Whittard, Damian; Drew, Hilary; Ritchie, Felix – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
The student workforce plays a substantial part in several low-paying industries such as retail and hospitality, and this has grown over time. However, there has been little recent research.

Kraak, Andre – Journal of Education and Work, 2005
This article presents a critique of the 'high skills' argument which, in the international literature, presents a high skill strategy as an adjunct and necessary condition for the successful expansion of human resources development (HRD) alongside social market institutions and 'joined up' policy. For a developing country such as South Africa,…

Stein, Bruno – 1974
The study examines British public assistance (Supplementary Benefits) and other income maintenance programs for employables.

Boyer, David – 2000
Too many of Britain's workforce lack the skills needed for a knowledge-based economy. To remedy this will require the commitment, in time and resources, of individuals, employers, the education and training infrastructure and the state. Adults with the lowest qualifications have the least access to employer-funded training, especially in small…
