Bettina Kohlrausch

A Ticket to Work?

Policies for the Young Unemployed in Britain and Germany

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In A Ticket to Work, Bettina Kohlrausch examines the differing approaches taken by Britain and Germany to assisting young people with the often difficult transition from school to full-time work. Detailing the workings of such programs as skills training and job-placement assistance, the volume places those vocational training methods in the context of the general political and economic climate of the two nations, drawing a contrast between Britain’s more liberal market economy and Germany’s more structured and coordinated regime.

Immer mehr Jugendliche verlassen die Schule ohne qualifizierten Abschluss. Um ihnen dennoch den Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt zu ermöglichen, gibt es jenseits des traditionellen Ausbildungssystems eine Vielzahl staatlicher Maßnahmen. Bettina Kohlrausch vergleicht diese sogenannten Übergangssysteme in Deutschland und Großbritannien und zeigt, dass in beiden Ländern die staatlichen Modelle mittlerweile ein bedeutendes Segment des Ausbildungssystems sind.
