Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this fascinating new study, some of the leading researchers in the field examine how educational qualifications affect the occupational outcomes of men and women, in thirteen countries. The book presents a wealth of rich and detailed information on educational institutions in these countries, and offers rigorous statistical analyses of the associations between qualifications and occupations. The data reveals marked differences between countries in how education shapes occupational attainment, and indicates that these differences are related, in very systematic ways, to the institutional characteristics of school systems.
MoreLong description:
This fascinating comparative study presents the latest research into the value of qualifications for the attainment of first job, and in securing employment. A team of some of the world's leading scholars in the field examine the ways in which educational qualifications affect the occupational outcomes of men and women in thirteen countries. The book features chapters on each of these countries, together with a lead chapter which integrates them, and analyses them comparatively. The authors present a wealth of rich and detailed information on educational institutions in these various countries, as well as reports on rigorous statistical analyses of the associations between qualifications and occupations. The data reveals marked differences between countries in how education shapes occupational attainment, and indicates that these differences are related, in very systematic ways, to the institutional characteristics of school systems. The book offers a range of insightful policy-oriented observations, for example that vocational education is valuable in countries where training is occupationally specific, but is of little value where the curricula are general in content.
excellent overviews of trends and isues in the countries concerned ... Mulle and Shavit have taken great pains to ensure the comparability of the data and the analyses ... They have come closer to a cross-nationally comparable analysis of the transition from school to work than any previous study based on so many countries. ... Shavit and Muller have achieved an important milestone in research on cross-national differences in school-to-work transitions.
