Pesonen, Henri V.; Tuononen, Tarja; Fabri, Marc; Lahdelma, Minja – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
An unprecedented number of autistic people are completing university and they frequently face unemployment after graduation. However, research focusing on the forms of graduate capital and their employability is scarce. The focus of existing research has been on non-autistic, or neurotypical, graduates. The human, social, cultural, identity and…

Lillehagen, Mats; Birkelund, Gunn Elisabeth – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
Each year, students graduate from schools, colleges and universities. Some find a job quickly -- others do not. Delays in the transition from education to work have been associated with scarring effects and detrimental effects on later employment and career progression. Increasing numbers of graduates from universities and colleges are descendants…

Souto-Otero, Manuel; Bialowolski, Piotr – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
The link between higher education and employment is central to the understanding of social stratification and social mobility. We use three theories to analyse the importance of education and credentials in recruitment decisions in European graduate labour markets: human capital (HC), network capital (NC) and reputational capital (RC) theory.…

Chanis, Stefanos; Eleftheriou, Konstantinos; Hadjidema, Stamatina; Katavelis, Vasileios – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
Using cross-sectional data, collected via a survey from the Greek healthcare sector, we estimate both the private (direct) and public/social (indirect) returns to education from an increase in an employee's educational level. By utilising a spatial econometrics approach, we control for the aggregation problems that plague the majority of the…

Wallis, Richard – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
Teaching students aspiring to media work presents the educator with a fundamental dilemma. On the one hand, students require the knowledge and skills necessary to find and sustain employment within existing industry practices, systems and structures. On the other hand, students need to be prepared for the uncertain and shifting nature of media…

Tran, Ly Thi; Bui, Huyen – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
International graduate employability is critical to host universities' positioning in the education export market, internationalisation agenda and ethical responsibility to international students and alumni. However, little is known about the positioning and re-positioning of international graduates in their home labour market. This article…

Technical efficiency is the ability of a firm to produce its maximum output using a set of inputs or to minimise the use of its inputs to produce a certain level of output. When a firm is operating at its most efficient, operating costs can be minimised, profits maximised and competitiveness improved. This study investigates the role of a firm's…

Lehmann, Wolfgang – Journal of Education and Work, 2019
As undergraduate degrees have become increasingly common and their relative value has declined, employers increasingly look for evidence other than human capital that can distinguish one candidate from another. Both social and personal capital are important in this respect, but also create disadvantages for university graduates from less…

Groleau, Amélie; Smith, Michael R. – Journal of Education and Work, 2019
Previous research has documented substantial overqualification and an association with social disadvantage and fields of study. Overqualification persistence has been less studied. Persistence is more important than prevalence because skill and job matches are likely to involve lags. Our data set allows us to estimate the prevalence, the…
