Meta-functional Criteria and School-to-Work Transition

The objective of this article is to propose, on the basis of economic theory, a conceptual framework for the analysis of the behaviour of agents involved in school-to-work transition. The basic assumption is that school-to-work transition is a strategic process. In this framework, different observable behaviours can be explained. Two main results are obtained. First, I propose an optimal strategy of school-to-work transition. By contrast, the principles of this reference strategy can explain some causes of failure in observable school-to-work transition processes. Secondly, school-to-work transition depends crucially on meta-functional recruitment criteria. For educational and vocational guidance, this implies that meta-functional criteria implemented on the labour market should be systematically taken into account, and that considering individual meta-functional profiles is crucial.
