Obiettivo Two INTAS and three NIS teams will investigate the character of the mismatches between the education systems and labor requirements that are responsible for the persistence of high levels of youth unemployment and under-employment throughout the new market economies. The research will interrogate three hypotheses: weak labor demand, wrong skills, and 'partial Americanization' which, if true, will have led to education currently operating according to different principles than the main labor market actors. The project will be based in specimen regions of three NIS: Almaty (Kazakhstan), Bishkek (Kyrgystan) and Samarkand (Uzbekistan), and will involve interviews with representatives of balanced selections of 20 firms per region, and questionnaire surveys of the young (aged up to 30) employees in these firms. The findings will have immediate applications via education policies and labor market interventions in each of the participating NIS, and will also be of wider interest throughout the CIS and the enlarged EU if, as now seems likely, standard remedies for youth unemployment are based on a false diagnosis of the character of the breakdown in education-labor market relationships in the new (and in some of the older) market economies.
