How do young people envision their occupational futures? What do teenagers feel about their schooling and after-school work, and how do these experiences affect their passage to adult work? These are the questions that psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and sociologist Barbara Schneider posed in their five-year study of adolescents. The results provide an unprecedented window on society's future through which we can glimpse how today's youth are preparing themselves for the lives they will lead in the decades to come.

Scale-Up in Education, Volume 1: Ideas in Principle examines the challenges of _scaling up_ from a multidisciplinary perspective. It brings together contributions from disciplines that routinely take promising innovations to scale, including medicine, business, engineering, computing, and education. Together the contributors explore appropriate methods for estimating the effects of innovations in larger, more diverse settings and provide theories and models to guide the design of innovations most likely to remain viable at large scales.

Moreover, not all parents have the same resources or opportunities to act on the educational expectations they have for their children.This book examines the resources available to parents and the actions parents can take to further their children's education.

Although today's family has changed, the workplace has not and the resulting one-size-fits-all workplace has become profoundly mismatched to the needs of an increasingly diverse and varied workforce. As changes in the composition of the workforce exert new demands on employers, considerable attention is being paid to how workplaces can be structured more flexibly to achieve the goals of employers and employees.
Workplace Flexibility brings together sixteen essays authored by leading experts in economics, demography, political science, law, sociology, anthropology, and...

Das in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark gestiegene Qualifikationsniveau (potentieller) weiblicher Fuhrungsnachwuchskrafte nachweisbar z.B. in entsprechenden Akademikeranteilen von Frauen hat bisher nicht zu einer Erhohung des traditionell geringen Frauenanteils in Managementpositionen der Wirtschaft gefuhrt. Dies gilt insbesondere fur das Top-Management von Grossunternehmen, obwohl zuletzt gerade dort in erheblichem Umfang Frauenforderungsprogramme durchgefuhrt wurden. Diese Arbeit geht den moglichen Ursachen nach. Zentrum der Untersuchung ist eine empirische Studie: Es wurden mannliche und...
