我国高等教育机会、学业及就业的性别比较

本文通过对1998年和2003年两次全国性高校毕业生调查数据的分析,对我国高等学校学生入学机会、学业成绩和就业结果的性别差异及其变化趋势进行了比较分析,发现男女在学业成绩和就业收入等方面并没有显著差异,但在入学机会和就业率方面女性则明显低于男性,而较低的高考成绩和较少的工作机会则是造成这种差异的重要原因之一。     

Does working during higher education affect students’ academic progression?

This paper examines the effect of working during higher education on academic progression, in terms of number of credits acquired by first-year university students in Italy. We discuss different contrasting hypotheses on the role of employment during university on academic outcomes: the zero-sum perspective, the reconciliation thesis, the positive and the negative selection to work hypotheses. In the empirical part we analyze data from the Eurostudent survey, which collected data on a representative sample of university students who were enrolled in the academic year 2002/03, after the implementation of the ‘Bologna Process’. We use a negative binomial regression model considering work experience as an endogenous multinomial treatment. Results indicate that, conditional on observed covariates (socio-demographic variables, school-related and university-related variables), there is a positive self-selection into employment, especially for low-intensity work. Traditional multivariate regressions show a penalty in academic progression only for high-intensity workers, but once accounted for unobserved heterogeneity also the low-intensity work experience appears to negatively affect academic progression.     

More educated and more equal? A comparative analysis of female education and employment in Japan,China and India

This paper attempts to explore the connections between expanding female education and the participation of women in paid employment in Japan, China and India, three of Asia's largest economies. Analysis based on existing data and literature shows that despite the large expansion in educational access in these countries in the last half century, women have lacked egalitarian labour market opportunities. A combination of social discouragement and individual choice largely explains the withdrawal, non-participation or intermittent female presence in the labour force, notwithstanding increased educational access. In taking stock of these issues and debates across these countries, it is argued that the parallel experiences of women in these countries can be traced back to persistent gender norms which, amongst other things, imply the centrality of marriage and non-market unpaid labour for women. The paper argues that there is a need for gender-sensitive public policy in order for increased education to translate to labour market gains for women, leading to sustainable development outcomes.     

关于"打工子弟"学校存在的合法性思考

打工子弟学校是城市流动人口自发创造的产物，其最初的办学目的和最终的社会效果都在于解决进城务工农民子女的义务教育问题。但是，这个中国社会转型期出现的特殊事物，虽然大量地、长时期地实际存在，却迟迟得不到社会和政府有关部门的认可，其原因复杂多样。《昆明市城区农民工子女教育状况的调查研究》课题组用了一年的时间，调查分析这一社会现象，从中发现许多令人深思和担忧的社会问题。     

认同与容忍:女大学生就业歧视的再生与强化

女大学生对传统社会性别角色的认同,导致她们对就业市场上性别歧视的视而不见、认同与容忍,这种态度再生与强化了性别歧视现象。而女大学生之所以有这种态度,是性别不平等、男性中心的性别文化意识建构的结果。此外,中国妇女解放运动过程中女性主体意识的淡薄,也助长了这种态度。要解决性别歧视问题,女性意识的觉醒首当其冲。

Acquiescence,instructor’s gender bias and validity of student evaluation of teaching

Abstract

The validity of student evaluation of teaching (SET) scores depends on minimum effect of extraneous response processes or biases. A bias may increase or decrease scores and change the relationship with other variables. In contrast, SET literature defines bias as an irrelevant variable correlated with SET scores, and among many, a relevant biasing factor in literature is the instructor’s gender. The study examines the extent to which acquiescence, the tendency to endorse the highest response option across items and bias in the first sense affects students’ responses to a SET rating scale. The study also explores how acquiescence affects the difference in teaching quality (TQ) by instructor’s gender, a bias in the latter sense. SET data collected at a faculty of education in Ontario, Canada were analysed using the Rasch rating scale model. Findings provide empirical support for acquiescence affecting students’ responses. Latent regression analyses show how acquiescence reduces the difference in TQ by instructor’s gender. Findings encourage greater attention to the response process quality as a way to better defend the utility of SET and prevent potentially misleading conclusions from the analysis of SET data.     

Connecting college and work: examining the relationship between students’ college employment experiences and their professional and career attitudes

This study examined the relationship between U.S. students’ employment experiences during college/university and their fourth-year professional career attitudes as defined by the Wabash National Study Professional Success Scale, including obtaining recognition from one’s colleagues for contributions to their field of expertise, having administrative responsibility for the work of others, working in a prestigious occupation, making a lot of money and becoming successful in a business of one’s own. This study considered three types of employment experiences (on-campus work; off-campus work; and completing an internship practicum, field experience, co-op or clinical assignment), as well as the number of hours spent engaged in on-campus and off-campus employment, and whether these measures of student employment were associated with students’ fourth-year professional career attitudes. Results suggest that on-campus work experiences, off-campus work experiences; and completing an internship practicum, field experience, co-op or clinical assignment, as well as the number of hours of employment during college have the potential to influence students’ fourth-year professional career attitudes.     

浅论当代中国妇女就业问题及对策

在我国加快建立社会主义市场经济体制和现代化建设步伐的新形势下,妇女在获得了前所未有的发展机遇的同时,也面临着新的挑战,有许多问题必须解决。当前最突出,也是对妇女自身发展、幸福影响最大的一个问题就是妇女就业问题。对改革开放条件下出现的女性就业问题,人们进行了大量的探讨,在理论上、政策上也取得了不少进展。但从总体上看：无论是在一些观念、认识和理论方面还是在具体运作方面,都存在不少误区。因此,从较高的层次研究、探讨女性就业问题,对于指导女性就业工作,是很有必要的。这篇文章就中国当今社会女性特别是育龄妇女在就业方面所面临的问题,以及其对社会、人口、家庭等各方面的影响做出简要的论述,并提出一些看法。

高校扩招后大学生就业和相对工资调整检验研究

通过运用现有的大规模问卷调查数据和经济计量方法对我国高校扩招后大学毕业生就业和工资调整现状进行检验,有助于客观描述大学生就业市场存在的问题。研究结果显示,影响大学生的关键问题并非就业数量不足,而是就业质量不高。因此,通过完善现有的高等教育管理制度,激励教育供给部门灵敏应对市场需求,鼓励和引导高校自主办学和特色办学,实现大学生劳动力的有效供给,努力提高就业质量,是解决问题的关键所在。     

就业变迁与教育培训的应对
