Hyeongsuk Jin; Amanda Kopp – Statistics Canada, 2023
Recent immigrants in Canada can face challenges related to labour integration and a lack of recognition for their skills and experiences. Previous studies have shown that Canadian postsecondary education could improve immigrants' labour market outcomes because this may lead to recognition of previously acquired skills and credentials. Despite the…

Sophia Su; Hyeongsuk Jin – Statistics Canada, 2023
Over the last several decades, the number of Indigenous people in Canada has steadily increased. In the most recent Census (2021), 1.8 million Indigenous people were enumerated, representing a 9.4% increase from 2016. In comparison, the growth of the non-Indigenous population over the same period was 5.3%. Although the number of Indigenous people…

Sebastian Schneider; Matthias Pilz – Prospects, 2024
India has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and the highest working-age population. The country has a particular demand for skilled labourers, especially at the semi-skilled level, in various sectors. However, many young people find it challenging to acquire the skills employers demand. To approach the issue of youth…

This dissertation is a study of policy stakeholders (N = 24) in four countries within the regional Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) policy environment. The scope was to identify how they navigated and interpreted conceptualizations of TVET and general education, which have been explicitly tied to national and regional…

Marioni, Larissa da Silva – Education Economics, 2021
This paper analyses the prevalence of educational mismatch and its effects on wages in Brazil using a large employer-employee dataset. I find that half of the Brazilian labour market is mismatched, with similar proportions of over- and undereducated. Overeducated (undereducated) workers earn significantly lower (higher) than their co-workers who…

Valiente, Oscar; Zancajo, Adrián; Jacovkis, Judith – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2020
The importance of skill formation for young people and the challenges of youth unemployment and underemployment are at the forefront of global development agendas. However, there is still an open debate about the most adequate policy frameworks to tackle these societal challenges and, particularly, about the role that the state and the market…

Pivovarova, Margarita; Powers, Jeanne M. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2022
In this study, we investigated the factors associated with education-job mismatches among US workers by immigrant generation. We used the data from the U.S. sample of the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and documented the distribution of education-job mismatches across selected independent variables. We…

Sevilla, María-Paola; Farías, Mauricio – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2020
One of the most salient characteristics of the recent evolution of Chilean higher education system is its rapid expansion. Conversely, the competencies required for the workforce have been slower to emerge. This paper examines the incidence of qualification and skill mismatches across different populations, across age groups, gender, and…

George Marshall; Eric Fecteau – Statistics Canada, 2023
The contribution of immigration to the Canadian economy and society has been of continued importance in recent decades, due to being the main driver of population growth and their importance on the labour market. Given that Canada and other countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are competing for skilled…

Blair, Peter Q.; Debroy, Papia; Heck, Justin – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Over the past four decades, income inequality grew significantly between workers with bachelor's degrees and those with high school diplomas (often called "unskilled"). Rather than being unskilled, we argue that these workers are STARs because they are skilled through alternative routes--namely their work experience. Using the skill…

Amior, Michael – Centre for Economic Performance, 2019
Better-educated workers form many more long-distance job matches, and they move more quickly following local employment shocks. I argue this is a consequence of larger dispersion in wage offers, independent of geography. In a frictional market, this generates larger surpluses for workers in new matches, which can better justify the cost of moving…

Dovchin, Sender; Dryden, Stephanie – Applied Linguistics, 2022
Drawing on linguistic ethnographic data, this study examines the language-based discriminatory experiences of skilled transnational migrants in the labour market of Australia. Moving beyond two main concepts of 'interlingual' and 'intra-lingual' discrimination in applied linguistics, this article points out the concept of 'translingual…

Smith, Emma; White, Patrick – Research Papers in Education, 2022
Concerns over the supply of highly-skilled (HS) science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) workers are well established and have been a feature of policy discourse in the UK for more than 50 years. Since the 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union, these concerns have been exacerbated by uncertainty about the movement of labour…

Bar-Haim, Eyal; Chauvel, Louis; Hartung, Anne – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2019
In many countries, the skilled labor market has lagged educational expansion. As a result of increased competition, younger cohorts of the highly educated face decreasing returns to education or overeducation. Surprisingly, decreasing occupational outcomes do not coincide empirically with the economic returns among those with tertiary education.…

Feng, Yun – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This dissertation studies the effects of China's higher education expansion reform on workers' labor market outcomes. In Chapter 1, I investigate how China's higher education expansion reform affects young workers' labor market outcomes. Using data from the 2005 China Population Survey, I estimate the effects of the reform using a diff-in-diff…
