Summary

This book explores an issue of vital importance: the growing disjunction between education and paid work in advanced industrial economies, and shows how beneath the rhetoric of a 'healthy economy' lies a much more complex reality of underemployment and wasted talent.

The Education-Jobs Gap Summary

The Education-Jobs Gap: Underemployment Or Economic Democracy? by D W Livingstone

According to Ivar Berg's performance criteria, over half of the U.S. workforce is now underemployed. Using analysis based on U.S. and Canadian surveys of work and learning experiences and other documental data, author David Livingstone exposes the myth of the learning enterprise and argues that the major problem in education-work relations is not education but the mismatch between work and worker.
