Barrierer og muligheder for arbejdskraftsubstitution i små og mellemstore virksomheder

Det danske arbejdsmarked vil i 2020’erne være præget af mangel på faglærte og specialister og overudbud af akademisk arbejdskraft. Artiklen undersøger mulighederne for at løse dette kompetence-mismatch gennem substitution. Makroøkonomiske analyser anslår substitutionselasticiteten i forhold til at kunne vurdere de samfundsøkonomiske konsekvenser af mismatch-problemer. Men der er meget lidt forskning, der belyser betingelser for og erfaringer med substitution i mikro-perspektiv. Artiklen konstruerer en teoretisk forståelse af substitution, der knytter sig til brugen af forskellige fleksibilitetsformer på virksomhedsniveau. Dernæst analyseres et komparativt casestudie med otte jyske små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV) fra områderne omkring Skive og Esbjerg. Analysen viser, at strukturelle forhold som størrelse, teknologi og branchetype har betydning for virksomhedernes substitutionskapacitet. Men et ligeså vigtigt forhold handler om human ressource ledelse (HR) og tilgang til rekruttering. Nogle virksomheder har en åben tilgang til rekruttering, der – kombineret med intern oplæring – giver mulighed for at ansætte kandidater med en anderledes kompetenceprofil. Andre virksomheder har en mere snæver tilgang og går ikke på kompromis. Endelig bekræfter analysen, hvad også andre undersøgelser viser, nemlig at social kapital i stigende grad er vigtigt på arbejdsmarkedet. Hvis en virksomhed har et godt personligt kendskab og tillid til en jobsøger, betyder de faglige kompetencer med andre ord mindre

Migrants’ Work Environment in the Danish Construction Sector: a Scoping Study

This study of existing research maps out what is known about the work environment of migrant workers employed in the construction sector in Denmark. Through the systematic approach offered by a scoping study and using two conceptual models identifying determinants of worker health and safety as analytical frameworks, we identify an overall paucity of research concerned specifically with the health and safety of migrants. A broader literature shows that migrants are vulnerable workers who are channeled into 3D jobs and face job insecurity. Migrants also face poor treatment and segregation. We conclude by identifying 10 gaps in the current literature, including a lack of valid evidence concerning accidents and risks

Nordic Specialist Course in Palliative Medicine: Evaluation and Impact on the Development of Palliative Medicine in the Nordic Countries: A Survey among Participants from Seven Courses 2003-2017

Background: The five Nordic Associations for palliative medicine (PM) have since 2003 organized a common specialist course for six weeks in two years. Aim: To describe the course: participants, evaluations, impact on participants' careers, and on the development of PM in the Nordic countries. Methods: Information on participants taken from the course archive and national registries. A web survey sent to graduates from the courses 2003–2013 (n = 150) and 2013–2017 (n = 72). Results: Mean age at course start was 46.9 years; 66% were women. Mean overall evaluation score 5.7 (range 5.4–6.0, max 7.0). Survey response rate 84% (n = 186); 80% of respondents were working in PM, the majority as leaders, >90% engaged in teaching PM. About 40% were active in PM associations, lobbying, and guideline development. Conclusion: The Nordic Specialist Course in PM has had a profound impact on the participants' postcourse careers, influencing the development of PM in the Nordic countries.publishedVersio
