  • Reflections on the importance of place to the participation of women in New Occupations
    Journal of Occupational Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Lynn Shaw
    Abstract:

    This article presents personal reflections on experiences in constructing a cabin by the sea to explore enablers and constraints affecting women's participation in novel Occupations, and to understand connections between place and occupation. Insights gained as a result of reflection suggest that catalysts for participation in New and unconventional Occupations include elements such as being in a New place away from daily routines as well as feelings of freedom and safety. Resources in a place can support enactment of New skills and help to develop competence. The values espoused in a place can facilitate meaningful and ongoing participation. More research is needed in various settings to better understand how place and context can act as catalysts promoting the occupational participation of women in learning skills, meeting the demands of different Occupations and gaining confidence when choosing to do something novel.

  • Occupation, employment and human welfare
    Journal of Occupational Science, 1995
    Co-Authors: Stephen Toulmin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Current political debates about relations between “work” and “welfare” do not take enough account of the changing character of Occupation. In a world of primary and secondary industries (e.g. farming and manufacturing) working tends to be equated with being employed, and welfare with not having a job. But these relations cannot be generalized. Increasingly, New Occupations involve “self‐employment” (so‐called) and cannot easily be evaluated in terms of employment statistics. Intelligently organized, rather, welfare in the form of institution‐building can serve the shared interests of the whole Community, and so generate valuable social products that provide the Society with some essential infrastructure.

  • How science and technology developments impact employment and education.
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wendy L. Martinez
    Abstract:

    A better understanding of how developments in science and technology influence the creation of New Occupations and subsequent changes in educational programs can help decision makers at all levels of our society. As a result of research and development efforts, innovations are achieved, resulting in the creation of New Occupations and the demand for employees with expertise in these New areas. To fulfill the demand, universities and colleges often revise their programs to address these needs. Several data sources are described in this paper that might help us to explore the relationship between advancements in industry, emerging Occupations, and educational changes over time.

  • New technology and emerging Occupations evidence from asia
    Worlds Poultry Science Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sameer Khatiwada, Mia Kim Veloso
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates the emergence of New Occupations by comparing various classifications of Occupations and predicting probabilities to access them given workers’ characteristics. Systematic comparisons of successive lists of National Classification of Occupations in India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam find that most New job titles are primarily information and communication technology- and data-related positions within professional and associate professional occupational divisions. When utilizing microdata of India and Viet Nam, it was found that the emerging Occupations, defined as occupation groups with New job titles, pay higher wages than none merging Occupations. Further, when using logit models to predict chances of accessing emerging Occupations given workers’ characteristics, the probability of success is greater for workers who are male, tertiary educated, urbanized, and employed in the service sectors. Adjusted predictions by education and sector show that access to emerging Occupations is highest among tertiary-educated workers in services, and that chances of success vary greatly across different age groups.

  • New technology and emerging Occupations evidence from asia
    Social Science Research Network, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sameer Khatiwada, Mia Kim Veloso
    Abstract:

    One of the less well-understood channels through which technology affects labor market outcomes is the creation of New types of work. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of New Occupations by comparing various classifications of Occupations and predicting probabilities to access them given workers’ characteristics. Systematic comparisons of successive lists of National Classification of Occupations in India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam find that most New job titles are primarily information and communication technology- and data-related positions within professional and associate professional occupational divisions. When utilizing microdata of India and Viet Nam, we find that emerging Occupations, defined as occupation groups with New job titles, pay higher wages than nonemerging Occupations. Further, when using logit models to predict chances of accessing emerging Occupations given workers’ characteristics, the probability of success is greater for workers who are male, tertiary educated, urbanized, and employed in the service sectors. Adjusted predictions by education and sector show that access to emerging Occupations is highest among tertiary-educated workers in services, and that chances of success vary greatly across different age groups.

  • The National System of Technical Vocational Education and Training in the Philippines: A review and ideas for reforms
    Protection and Training Institutions for Improving Workforce Integration in Latin America and Asia, 2016
    Co-Authors: Aniceto C. Orbeta, Emmanuel F. Esguerra
    Abstract:

    Skills upgrading and development have both short- and long-term roles to play in capacity-building efforts. Long-term skills development necessarily entails continuous skills upgrading, and this takes on even greater importance in the presence of rapidly changing technology. To the extent that technical vocational education and training (TVET) increases the productivity and incomes of the poor, it also serves the long-term objective of attaining greater equity. In the short-term, skills upgrading enhances the employability of the unemployed and facilitates the transfer to New Occupations of persons who are currently employed but are underproductive. The role of the National System of Technical Vocational Education and Training (NSTVET) in all of these areas is of critical importance.

    Co-Authors: Aniceto C. Orbeta, Emmanuel F. Esguerra
    Abstract:

    A. Introduction Skills upgrading and development have both short and long‐term roles in development. Long‐term development requires continuous upgrading of skills. This takes an even heightened role with rapidly changing technology. To the extent that TVET is able to increase the productivity and income of poor also serves the long‐term equity objective. In the short‐term, skill upgrading also enhances the employability of the unemployed and facilitates transfers to New Occupations of the underproductive currently employed. The role of the National System of Technical Vocational Education and Training in the Philippines in all of these is critical. This paper reviews the state of Philippine National System of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (NSTVET). This is part of the ECLAC/ESCAP Project “Strengthening the capacities of Latin America and Asia to develop and improve labour training systems and to protect workers against unemployment.” The paper is organized as follows. The next section provides a description of the characteristics of an improved NSTVET described in sectoral reviews. This is then followed by a description of the characteristics and analysis of the performance of the existing NSTVET. The concluding section provides a summary of recommendations to improve the system.
