DOWNLOAD EBOOKEmployment law is a complex and ever changing subject, which is particularly influenced by European law. This new edition provides students with fifty questions, answer plans and sample answers that highlight how best to approach the subject in preparation for an exam. Fully revised and updated, it also contains several new questions on the most topical subjects within employment law. Material covered in the new edition includes: recent decisions of both domestic courts and the European Court of Justice changes introduced by the implementation of European Directives, such as the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 and the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 changes made by the Employment Act 2004 and the Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004. For undergraduate students taking an employment law option, this book encourages students to gain the confidence they need for exam success by introducing each subject before looking at several possible exam questions and answers. Students studying for professional qualifications, such as CIPD, will also find this a useful and helpful tool.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor over a decade the UK has been engaged in a radical reform of its vocational education and training. This book contains the first comprehensive description of Functional Analysis, the method developed to define occupational standards and National Vocational Qualifications. It also discusses changes in contemporary work patterns, arguing that a new model of occupational competence is needed - the Job Competence Model. The text is in four parts covering strategy, models, and methodologies and how to apply them in practice. Both authors have both been closely associated with the methods and models described in the book and their personal insights add enormously to the value of the material.
Government, Markets and Vocational Qualifications

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the 1980s and 1990s the elaboration of a reformed system of vocational qualifications was perhaps the most controversial of all the governments efforts to improve the provision of vocational education and training. Based largely on interviews with nearly 100 individuals who were closely involved with these reforms, this book provides an in-depth account of the origins, development and implementation of NVQ and GNVQ policies. In accounting for the progress of vocational qualifications policy three main areas are covered by the book. Firstly the authors look at the origins of the reformed system, then examine the initial implementation of the NVQ and GNVQ policies in the late 1980s and early 1990s and identify the considerable problems that accompanied the reform process. Thirdly, the book focuses on the ways in which the reformed policy was sustained during the 1990s.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe preoccupation with the unemployment-crime link has meant that a number of other concerns about the way that unemployment affects the criminal justice system, and ways of dealing with offenders, have been largely ignored. This book, originally published in 1989, brings together research from a variety of sources relating to unemployment. This research provides much information on the practical, day-to-day experiences of dealing with offenders at a time of high unemployment and the related policy implications.

Youth Unemployment and State Intervention

ISBN-13: 1000629953
DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the early 1980s, against the background of chronic unemployment in Britain, the particular plight of young people had come to be identified as a subject for special concern. Anxieties were expressed, as they were in the 1930s, as a twin concern for a waste of the nation’s resources and for the demoralization of youth, leading potentially to anti-social behaviour. Originally published in 1982, this volume of essays identifies a number of key issues in the pattern of state response to youth unemployment which had evolved in the inter-war and post-war periods. The contributors discuss a number of related themes, such as how the problem has been defined and created as a kind of ‘moral panic’, and how contemporary measures recapitulate the rhetoric and policies of pre-war interventions. They examine the relationship between youth unemployment measures and the education sector, the responses of the trade unions, and also consider how young people themselves respond to special programmes. A critical assessment is made of the further education elements in the special measures: in particular, the question is asked: do these young people need ‘social and life skills’ training? The book charts the changing nature of the state response to youth unemployment since 1974, and stresses throughout the inappropriate nature of ‘temporary’ amelioration of a long-term, even permanent, problem.
