Impact of wage penalty on mobility return of French PhDs

International audience; Expatriation of higher-education graduates raises much concern in many countries often in conjunction with talk about the brain drain. It supposedly entails a risk of losing the skills required for a competitive economy. The issue is all the more acute for PhD graduates, who are expected to play a major part in the knowledge economy. However, questions arise as to the causes of such mobility and its consequences for young graduates' individual career paths.

L'éclatement des parcours professionnels des diplômés de doctorat en France

2013

Ce chapitre a pour objectif d'analyser le processus d'insertion professionnelle des jeunes docteurs en France. Il montre d'abord que l'accès au marché du travail des jeunes docteurs est particulièrement difficile dans un pays où le diplôme est en principe considéré comme une protection au moins relative contre la précarité de l'emploi et le chômage. Comparés aux diplômés de masters professionnels ou d'écoles d'ingénieurs, les jeunes docteurs connaissent en France une insertion plus difficile. De plus, une typologie statistique des trajectoires des jeunes docteurs indique un éclatement des parcours professionnels après la thèse. Moins d'un tiers des docteurs connaissent une trajectoire d'acc…

Domestic Violence Interventions in Social and Health Care Settings: Challenges of Temporary Projects and Short-Term Solutions.

2020

Social welfare service and health care providers are in a key position to implement successful domestic violence (DV) interventions. However, it is known that DV intervention and prevention work is often lacking in coordination and continuity. In addition, the limited resources, hectic work pace, and changing practices negatively affect the development of successful ways to prevent and intervene in DV. This qualitative study involving 11 focus groups, composed of social welfare and health care professionals ( n = 51) in a midsized Finnish hospital, examined the challenges and possibilities within DV interventions and the adoption of good practices produced by a DV intervention development …

Should all the world be taxed?

1997

Governments are beginning to fear that the establishment of the “information society” will cause their revenue from taxation to shrink: economic activities in the virtual world of the Internet could escape the application of value added tax. Are these fears justified? Would a “bit tax” solve the problem?

A framework for data integration of offshore wind farms

2013

Abstract Operation and maintenance play an important role in maximizing the yield and minimizing the downtime of wind turbines, especially offshore wind farms where access can be difficult due to harsh weather conditions for long periods. It contributes up to 25–30% to the cost of energy generation. Improved operation and maintenance (O&M) practices are likely to reduce the cost of wind energy and increase safety. In order to optimize the O&M, the importance of data exchange and knowledge sharing within the offshore wind industry must be realized. With more data available, it is possible to make better decisions, and thereby improve the recovery rates and reduce the operational costs. This …
