TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the experiences from nine in-depth case studies (undertaken as part of the “WorkAble” project) examining the transitions of (disadvantaged) young people: from compulsory school to further education; from education/vocational training to the labour market; and from unemployment/outside the labor market to employment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the recent empirical literature on capabilities, labour markets and education in Europe, using examples from recent European projects inspired by, or based on, the Capability Approach and offering interesting examples for those who wish to make use of this approach for future investigation in this field.

TL;DR: The authors investigated economic, social and governance links between the coalfields and their cities, and assessed whether the co-ields are reviving in their own right or are more likely to become residential hinterlands for newly resurgent cities.

TL;DR: This article argued that migration is more closely associated with occupation than with imbalances in the demand and supply of labour, with professional workers displaying far higher rates of migration than manual workers, and argued that the labour market problems faced by manual workers such as miners are unlikely to be alleviated by labour migration.
