Book Description
Le financement de son infrastructure et de ses activités de recherche provient des cotisations de ses organisations-membres, d'une subvention d'infrastructure du gouvernement du Québec, de même que des subventions et mandats obtenus par ses équipes de recherche. [...] C'est ainsi qu'en 2019 au Québec, les individus sans diplôme d'études secondaires avaient un taux d'emploi de 33,8 % alors que ceux qui avaient un diplôme d'étude secondaire avaient un taux d'emploi de 54,1 %, ceux qui avaient fait des études postsecondaires un taux d'emploi de 68,9 et ceux qui avaient un diplôme universitaire avaient un taux d'emploi plus de deux fois plus élevé que les personnes [...] Les étudiants L'impact de la pandémie sur le déroulement des études réduira la qualité des stages requis dans bon nombre de disciplines, accroîtra le décrochage à tous les niveaux d'étude et pourra même réduire les inscriptions à tous les niveaux d'étude. [...] Les risques de réduction de l'investissement en capital humain de la génération actuelle d'étudiants sont donc importants et des interventions gouvernementales immédiates sont requises pour atténuer les effets négatifs de la pandémie. [...] La pandémie et le confinement ont créé un risque de perte de capital humain considérable dû à une entrée retardée sur le marché du travail, à une interruption de leur processus d'acquisition d'expérience et à une obsolescence de l'expertise acquise au moment des études et qui se perd, lorsque non utilisée.

Book Description
Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

Book Description
The unconditional basic income (UBI) has attracted renewed attention in academia, as well as in public discussions in recent years, and much has been written on the possible consequences of a UBI. However, this is the first book focusing on the UBI in Europe that offers empirical research findings. It includes a survey on preferences for a UBI in the EU; an assessment of the political feasibility of a UBI in the EU; field studies in the Netherlands and Scotland; and the findings of laboratory experiments. Presenting contributions from Dutch and international researchers, this book provides scientific answers to the question of whether a UBI is desirable and feasible in Europe.

Book Description
The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.
