The proportion of participants gaining employment after involvement ranged from 11%to50%0%, dependent on characteristics of participants, such as 'job-readiness', as well as wider labour market context.
They also find a relationship between the labour market context (employment protection legislation, level of unemployment benefits and union bargaining power) and the likelihood of mismatch.
Field-of-study mismatch is responsive to the broader labour market context; it is not an individual outcome or one that results uniquely from workers' choice.
As some results reflect findings in other countries (such as Germany, Finland and the UK, see: Lillie & Greer, 2007), comparative studies could examine what role a different labour market context has on different commodified relationships.
What was the impact of these US-style welfare reforms in the rather different labour market context offered by Australia, where minimum wages are comparatively high (see OECD, 2012) and employment rates for mothers of pre-school-age children are comparatively low (see OECD, 2007)?
When we explore the semantic realization of contextual structures by means of rhetorical-relational complexes along the lines suggested here and illustrated by reference to Text 1 (see the analysis in Figure 8), it becomes possible to adjust the division of descriptive labour between context and semantics.
The joint occurrence of the transferability of skills in a given field and the demand for workers in that field has not been tested empirically, as most field-of-mismatch studies typically ignore the broader labour market context in which field-of-study mismatch takes place.
13 Furthermore, we argue that it is very difficult to understand the changing impact of educational credentials on psychiatric disorders without understanding the significance and role of education in the broader political and labour market context.
Because of the known effect of labour ward context, organisational ethos, and practitioner preference on women's decision-making about interventions in childbirth, future studies should include more in-depth qualitative work.
One implication is that the impacts of such reforms may generalize reasonably well across countries and labour market contexts.
