Education and Economic Development: A Social and Statistical Analysis

by Daniela-Mihaela Neamtu

Overview

This book explores how education influences economic and social development. With a particular focus on the role of higher education and universities, policies that promote education are analysed to highlight how economic development can be encouraged (and hindered) through policymaking. Comparative trends within Europe and Romania are examined to provide insight into the different ways in which education has evolved across the continent. The relationship between levels of education and employability, personal development, and professional development is also discussed.

This book aims to examine how education policies can maximise economic growth and social development. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic development and education economics.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

This book is very courageous as it maps out a new world, connecting the level of education with economic growth in Romania, giving an entire new perspective. Decoupling growth from consumption and providing an alternative, foster knowledge via a new framework of understanding, giving insights to new society models. The libertarian touch on the educational perspective, balanced off by institutionalised governmental approach gives a full view about the links between economics and education and invites for further research. - (Researcher Razvan Hoinaru ”Queen Mary” University of London, UK.)

In today’s taxing environment of burnt-out teachers, publish-or-perish culture in academia, and widespread cultural transformations, where can educators find the energy to inspire new generations? This book aims to not merely help readers survive the most stressful moments, but builds a panoramic vista of thought and learning. In a situation where more and more students and workers leaveRomania to find work abroad, the author’s integral approach to education is refreshingly optimistic. - (PhD Sid Lukkassen ”Radboud” University Nijmegen, Netherlands.)
