Much of the work of economists in Britain over the last twenty years on the relationship between education and work has concentrated on the problems of vocational training and the failings of the British system. The debate has beenstrongly influenced by the structure of the national system of vocational training, and especially by the decline of apprenticeship. For many decades, this had provided the main path to skilled jobs in industry and construction, and it was one of the few intermediate level skills that was recognised as transferable between firms. © 1997 AnnetteJoberr, Catherine Marry, Lucie Tanguy and Helen Rainbird selection and editorial matter; individual chapters, the contributors.
