Abstract

This paper focuses on the processes of school-to-work transitions in a selected group of countries from South-eastern Europe (SEE), namely: Bosnia and Herzegovina; Croatia; Montenegro; North Macedonia; Serbia; and, Slovenia. Each of these countries display the same roots of development in their educational systems: however, due to their transition and integration processes within the European Union, they implemented different concepts of reforms within their educational systems. In addition, the challenges of youth employability are a common problem for each of the selected countries, and the effectiveness of the processes of school-to-work-transition varies across the countries. By using panel data and multiple linear regression models, this paper estimates the impact of different educational levels on youth employability and changes in the rates of NEET population (aged 15–24) in the selected group of countries over the period 2009 to 2019. The results suggest that the impact of the attained level of education has an ambiguous effect on the rates of youth employment; moreover, the relationship with changes in NEET rates are statistically significant and negative in most of the selected group of countries.

教育对青年就业能力的影响:以东南欧国家为例

本文侧重于东南欧选定的一组国家的学校到工作的过渡过程，即：波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那；克罗地亚；黑山；北马其顿；塞尔维亚；以及斯洛文尼亚。这些国家中的每一个都在其教育体系中表现出相同的发展根源：然而，由于它们在欧洲联盟内的过渡和一体化进程，它们在其教育系统中实施了不同的改革概念。此外，青年就业能力的挑战是每个选定国家的共同问题，从学校到工作过渡过程的有效性因国家而异。通过使用面板数据和多元线性回归模型，本文估计了2009年至2019年期间，不同教育水平对选定国家组青年就业能力的影响以及新技术教育人口（15-24岁）比率的变化。研究结果表明，受教育程度对青年就业率的影响不明确；此外，在大多数选定的国家组中，与NEET比率变化的关系在统计上是显著的，并且是负的。
