{"product_id":"entering-society-isabelle-harbrecht-9783958260962","title":"Entering Society","description":"With the late twentieth-century reform of the labour market in China, jobs ceased to be guaranteed by the government, and higher education became more and more a requirement for even low-level positions. A surplus of academics and a lack of skilled workers are consequences of these developments - yet vocational education, a clear solution to this problem, has had a persistently negative reputation as a second-class education, suitable only for weak students whose results are too low for an academic middle school. Against this background, Entering Society analyses the social environments, personalities, values and perceptions of vocational education students over three years in Shanghai. The results show how adolescents stigmatized by society view themselves, their education, their identities and their futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabelle Harbrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958260969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958260962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wurzburg University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.67d","brand":"Isabelle Harbrecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446444667135,"sku":"9783958260962","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5ab26e1-f33e-4c39-86ec-f5ad80098e93.jpg?v=1777224676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entering-society-isabelle-harbrecht-9783958260962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
