Transitions
from
|
| CATEWE aims at analysing the transition from education to work in a comparative European perspective. The objective of this research is to develop a more satisfactory framework for understanding transitions in different European systems and to use this framework to analyse the factors affecting success and failure in education/training outcomes and labour market integration. There will be a major focus on delineating the institutional embeddedness of these transition processes, thus enhancing comparative knowledge on the operation of different linkages between the education and training system and the labour market. The research will have a dynamic perspective, analysing changes in transition processes over time and their relationship to changes in institutional and labour market conditions. |
| The project uses a particularly rich source of data on transitions: regular and longitudinal surveys of school leavers’ surveys in Ireland, Scotland, France and the Netherlands. These analyses will be enriched and extended by comparative analyses of the Labour Force Surveys for a wider range of European countries. Together, comparative analyses of these two sources of data will provide a strong empirical basis for studying the process of initial labour market entry, the factors influencing successful integration or exclusion, and the interaction of these factors with institutional and societal variables. |
