This book was released on 2011 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the expectations and labour force outcomes of a recent doctoral graduating class by drawing from two different data sources that surveyed the same individuals at two different points in time. The first is the Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), which interviewed the doctoral graduates at the time of their graduation in 2005. The second source is the National Graduates Survey (NGS) which interviewed them again in 2007. The study provides a profile of doctoral holders two years after graduation by examining their demographics and program characteristics as well as their expectations at the time of graduation. It also analyses their mobility patterns, with a particular focus on graduates who moved to the United States. Finally, it examines the graduates' labour market outcomes, including employment rates, income, industry, and the prevalence of over-qualification as compared to the graduates' expectations.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there have been a number of discussions within Canada and in other countries on the value of obtaining a doctoral degree. Some argue that the country is experiencing an over-supply of PhDs relative to the labour market demand for these very highly-skilled graduates, while others contend that Canada lags behind other developed countries in the production of doctoral graduates. Crucial to this debate is the issue of how the labour market absorbs new doctoral graduates. According to the 2006 Census of Population, more than two-thirds of doctoral holders who worked full-time in Canada were employed by the public sector in 2005 (67%). This share of workers was distributed across educational services (47%), health care and social assistance (11%) and public administration (9%), with only one-third of graduates employed by the private sector.
Download or read book Early Labour Market Outcomes of Recent Canadian University Graduates by Discipline written by Ross Finnie and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports the results of an empirical analysis of the early career outcomes of recent Canadian Bachelor's level graduates by discipline based on three waves of the National Graduates Surveys, which comprise large, representative databases of individuals who successfully completed their programmes at Canadian universities in 1982, 1986, and 1990, with information gathered during interviews conducted two and five years after graduation for each group of graduates (1984/87, 1988/92, 1990/95). The outcomes analysed, all broken down by sex and discipline, include: the distribution of graduates by field and the percentage of female graduates; the percentage of graduates who subsequently completed another educational programme; the overall evaluation of the choice of major (would they choose it again?); unemployment rates; the percentage of workers in part-time jobs, in temporary jobs, self-employed; the job-education skill and credentials matches; earnings levels and rates of growth; and job satisfaction (earnings, overall). Many of the outcomes conform to expectations, typically reflecting the different orientations of the various disciplines with respect to direct career preparedness, with the professions and other applied disciplines generally characterised by lower unemployment rates, closer skill and qualification matches, higher earnings, and so on. On the other hand, while the "applied" fields also tend to perform well in terms of the "softer", more subjective measures regarding job satisfaction and the overall evaluation of the chosen programme (would the graduate choose the same major again?), the findings also indicate that graduates' assessments of their post-graduation experiences and overall evaluations of the programmes from which they graduated are based on more than simply adding up standard measures of labour market "success", with the job satisfaction scores and - perhaps most interestingly - the overall programme evaluations often departing from what the objective measures (unemployment rates, earnings levels, etc.) might have predicted. Some implications of the findings are discussed and avenues for future research are suggested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that post-PhD career planning should ideally begin at the same time as the PhD itself. Drawing from ten years of research and stories of close to 50 individuals, each chapter focuses on the stories of individuals who share common career intentions and how they negotiate these both before, during and after their studies. Each career trajectory is different as individuals planned and made decisions in the face of both expected and unexpected work, personal experiences and responsibilities. The book concludes with resources to help those who are currently planning or reflecting on their own career trajectories.
Download or read book Degrees of Success written by The Expert Panel on the Labour Market Transition of PhD Graduates and published by Council of Canadian Academies. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PhD graduates play an important role in building Canada’s highly skilled and innovative workforce. They have expertise and knowledge that can help tackle some of the pressing challenges of the 21st century, yet PhDs are increasingly confronted with significant roadblocks on their entry into the labour market. For some academic disciplines, a PhD has long been the natural entry point to a career in the professoriate. This path still exists, but is available to fewer and fewer individuals. At the same time, meaningful jobs outside of the academy do not appear to have kept up with the growing numbers of PhD graduates in Canada. Some new graduates face extended periods of temporary employment, underemployment, or unemployment, whether they are trying to enter academia, or the public or private sector. As a result, they are missing out on opportunities to reach their potential and make a significant contribution to Canadian society, and the Canadian economy misses out on opportunities to spur growth and innovation by capitalizing on their expertise. Degrees of Success highlights the lived experiences of students and recent graduates and their entries into the workforce. It details the challenges faced by PhDs as they begin their careers, key factors contributing to these challenges, and promising practices to address them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essential third edition, Vappu Tyyskä examines the challenges faced by today's young people through a critical lens. Difficult questions related to such issues as employment, education, social pressure, identity, and crime are explored by Tyyskä as she paints a fascinating picture of modern youth in three countries: Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The author explores the negative stereotypes surrounding young people, and argues that it is time to contextualize our understanding of youth by addressing the underlying social, economic, and political issues they face. Each of the ten revised chapters begins with a list of key learning objectives and ends with discussion questions to aid in the learning process and stimulate critical thinking. This new edition incorporates updated statistics, comprehensive tables, and revised narratives in which the author explores topics pertinent to today's youth such as the influence of social media, eating disorders, and recent changes to the juvenile justice system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on data from the 2009/2010 National Graduate Surveys, this doctoral research builds upon past research comparing the outcomes of university graduates of various postsecondary programs across earnings, objective and subjective work-to-education match, and job satisfaction. This research consists of four areas of study. Statistical analyses first compare fields of study using disaggregated categories of liberal arts and STEM (science, technology, mathematics, and engineering) programs, to determine the extent to which the labour market outcomes vary for graduates of university programs that are traditionally aggregated in the wider literature. The next stage of research analyzes the outcomes of postsecondary graduates of traditional versus non-traditional (distance education) programs. Comparisons of outcomes of university graduates who specialized in bilingual versus technical (i.e., science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) pursuits comprise the third area of study. Finally, statistical models include sociodemographic variables to assess whether traditional dimensions of disadvantage have remained salient in the outcomes of university graduates from the most recent wave of the National Graduate Surveys. Statistical analyses are comprised of descriptive statistics, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, binary logistic regression, and graphical displays of predicted probabilities. This dissertation revisits the debate regarding the viability of human capital, credentialist, and labour market segmentation approaches. The policy implications of the results are also discussed.
