Journal of Career Development
Journal of Career Development provides the professional, the public, and policymakers with the latest in career development theory, research and practice, focusing on the impact that theory and research have on practice.
Connecting People with Jobs
Giving people better opportunities to participate actively in the labour market improves well-being. It also helps countries to cope with rapid population ageing by mobilising more fully each country’s potential labour resources. However, weak labour market attachment of some groups in society reflects a range of barriers to working or moving up the jobs ladder. How can under-represented groups in the labour market be given better work incentives and decent work opportunities and how can their employability be improved? Each country report in the series Connecting People with Jobs provides an analysis and assessment of what are the best policies for fostering more inclusive labour markets that help all groups in society to move into productive and rewarding jobs.
New Technology, Work and Employment
Focused on the changing nature of work and employment and its relationship to technology and technological developments, New Technology, Work and Employment promotes enhanced analysis of the shifting contours of work and employment. Our journal encourages a critical understanding of the multiple dimensions of technological change in the workplace, the labour market, and employment more generally.
