Los stages franceses. Tres claves para mejorar las prácticas para el empleo de los jóvenes en España
2016
El trabajo analiza, desde una perspectiva de Derecho comparado, los stages franceses o estancias de formación, que, en su acepción más estricta, son períodos de prácticas en empresas en educación universitaria. El Derecho francés mediante sucesivas reformas ha creado un estatuto de los stagiaires mediante el reconocimiento de una serie de derechos. Entre las idiosincrasias del Derecho francés, se instituye un derecho de gratificación cuando la duración es al menos de 2 meses y se limita la duración máxima del tiempo de prácticas aplicando los mismos topes de jornada de los trabajadores. El ordenamiento galo introduce limitaciones para evitar el uso desviado de estas prácticas no laborales c…
Examining Bridge Employment From a Self-employment Perspective : Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study
2017
This study examines bridge employment decision-making from a self-employment perspective using 3 prominent retirement theories, the life course perspective, continuity theory and role theory. Focusing on self-employment extends the current theoretical understanding of bridge employment and offers interesting implications for retirement policy-making. Specifically, using longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 2,080), we conducted multinomial regression analysis to examine who were more/less likely to fully retire, enter bridge employment in the wage-and-salary form, or enter bridge employment in the self-employment form. Furthermore, we examined the role of pre-retiremen…
Essays on Employment and Unemployment Transitions
2015
The Great Recession has led to important adjustments in the labour market of most developed countries and has dramatically affected the labour market in Spain. According to the Labour Force Survey, the Spanish unemployment rate has increased drastically from 8.5% in 2006 to 25% in 2012 (see the figure). In order to understand the unemployment rate it is important to consider both entry into and exit out of unemployment. This thesis addresses relevant questions for policymakers in line with the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. How does the Great Recession affect the patterns and determinants of durations of unemployment and new job matches? How did gender differences in labour market …
El impacto de la crisis en el empleo público local: el caso del área metropolitana de Valencia
2014
Los ajustes derivados de actual proceso de consolidación fiscal en que se hallan las Administraciones Públicas españolas han golpeado con fuerza a un entramado institucional débil: el empleo público de los gobiernos locales de nuestro país, explicable tanto por la fragilidad sobre el terreno del sistema de mérito, como por la falta de aplicación efectiva de mecanismos de gestión. En este contexto y transcurridos ya cinco años de crisis económica se trata de dar cuenta, mediante datos agregados y de un estudio realizado en el marco del proyecto SAIS-AMV (“sostenibilidad social y ambiental en espacios metropolitanos: el caso del área metropolitana de Valencia”), de qué modo, mediante qué estr…
Family carers and lack of personal time: Descriptions of being outside the sphere of formal help
2011
The aim of this article is to study manifestations of uncomfortable familial commitments. The connection of such commitments to informal family carers' descriptions of problems in accessibility of services and to descriptions of preferences regarding limited use of formal help is examined. The data consists of 21 qualitative interviews of Finnish persons who, alongside their gainful employment, cared for their parent(s). It is argued that the lives of adult children and parent(s) needing care and help are interdependent, and various uncomfortable familial commitments exist due to problems in service provision (accessibility of services) or the reluctance of parents to accept formal help (us…
A Macroeconomic Analysis of Regional Migration in Finland, 1975-95
1999
This study analyzes regional migration in the 85 Finnish subregions during the period 1975-95 using data on net in-migration rates. Both cross-section and panel data methods are employed. The regression analysis reveals that the direction of net in-migration flows can be explained by a set of regionally differing characteristics. Unemployment rates, tax rates, and the share of primary production affect net in-migration negatively, whereas the share of higher education and the growth of regional incomes have a positive effect. This indicates that regional disparities may not be alleviated by migration, but there is some evidence for a cumulative causation growth pattern induced by net in-mig…
Ikä, identiteetti ja ohjaava koulutus. Ikääntyvät pitkäaikaistyöttömät oppimisyhteiskunnan haasteena
2007
Piia Silvennoinen tutki väitöskirjassaan, millainen merkitys työvoimapoliittisella koulutuksella on ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien elämässä. Koulutusten oletetaan parantavan ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien työmarkkinakelpoisuutta ja elämänhallintaa. Silvennoinen haki vastausta siihen, miten ikääntyvät pitkäaikaistyöttömät itse suhtautuvat työvoimapoliittisiin koulutuksiin; onko niistä heille haittaa vai hyötyä. Silvennoinen kertoo, että koulutuksen hyödyllisyyttä arvioidaan sen työllistävän vaikutuksen kautta. – Mitä vähemmän koulutus työllistää, sitä enemmän myös sen muut merkitykset menettävät arvoaan ikääntyvien pitkäaikaistyöttömien elämässä, Silvennoinen toteaa. Nykyinen itseohjau…
On poles and centers: Cities in the French style
2005
International audience; The “multicentric city” is an oversimplified view of the contemporary city. The term “center” covers a multi-faceted reality. A center is not only a concentration of activities. It also means domination,power, creation and interaction. Consequently, the “secondary centers” do not necessarily replicate the main center and they are clearly differentiated. We define the “pole” as a concentration ofactivities, whatever their nature, and the “center” as a concentration of high-order and strategic activities, so that the so-called multicentric cities may be both multipolar and monocentric. This suggests what we call the Multipolar-Monocentric hypothesis.The paper sets out …

Transversal Competences for Employment and Profile of Excellent University Students
2014
Abstract The relationship between the field of training -university- and the working environment is absolutely essential. The university must train its students to satisfy the needs of society, to build knowledge and to develop critical thinking but it cannot elude the commitment to prepare competent professionals. This paper shows the growing interest in researching on the labour insertion of graduates. The concept of competence is analysed and the differences between generic and specific competences are studied. The generic or transversal competences proposed by the Tuning project and other studies are delimited. Such competences, considered as key competences for employment, are contrast…
