Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In contemporary societies, social inequalities in education remain a persistent issue, profoundly impacting graduate employment outcomes. This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of how educational disparities, influenced by socioeconomic, racial, and geographic factors, affect the transition from higher education to the labour market. By examining the barriers faced by marginalised groups in accessing quality education and subsequent employment opportunities, we aim to highlight systemic issues and propose potential policy solutions. This Special Issue invites contributions that critically analyse the intersection of educational inequalities and graduate employment, using diverse methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks. The objective is to foster a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that perpetuate social inequalities and to identify strategies that can promote equity in education and employment outcomes.
