Description for Learning and Work in the Risk Society: Lessons for the Labour Markets of Europe from Eastern Germany

Based on a comparative analysis of education and work during political and labour market changes of the transition to post-communism, the authors argue that the social polarizations and erosion of the "dual system" of education and training in Eastern Germany may portend the future for the West. Series: Anglo-German Foundation. Num Pages: 202 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1DFG; JHBL; JNRV; KCF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 18. Weight in Grams: 438.
Based on a unique comparative analysis of the education and work experiences of those who lived through the political and labour market changes of the transition to post-communism, the authors argue that, far from catching up with the rest of Germany, the social polarisations and erosion of the traditional 'dual system' of vocational education and training in Eastern Germany may portend the future for the West. The issues raised have considerable resonances with the problems and contradictions which have beset British education and training and labour market policy over the last decade.
