Institutions and collective actors in the provision of training : historical and cross-national comparisons / Pepper D. Culpepper and Kathleen Thelen -- When traditions change and virtues become obstacles : skill formation in Britain and Germany / Steffen Hillmert -- Why does the German apprenticeship system work? / Christian Dustmann and Uta Schoenberg -- What do we know about training at work? / Philip J. O'Connell and Jean-Marie Jungblut -- Qualifications and the returns to training across the life course / Walter Mueller and Marita Jacob -- Lack of training : employment opportunities for low-skilled persons from a sociological and microeconomic perspective / Heike Solga -- Vocational and professional learning : skill formation between formal and situated learning / Hans Gruber, Christian Harteis and Monika Rehrl -- How to compare the performance of VET systems in skill formation / Martin Baethge, Frank Achtenhagen and Lena Arends.

There are marked changes in skill requirements in today's modern societies, and major questions about the processes of skill formation remain unresolved. What do we mean when we talk about skills, qualifications and competencies? Are market economies and firms systematically under-investing in skills? This book addresses these questions by first looking at what we mean when we talk about 'skills'. Secondly, it looks at the institutions where skills are acquired, before finally considering the provision of and access to training. It provides an up-to-date review of theories and research on skill formation in psychology, economics, political science and sociology, and addresses issues of skill learning and measurement, institutional and policy differences between countries, the issue of skill formation across a lifetime and disparities between socio-economic groups.
