Considerable increases in economic growth and development, population, and urbanization have been experienced in the world as of the industrial revolution, but significant environmental degradation, climate change, resource depletion, inequality in education and income, gender inequality, and poverty have accompanied these developments. In this context, the joint efforts of the United Nations and countries have led to the emergence of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development consisting of 17 sustainable development goals to overcome these problems. One of the sustainable development goals is quality education. Education can influence the achievement of other sustainable development goals through various channels. Considerations on Education for Economic, Social, and Environmental Sustainability explores the impact of education on the main components of sustainable development consisting of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Covering topics such as business transformation, transitional innovation, and the professional integration of graduates, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for business leaders, government officials, sociologists, educators of higher and K-12 education, preservice teachers, administrators, policymakers, researchers, and academicians.

This book aims to answer a number of important questions. To what extent have European countries converged or diverged with EU-wide economic and social indicators over the past 20 years? What have been the drivers of convergence? Why do some countries lag behind, while others experience continuous upward convergence? Why are these trajectories not always linear? Particular attention is paid to the role of institutions, actors and industrial relations – focusing on the resources and strategies of governments, employers and trade unions – in nudging EU countries onto an upward convergence path.

La 4e de couv. indique : "La formation professionnelle a connu une nouvelle réforme avec un accord national interprofessionnel en décembre 2013 et une loi en mars 2014. Former plus et mieux, telle était l'ambition affichée. En effet, le système formation souffre de nombreux maux au premier rang desquels l'inégalité d'accès aux actions de formation qui frappe tout particulièrement les jeunes et les adultes les moins qualifiés, les demandeurs d'emploi et les salariés des petites entreprises. Développant des actions de formation de courte durée visant l'adaptation aux postes de travail, ce système formation ne favorise guère l'accès aux certifications et de ce fait sécurise peu les trajectoires professionnelles marquées de plus en plus par les ruptures et les transitions. De nombreux espoirs étaient placés dans cette réforme que les auteurs analysent de façon rigoureuse soulignant les mesures porteuses de progrès comme le Compte personnel de formation ou le Conseil en évolution professionnelle mais en en montrant les limites. Explorant les dimensions historique, sociologique, juridique et pédagogique, ils proposent aux lecteurs une réflexion argumentée sur la formation professionnelle, ses enjeux comme ses dispositifs. Ils défendent l'idée que seule la logique de l'équité permettra, tout en conjuguant l'universalité et les droits, la différenciation des abondements, de mettre fin aux inégalités d'accès et de développer les compétences requises par un monde en constante évolution. Ils allient la rigueur de l'analyse au pragmatisme des outils au travers de fiches méthodologiques qui fournissent aux lecteurs des repères pour l'action."

This comprehensive study provides a perceptive portrait of workplace employment relations in Britain and France using comparable data from two large-scale surveys: the British Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) and the French Enquête Relations Professionnelles et Négociations d’Entreprise (REPONSE). These extensive linked employer-employee surveys provide nationally-representative data on private sector employment relations in all but the smallest workplaces, and offer a unique opportunity to compare and contrast workplace employment relations under two very different employment regimes. An insightful read for all academics and students of employment, the findings also have implications for practitioners and policy-makers keen to identify and promote “best practice”.

Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.
