| Abstract: | This paper examines recent developments in general and vocational training and its links to the labour and product market in five contrasting countries, Denmark, Canada, Germany, Korea and the USA. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of vocational education and training (VET). According to results, differences in industrial relations, welfare states, income distribution and product markets are the main reason for the persistent high level of diversity in vocational training systems. In other words, in the coordinated market economies, the modernisation of vocational training is seen as a contribution to innovation in the economy, while in liberal market economies, it is seen as a siding into which weaker pupils can conveniently be shunted. |
