Being enlightened by Richard Florida’s seminal work on the creative class, this paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of higher education institutions to cultivate a workforce with utilised skills that meet the demand of labour market in the context of sustainable socio-economic development. Based on the macro and micro data generated from Eurostat and the Europe Labour Force Survey (EU LFS), the supply and demand condition of early graduates and the mismatch rate between early graduates’ education backgrounds and actual jobs they undertook are estimated by a multinomial logit model in seven European countries. The findings suggest that, (1) higher education has a significant impact on the formation of specific sustainability competencies that contribute to the development of creative economy; (2) many creative workers also have a high probability of finding jobs that are not commensurate with their qualifications; (3) the effect of higher education policies appears to be heterogeneous across different countries. Therefore, we argue that policy makers should increase awareness about connecting internal measures of education system (e.g., course design) directly to aims and scopes of sustainable socio-economic development scenarios, and joint efforts shall be made to reduce such mismatch rates for particular subjects that are identified by regular monitoring procedures or programmes on the basis of full consideration of interests and reasonable requirements across different countries in Europe.

Many publications of Russian and foreign researchers tell about need of critical reconsideration of programs of marketing education. The priority in this process is taken by a problem of reduction of the content of vocational training of marketing specialists in compliance with the requirements of labor market. The cause is that, on the one hand, the demand of graduates is observed by labor market, on the other hand - employers are not quite satisfied with the level of their competence. Results of research of a demand of marketing specialists by labor market of the Ulyanovsk region and poll of the high school teachers participating in vocational training of marketing specialists about the formed competences and personal characteristics of future marketing specialists are presented in this article. In the article the attention to a question of is also paid what professional knowledge, abilities and personal qualities is not enough for the young specialists in marketing who just left walls of higher education institution, ways of overcoming of barriers "good theoretical base - bad orientation to practical activities" within training are given in higher education institution. In the conclusion the conclusion about what "portrait" of the modern marketing specialist who left walls of higher education institution is drawn.

Topicality The relevance of the research of the economic interaction of the labor market and human resources in the healthcare sector is growing today, as it is necessary to involve all interested parties to effective interaction, to ensure the flexibility of higher and vocational education system by adjustment of labor training to the needs of employers. Aim and tasks. The goal of the study is to analyze the interaction of labor markets and education, identify the main disadvantages of this interaction and develop proposals to increase its productivity in the context of meeting the needs and interests of the subjects of these markets. Research results. The interaction of labor markets and educational services can be considered as coordinated behavior of entities engaged in economic activity in these markets in order to balance the supply and demand for skilled labor, create conditions for socio-economic growth of the national economy through the reproduction of human capital and increasing the competitiveness of the workforce. The economic interaction of the labor market and the human resources in the healthcare sector of Ukraine has been analyzed. An assessment of the competitiveness of the field of higher medical education and its institutions in the context of the economic interaction has been carried out. The level of the economic interaction of the educational services market and the labor market has been determined. The process of harmonization of the labor market of EU countries and Ukraine has been investigated. The main causes and disadvantages of the economic interaction of the educational services and the labor markets have been identified. The directions of improvement of the forecasting process of the labor market development as measures of improving the productivity of the studied processes are suggested. The approach to determining the competitive position of a higher medical education institution using a qualimetric approach has been considered, where educational and pedagogical work, personnel, scientific work and international activity are chosen as parameters. The main factor by the parameter of educational and pedagogical work is the medical work, which includes the following evaluation criteria: the number of university clinics, consultative and surgical activity of employees during the year, participation in the creation of clinical protocols, the availability of medical qualification among the teachers, technology acquisition of practical skills. According to the results of competitiveness assessment of higher education institutions, it is proposed to determine the following levels: critical (low); sufficient (average); high (higher than average); excellent (very high). Conclusion. The results of the study indicate an unsatisfactory level of the economic interaction of the labor market and the human resources in the healthcare sector in Ukraine, which is manifested in an imbalance in supply and demand for specialists in the relevant specialties, the low percentage of employed graduates of HEI, the high share of unemployed with higher education and the absence of direct connection between the amount of expenses on the education and the quality of educational services, the imperfection in the information support system and the poor state of forecasting processes in the main indicators of functioning and development of the labor market.

This paper seeks to prefer solutions to the problems of limited access of African women to higher education in the area of science and technology. As a matter of fact, African women not only suffer from limited access to higher education, but due to supply and demand factors, are also prevented from pursuing those courses like their male counterparts at that level. In analyzing the effect of the supportive or limiting factors on women’s access to science and technology courses, the author is of the opinion that for African countries to attain a very high profile in science and technology, they have to mobilize the genius of their womenfolk, sharpen their policy measures and seek the support and cooperation of the international agencies. Furthermore, African countries should consider the formation of country and gender – specific programmes as important ingredients to the successful implementation of women access to science in the higher education scheme. And finally, though Africa has several alternatives to encourage women’s greater participation in science and technology courses in higher institutions, expansion policies which are complemented with cost-reducing and benefit-raising strategies are favoured.

The article investigates the main reasons that hinder the development of higher education and science in Ukraine in the present conditions. Among these reasons, the author stated the following: the gap between secondary and higher education in the country, as well as higher education and scientific and technical sphere; high percentage of migration of the population of Ukraine; insufficient level of funding for research; lack of partnerships between business and higher education institutions, which as a result contributes to the imbalance of supply and demand in the labor market, etc. The author proposes the directions of development of higher education and science in Ukraine, which solves the existing problems in the field of modern higher education and science in the present conditions. Special attention is given to the need to provide universal design in education and science for low-mobility groups (in particular, people with disabilities), as well as to ensure accessibility to social infrastructure (in particular, educational and scientific institutions). It is emphasized that in the conditions of modern development of civilization, when special attention is paid to the protection of human rights and the citizen in all spheres of life, it is advisable to introduce more effective measures in the field of education and science for people with disabilities and other representatives of the low-mobility population groups. The legislative framework regulating the requirements for creating unimpeded access to social infrastructure facilities for low-mobility groups of population is analyzed. It is noted that Ukraine does not comply with these requirements, although construction in the country is quite active. It is emphasized that Ukraine, as a developed European country, also needs to take care of everyone's rights and provide accessible education and science.

The paper analyzes the correlation between supply and demand for skilled labour on the rural labour market. The paper defines skilled workers as those having tertiary professional education. The empirical basis for the research is constituted by the Labour Force Survey data between 2005 and 2015. It has been proved that in this period the supply of the skilled labour was steadily on the increase that was determined by the growth of both the number and share of people with higher education. The demand for the skilled labour of rural workers showed slower growth rates that resulted in an increasing gap between supply and demand. The research proves that education and qualification of rural workers are being underutilized, and the scale of education-occupation mismatch has been rather big. The most obvious contradiction between education underutilization and its non-purpose use - when people do not work in accordance with their specialization - refer to the workers with technical and agricultural training.

Bargaining Approach

AbstractThe generosity of maternity pay has been shown to be an important factor for mothers’ attachment to the labour market. In the UK, we can observe that the generosity of maternity leaves across universities varies greatly: some universities top up the statutory maternity pay with longer and better paid leaves, others are either less generous or only entitle academic women to the legal minimum. We want to understand why this is the case. Therefore, this article examines both theoretically and empirically how higher education employers decide about the generosity of the offered occupational maternity pay. We use a bargaining approach to model the supply and demand side of generous maternity benefits in universities with different characteristics and test the implications with a generalised negative binomial model. We find that universities’ income does not account for this variation while differences in terms of costs and benefits for employers do. Most importantly, our results show that more research intense universities with a higher previous share of female professors provide more generous maternity pay. We offer a range of explanations for these findings.
