A team of some of the world's leading scholars in the field examine the ways in which educational qualifications affect the occupational outcomes of men and women in thirteen countries.  The book features chapters on each of these countries, together with a lead chapter which integrates them, and analyses them\n\u003cbr\u003ecomparatively. The authors present a wealth of  rich and detailed information on educational institutions in these various countries, as well as reports on rigorous statistical analyses of the\n\u003cbr\u003eassociations between qualifications and occupations.  The data reveals marked differences between countries in how education shapes occupational attainment, and indicates that these differences are related, in very systematic ways, to the institutional characteristics of school systems.  The book offers a range of insightful policy-oriented observations, for example that vocational education is valuable in countries where training is occupationally specific, but is of little value where the\n\u003cbr\u003ecurricula are general in content.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972406804718,"sku":"9780198293224","price":611.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780198293224.jpg?v=1674367013","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/from-school-to-work","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
