Sociology: work & labour; Higher & further education, tertiary education; Employment & unemployment

This book explores the highly significant and contested area

of graduate employability and employment which is paid so much attention by those

in the media and policy-makers. This is driven largely by concerns over the

wider economic impact and value of graduates as increasing numbers complete

their studies in higher education. At a time when graduates are seen as key to

economic success, the critical question remains as to how their employability

plays out in a changing labour market. This book brings together innovative

approaches and research to present an extensive survey of the field. It

provides insight on what is a complex and often elusive social and economic

problem, ranging from how graduate employability is constructed as an economic

and policy agenda to explorations of how graduates manage the transition from

higher education to paid employment and finally to suggest future directions

for curricula, policy and research.
