Inhalt: Applying work by Green and Henseke (in IZA J Labor Policy 5(1):14, 2016a), this study examines changes in the German graduate labour market in the twenty-first century. To do so, it deploys a new statistically derived indicator of graduate jobs, based on job skill requirements obtained from worker-reported task data in the German Employment Surveys 2006 and 2012. As in previous work, the resulting classifier explains differences in graduate labour market outcomes better than existing methods and can be applied in a range of contexts where intelligence on graduate destinations is desired. It is supplied in the appendix of this study. Despite the expansion of higher educational attainment between 1999 and 2012, my analysis indicates a rising excess demand for graduate labour. Following key findings emerge: Graduate skills are required beyond the narrow range of professions. Work tasks associated with cognitive skills use are key determinants of higher education requirements on the job. The proportion of graduates in the age bracket 25-34 has risen among men from 14.7 to 18.9% and from 13.3 to 22.5% among women between 1999 and 2012. Young women have become the group with greatest level of higher education in the labour market. The growing supply of graduate labour in the age bracket 25-34 was surpassed by the expansion of employment in graduate jobs. The employment share of graduate jobs shifted by 17 percentage points to almost 30% among young women and by 11 percentage points to 28% among young men. Among young female graduates, the incidence of underemployment fell to 22% between 1999 and 2012; roughly comparable to the level among males at the same ages. Prime aged female graduates, however, experience above average rates of underemployment. A sharp rise of the pay premium associated with higher education among men contrasts with stagnating wage differentials among women. The pay penalty associated with underemployment has not changed statistically significantly.

Inhalt: Regional integration in ASEAN, within the framework of ASEAN Community has three pillars. ASEAN Socio-Culture Community as one of the pillars brought the vision of equality of access toward education aligned with the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically, integration higher education is institutionally spearheaded by the ASEAN University Network (AUN) established in 1995, which currently is still the only legitimate HEI’s platform under the ASEAN Secretariat. This paper discusses the question on the exclusivity of AUN membership that had created the narratives of doubt among the non-member universities of AUN. The research is conducted with the qualitative methods in triangulation design based on the primary data taken from in-depth interview and structured focus group discussion (FGD), supplemented by the desk study on current research on the area of regional integration and higher education management. The result presented the positive view on the question posed in the research. AUN is adapting to change, with several universities are now holding the status of associate membership. AUN also stated that they are under the preparation of making scheme and procedure of new membership application. As a unique space of integration in ASEAN, AUN is continuously adjusting to accommodate the needs of the greater audience.

Inhalt: Government of India effectively moving in the way of successive path in advancing gender
parity in higher education According to the most recent All India Survey on Higher Education it
is only about 3% fewer women enroll in higher education comparing to men. This indicates the
tremendous achievement of government of India. The fundamental intention behind is
empowering women in the entire sector’s.
University Grants Commission of India, Ministry of
higher education in India believes that a safe, secure and cohesive learning climate
is an
ineluctable precondition to quality education and research in Higher Education Institutes. It
should be the prime concern of educational administrators across the country to ensure that
students are safeguarded against attacks, threats and accidents, both man-
made and natural. It’s
just like the formula of SSS (safety, security and study). And also there is a suggestion by the
government of India to all the higher educational institutes, all universities may to have their
ordinance of their own and relevant statutory provisions to ensure the directions contained in the
guidelines are implemented in the best interests of student community.

Gender equality in German universities: vernacularising the battle for the best brains

Inhalt: We examine how global pressures for competitiveness and gender equality have merged into a discourse of ‘inclusive excellence’ in the twenty-first century and shaped three recent German higher education programmes. After placing these programmes in the larger discourse about gender inequalities, we focus on how they adapt current global concerns about both being ‘the best’ and increasing ‘gender equality’ in locally specific ways, a process called vernacularisation. German equality advocates used ‘meeting international standards’ as leverage, drew on self-governance norms among universities, used formal gender plans as mechanisms to direct change, and set up competition to legitimate intervention. This specific incremental policy path for increasing women's status in German universities also mobilised the national funding agency and local gender equality officers as key actors, and placed particular emphasis on family friendliness as the expression of organisational commitment to gender equality.

Inhalt: The students are the reasons for the establishment of learning institutions which are the key factors to quality education. At present, the mission of the RTU-GS is to produce world-class professionals and leaders to meet the multifarious expectations and needs of society. Since 1977 up to presents, no one has ever conducted a research on graduate students' assessment of the Graduate School and its student services. It is in this end that the researchers brought about an exit interview to Graduate School graduating students.This study used the causal comparative design and had 80 respondents representing the RTU graduating students' population for school year 2012-2013. The respondents were described as to gender, age, GS course and number of year of degree completion.From the salient findings of the study, the researchers concluded that the GS graduating students are very satisfied with the personal impact of education, the development of their professional skill, and the personnel and various offices. The GS students suggest the fixed format on thesis writing, special lanes or windows for business transaction and the maintenance of good interpersonal relationship between school personnel and students. The overall rating of the GS students of the education is very satisfactory. Finally, there are significant differences in the assessment of GS students by personnel and offices.
Social class, gender and the pace of academic life: What kind of solution is slow?

Inhalt: "Ausgangspunkt meines Beitrages ist die wachsende Geschwindigkeit des akademischen Lebens. Wie auch aus den anderen Beiträgen deutlich wird, die diesem Themenschwerpunkt zugehören, gewinnt die Entschleunigungs-Bewegung, die sich der zeitgenössischen Geschwindigkeitsobsession entgegenstellt, auch in der Universität zunehmend an Bedeutung. Mit meinem Artikel schlage ich vor, innezuhalten und genauer anzusehen, welche Lösung Entschleunigung für die aktuelle Krise erbringt. Rückgreifend auf (auto-) biografisches Material und auf Beispiele der Populärkultur versuche ich zu zeigen, dass in der Entschleunigungs-Bewegung Klassen- und Genderdynamiken wirksam bleiben und dass auch ältere Inklusions- und Exklusionsmuster reproduziert werden. Im Besonderen werden spezifische Selbstkonzepte naturalisiert, in deren Zentrum ein individualistisches Selbst steht, das sich für die Zukunft plant und investiert." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "My starting point for this article is the increasing pace of academic life. As the other articles in this special section evidence, the Slow movement, which seeks to challenge our contemporary obsession with speed, is being taken up by many in order to intervene into 'fast academia'. However, in this article, I suggest we should pause and question what kind of a solution this offers to the current crisis of speed. Working auto/biographically and using examples drawn from popular culture, I argue that Slow is both classed and gendered, re/producing wider patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Specifically, I suggest that Slow naturalises a particular relationship to self which requires not just stability of employment but an individualist way of being, constituting selves that calculate and invest in them-selves for the future."

Inhalt: "Studierende im Lehramt werden in ihrem künftigen Beruf einen maßgeblichen Beitrag zur politischen Sozialisation der nachwachsenden Generation leisten. Es ist deshalb geboten, ihre politisch-demokratischen Orientierungen zu erkunden. Die in einem standardisierten Fragebogen erfassten Indikatoren verweisen dabei auf Ambivalenz und Indifferenz. Zwar ist ihr politisches Interesse ausgeprägt und die politische Selbstverortung neigt nach links. Zugleich aber sind demokratische Prinzipien nur bei knapp der Hälfte hinreichend verankert. Multivariate Analysen zeigen die Kovariation dieser Aspekte. Hinzu treten spezifische Effekte des Geschlechts und der Semesterzahl, andere Merkmale wie Herkunft und Studien spielen eine geringere Rolle." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "In their future profession, students studying to become teachers make a significant contribution to the political socialization of the younger generation. Therefore it is important to explore their political democratic values. The indicators covered in a standardized questionnaire point to an ambivalence and indifference. Although these students have a pronounced political interest and a self-positioning leaning to the left, democratic principles are sufficiently deep-seated in only half of them. Multivariate analysis shows the co-variation of these aspects. Additionally, there are specific effects of gender and the number of semesters studied. Other characteristics such as origin and the subjects studied play a minor role." (author's abstract)

Reform von oben: die DFG wagt einen neuen Anlauf Richtung Gleichstellung

Inhalt: "Wie soll die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern an den Hochschulen künftig vorangetrieben
werden? Die Mehrheit der Mitglieder der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft hat dazu Gleichstellungsstandards vereinbart, die beispielsweise darauf abzielen, den Anteil von Professorinnen zu steigern. Der Zeitpunkt ist zwar günstig, doch Anlass für zu viel Euphorie besteht noch nicht – denn wenn alte Leitbilder durch neue ersetzt werden sollen, ist mit Widerständen zu rechnen." [Autorenreferat]
Inhalt: "How should universities promote gender equality so that both genders have equal rights at every
level in the future? The majority of the members of the German Research Foundation (DFG) have agreed to a standard of equality which aims at – for example – increasing the number of female professors. Even though this happens at a favourable moment, there is no reason for too much excitement – if old principles are overcome, resistance is to be expected." [author's abstract]
