"Youth unemployment is a problem relevant to the whole world, and Lithuania is not different. Although in recent years, due to the efforts of various government and non government organizations, youth unemployment has a tendency to decrease, however, it has been higher than the total unemployment rate in the country during the whole Lithuanias independence. The social costs of youth unemployment are very high. Youth unemployment today is a growing social problem tomorrow. The behaviour of young people in the labour market depends on many social, economic, demographic and other closely related factors. Youth unemployment, as a socio economic phenomenon, is a particularly disadvantageous result of the interaction of these factors. Article analyses youth unemployment and respondents opinion about socially intelligible young peoples introduction to the labour market.

Abstract: Discouraged Youth’ is defined as those youth who are not working even though they have expressed a desire to work, but due to the fact that they felt that undertaking a job search would be a futile effort, have not continued with the effort to seek a job . The magnitude of this crisis is a cause for concern for Mauritius; hence this study was conducted with the objective of creating a deeper understanding of discouraged youth. Primary data is used for this study, and the survey covers a sample of 500 unemployed youth across the island. The probit regression model is used to analyse the determinants affecting discouraged youth. The findings of the study found that age, age2, marital status, gender and tertiary education, area of study based on friend’s opinion, length of unemployment less than 12 months and prior experience have an impact on discouraged youth. From the analysis it was noted that education and training systems should be revisited to bridge the skills gap.

ACCESSIBILITY OF SOCIAL SECURITY AMONG DOMESTIC WORKERS IN LUSAKA, ZAMBIA.John1Lorcan
Social security plays an important role in preventing and reducing poverty, inequality and social exclusion.
It is critical in supporting people to be self-reliance and lead a more dignified life. People working in the
formal and informal economy alike require social security, especially in times of economic crisis. In both
developed and developing countries, domestic work absorbs significant number of workers, many of whom
belong to the poorest segments of society. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods,
this study investigated the awareness and accessibility of social security among domestic workers in
Lusaka, Zambia. Some employers and representatives of Zambia’s Social Security Institutions were also
interviewed as key informants. The overall conclusion this study draws is that despite the importance,
majority domestic workers are less informed and do not have access to social security services. They
expressed interest to participate only if there is more sensitization done as well as having their income
increased. The study recommends more sensitization and a more comprehensive legal framework that
would compel both domestic workers and their employers to adhere to social security requirements.

This year’s report is devoted to young people, to the problems they face and to their opportunities, and to their position in society as a social group. Both problems and opportunities are understood from a human development standpoint, beyond tangible material opportunities or opportunities related to livelihoods. Apart from education, employment and security, these include societal and spiritual issues for young people and opportunities to share important societal values with other generations, to feel themselves a part of society so that they can govern principles of solidarity and respect not only material but also the spiritual needs of all generations.

Adult Education as a Means to Active Participatory Citizenship: A Concept NoteJaakko Hyytiä
The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual understanding of the notion of active citizenship (AC), specifically for the use of this concept in the H2020 project Adult Education as a Means to Active Participatory Citizenship (EduMAP). EduMAP seeks to understand and develop the real and potential impact of adult education on learning for active participatory citizenship in Europe. Particular attention is given to the educational policies and practices used within adult education to foster AC among vulnerable young adults aged 16 to 30. The research question that the project seeks to answer is: What policies and practices are needed in the field of adult education to include young adults at risk of social exclusion in active participatory citizenship in Europe?

The Informal Economy: Definitions, Theories and Policies Dr Lendy Spires
Introduction It was widely assumed during the 1950s and 1960s that, with the right mix of economic policies and resources, low-income traditional economies could be transformed into dynamic modern economies. In the process, the traditional sector comprised of petty trade, small-scale production, and a range of casual jobs would be absorbed into the modern capitalist or formal economy and, thereby, disappear.
This perspective was reflected in the prediction by W. Arthur Lewis, in the 1954 essay for which he received a Nobel Prize in Economics, that economic development in developing countries would, in the long-term, generate enough modern jobs to absorb surplus labour from the traditional economy. This would lead to a turning point when wages would begin to rise above the subsistence level: what is referred to even today as the “Lewis Turning Point” (Lewis 1954). This perspective was reinforced by the successful rebuilding of Europe and Japan after World War II and the expansion of mass production in Europe and North America during the 1950s and 1960s.
By the mid- 1960s, however, the optimism about the prospects for economic growth in developing countries began to give way to concerns about persistent widespread unemployment. This led development economist Hans Singer to argue in 1970 that he saw no sign of the “Lewis Turning Point” in developing countries. In sharp contrast with the historical experience in developed countries, unemployment and under-employment of various kinds were on the rise in developing countries, even those that were growing economically.
Singer attributed this trend to an imbalance resulting from technological advances: an imbalance between limited creation of jobs due to the extensive use of capital-intensive technology and significant growth in the population—and labour force—due to technological progress in health and disease control. He predicted a persistent “dangerous” dualism in labour markets with high levels of casual and intermittent employment, as well as disguised or open unemployment. He also warned of an employment crisis due to acute land shortage in overcrowded farming communities and an acute job shortage in overcrowded urban communities (Singer 1970).
This paper provides an illustration of the changing tolerance for inequality in a context of radical political and economic transformation and rapid economic growth. We focus on the Polish transition experience, and explore individuals' self-reported attitudes. Using unusually long and frequent (monthly) representative surveys of the population, carried out by the Polish poll institute (CBOS) from 1992 to 2005, we identify a structural break in the relationship between income inequality and subjective well-being. The downturn in the tolerance for inequality (1997) coincides with increasing distrust of political elites.

Dynamics of Communal Politics in 21st Century India Challenges and Prospectsijtsrd
Communal politics in India has evolved through centuries, weaving a complex tapestry shaped by historical legacies, colonial influences, and contemporary socio political transformations. This research comprehensively examines the dynamics of communal politics in 21st century India, emphasizing its historical roots, socio political dynamics, economic implications, challenges, and prospects for mitigation. The historical perspective unravels the intricate interplay of religious identities and power dynamics from ancient civilizations to the impact of colonial rule, providing insights into the evolution of communalism. The socio political dynamics section delves into the contemporary manifestations, exploring the roles of identity politics, socio economic disparities, and globalization. The economic implications section highlights how communal politics intersects with economic issues, perpetuating disparities and influencing resource allocation. Challenges posed by communal politics are scrutinized, revealing multifaceted issues ranging from social fragmentation to threats against democratic values. The prospects for mitigation present a multifaceted approach, incorporating policy interventions, community engagement, and educational initiatives. The paper conducts a comparative analysis with international examples, identifying common patterns such as identity politics and economic disparities. It also examines unique challenges, emphasizing Indias diverse religious landscape, historical legacy, and secular framework. Lessons for effective strategies are drawn from international experiences, offering insights into inclusive policies, interfaith dialogue, media regulation, and global cooperation. By scrutinizing historical epochs, contemporary dynamics, economic implications, and international comparisons, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of communal politics in India. The proposed strategies for mitigation underscore the importance of a holistic approach to foster social harmony, inclusivity, and democratic values.

Assess Perspective and Knowledge of Healthcare Providers Towards Elehealth in...ijtsrd
Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Impact of Educational Background and Professional Training on Human Right...ijtsrd
This study investigated the impact of educational background and professional training on human rights awareness among secondary school teachers in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The key findings reveal that higher levels of education, particularly a master’s degree, and fields of study related to education, humanities, or social sciences are associated with greater human rights awareness among teachers. Additionally, both pre service teacher training and in service professional development programs focused on human rights education significantly enhance teacher’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in promoting human rights principles in their classrooms.

A Study on the Effective Teaching Learning Process in English Curriculum at t...ijtsrd
“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

In other words, "social exclusion is an inalienable departure

According to Eurostat, in the European Union (EU) 2016
117.5 million people, or 23.4% of the EU population were at
risk of poverty or social exclusion.Thismeansthatthey lived
in households with at least one of the following conditions:
the risk of poverty after social benefits (income poverty),
severe material deprivation or very low employment. 2009-
2012 the percentage of people in the EU who were at risk of

3. INTEGRATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE INTO THE
LABOUR MARKET
On January 1st, 2018, there were 24,1 thousand registered
16 - 29 year old young people, and that is less by 0,3
thousand than a year ago (as of January 1st, 2017 there were
24.4 thousand). January 1st, 2018, 16 - 29 years olds
accounted for 15.8 percent of all the unemployed (16.1% on
January 1st, 2017). Therefore, in order to reduce youth
unemployment, it is important to promote the young
unemployed integration into the labour market. The
integration is the parts integration of into a whole body,
restoration, renewal. The integrationcanbecharacterisedas
the natural right of every individual to fully participate in
public life (Gudžinskienė, Jurgutiene, 2010). The Lithuanian
Labour Exchange also contributes to the young people
integration into the labour market, which provides various
services and tools for employment. Various measures are
used to integrate young unemployed into the labour market,
and they can be grouped into two groups. The first group
includes permanent or fixed-term employment, while the
second group includes active labour market measures that
include supported employment (i.e. acquisition of work
skills, public works), vocational training, job rotation, job
creation. Research carried out by Kriščiūnienė (2011) has
confirmed that people seeking to integrate into the labour
market are increasingly interested in the possibility of
temporarily employing via employment agency services.
However, De Cuyper, de Jong, De Witte, Isaksson, Rigotti, &
Schalk (2008) emphasized that temporary employment is
not an appropriate means of integrating into the labour
market, since in the long run such form of employment may
adversely affect person's further employmentopportunities.
Most scientific sources highlight the main problems and
obstacles that prevent young people from gaining afoothold
in the labour market. (Karamessini, 2010; Semboja, 2007)
highlighting the main youth employment opportunities,
emphasizes the importance of encouraging young people's
interest in vocational education and training institutions, as
employers expect young people to receive practical, rather
than theoretical, skills. Researchers (Hannan et al., 1996)
also state that the problem of youth employment is
contributing to the recession of the state itself, as the
economic crisis has ledmany employersto endurelong-term
employees, while young people remain underestimated due
to lack of experience and shortage of seniority.However,the
next question is how young people can gain experience if no
one wants to hire them. Studies by the aforementioned
authors show that in the European Union countries,
structural unemployment is also prevalent in Lithuania,
which in the theoretical definition is described as labour
demand mismatch with labour supply. Therefore, there are
problems with the young people employmentopportunities.
It can be argued that it is precisely the discrepancy between
labour supply and the fact that many young people are
currently unemployed and unable to establish themselves in
the market. Most of them chose not specially tailored
specialties or just picked up the most in demand, whose
specialists' jobs in Lithuania have long been filled. The
causes of youth unemployment may be as diverse as the
social factors of the country, as well as the country's
economistic context - the economic crisis in Lithuania. Other
possibilities that could lead to more favourable youth
employment conditions: interaction between educationand
employment institutions (Beresnevičiūtė, Poviliūnas,2007),
opportunities for reconciliation of studies and work, as well
as wage regulation measures motivatingyoungspecialists to
look for work according to their specialty.
Therefore, in order to reduce youth unemployment, it is
important to promote the integration of young unemployed
into labour market. Integration is the integration of parts
into a whole, restoration, renewal. Integration can be
characterized as the natural right of every individual to
participate fully in public life (Gudzinskienė, Jurgutiene,
2010: 18). The Lithuanian Labour Exchangealsocontributes
to the integration of young people into the labour market,
which provides various services and tools for employment.
Various measures are used to integrate young unemployed
into the labour market, and they can be grouped into two
groups. The second group includes active labour market
measures, that include supported employment (i.e., work
skills acquisition, public works), vocational training, job
rotation, job creation. The research conducted by A.
Kriščiūnienė (2011) has confirmed that people seeking to
integrate into the labour market are increasingly interested
in the possibility of temporarily employing employment
agency services. However, D. Jong and R. Witte (2008)
emphasized that temporary employment is not an
appropriate means of integrating into the labour market,
since in the long run such a form of employment may
adversely affect further employment opportunities for a
person. Most scientific literature highlights the main
problems and obstacles that prevent young people from
gaining a foothold in the labour market. (Karamessini, 2010;
Semboja, 2007; Ryan, 1999), highlighting the main youth
employment opportunities, emphasizes the importance of
encouraging young people's interest in vocationaleducation
and training institutions, as employers expect young people
to receive practical, rather than theoretical, skills.
Researchers (Hannan et al., 1996) also state that the
problem of youth employment is contributing to the
recession of the state itself, as the economic crisis has led
many employers to endure long-term employees, while
young people remain underestimated due to experienceand
shortage of seniority. However, the next question is how
young people can gain experience if no one wants to hire
them. Studies by the aforementioned authors show that in
the countries of the European Union, structural
unemployment is also prevalent in Lithuania, which in the
theoretical definition is described as labour demand
mismatch with labour supply. Therefore, there areproblems
with the employment opportunities of young people. It can
be argued that it is precisely thediscrepancybetweenlabour
supply and the fact that many young people are currently
unemployed and unable to establish themselves in the
market. Most of them chose not specially tailored specialties

or just picked up the most in demand,whosespecialists'jobs
in Lithuania have long been filled. The causes of youth
unemployment may be as diverse as the social factors of the
country, as well as the country's economistic context - the
economic crisis in Lithuania. Other possibilities that could
lead to more favourable youth employment conditions:
interaction between education and employmentinstitutions
(Beresnevičiūtė, Poviliūnas, 2007), opportunities for
reconciliation of studies and work, as well as wage
regulation measures motivating young specialiststolook for
work accordingly to their specialty. Integrating of young
people into the labour market is affected by a wide range of
factors: the development of services and production,
education, work motivation, health, family livelihood and
living standards. Factors can be grouped according to
various criteria. Factors influencing the processes of
integration of young people into the labour market can be
grouped into exogenous (external) and endogenous
(internal). Exogenous - factors beyond the control of the
individual, which he cannot directly regulate. They include
socioeconomic, social,demographic,geographicandpolitical
factors that both have a positive and negative impact on the
employment rate of young people. Youth activism and
employment rates are raising the ability of young workers
and professionals to adapt to the rapidly changing labour
market conditions. However, nevertheless, most employers
consider that young workers often lack professional
qualifications, lacking the necessary experience. Looking at
the social side and discussing social factors, we can observe
that social life is very diverse and complex. The family is the
first institute that nurtures and "launches" a young man into
a distant life. Parents are very important people, shaping a
young personality, they transmit social values, teach morals
and other things important to the person. Thus, parents are,
nevertheless, greatly influenced by their ability to pursue
higher education in terms of their situation. The more
difficult social situation a family is in, the more difficulties a
young person faces trying to integrate into society and the
labour market. The desire of the youth to learn, to receive
certain knowledge, to understand the importanceof science,
to achieve the material well-being, is conditioned by the
career ladder. The number of young people willing to study
is increasing every year. Everyone can choose a high school
or a different school according to their needs, desires and
opportunities.
4. ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIALLY VULNERABLE YOUNG
PEOPLE INTEGRATION INTO THE LABOUR MARKET
Investigation methodology. The questionnaire contained 20
questions aimed at elucidating the respondents' opinion on
the possibilities of integration of young people into the
labour market and current problems. The study involved
132 respondents.
Detailed estimates of thesepeoplearepresented graphically.
During the survey, the aim was to find out the gender of the
respondents. The results showed that thequestionnaire was
mostly answered by women
More than half of respondents who participated in the
survey aged 18 to 24 years. Also, many respondents were
between 25 and 30 years old.
Half of respondents who participated inthesurvey,theplace
of residence is a city. There are also anumberof respondents
from a village or town / settlement.
More than half of respondents have secondary education.
Respondents with higheror vocationaleducationareequally
distributed.
41.2 percent arestudents,25.9% areonlyemployedpersons,
22.4% are working students and 9.4% are unemployed.
Most of the respondents did not experience employer
discrimination because of their age, but there were also
respondents who were partially experienced and who have
experienced discrimination due to their age.
The most common reason for non-employment was the
following: they are not satisfied with wages, lack of work
experience, and one of the main reasons for this is due tothe
additional employer requirements. It ispreciselythisreason
that seems to be the most important for respondents, which
makes it difficult for young people to find a job.
The data presented show that young people lack the most
basic theoretical knowledge at the beginning of their
professional activity, and most of them lack practical
knowledge.

Less than half of respondents agree that older people have
more job opportunities. Also 26 percent respondents
disagree with this opinion and 24% fully agree that older
people have more employment opportunities.
33 percent respondents have job experience from 1 to 4
years, 32% respondents have up to a year work experience
and there were such respondents who do not have a
seniority.
One third of the respondents do not have a permanent job
for 6-12 months, 28.2% permanent job does not have 24
months or more and 21.2 percent of respondents did not
answer this question.
One third of respondents answered that they intend to work
within a month. Slightly fewer respondents plan to work
within 2-3 months and 15% plans to find work in half ayear.
Almost half of the respondents answered that their acquired
specialty or qualification meets the needs of the labour
market. One third of the respondents do not have an opinion
on this issue.
The most common reason for thelack of compliancewith the
needs of the labour market was the lack of willingness to
recruit new specialists. One third of them say there are too
many specialists.
Respondents have indicated that wages and salaries are the
most important choices in their work, and it is equally
important to have access to work and do the work.
Almost half of the respondents said that the most youth
employment was influenced by the acquired education and
specialty. Also, work experience and skills are influenced by
employment as well as by personal characteristics such as:
diligence, communication, responsibility, etc., and the least
influences are the labour exchange and its services
Almost all respondents said that young people are
themselves responsible for their employment. The average
responsibility is for parents and state.
According to the respondents, a young person is very
sensitive to paid wages before getting to work, and also the
career opportunities offered are relevant, and it is not
relevant for young people to work for their favourite and
interesting job.
Almost half of the respondents said they willrelocateabroad
if they won't be able to find a job. One third of the
respondents do not know whether they will stay or will
leave.
CONCLUSIONS
According to the questionnaire data, the current situation of
young people integration into the labour market and the
prevailing problems are:
Target market - women - students aged 18 to 24 who live in
the city, their education is secondary, not graduated, and
their length of service is from 1 to 4 years.
When responding to the question "For how long you don't
have a permanent job?" most chose the answer between 6-
12 months. They expect to start working in one month. The
respondents believe that their unemployment is caused by:
insufficient work experience, not big enough wages,andone
more reason is high employers' demands.
According to the question "What do you need to get a job
faster?" one third of the respondents said that there was a
need to improve their qualifications or re-qualify, as well as
an insufficient assessment of professional skills when
choosing a job.
More than half of the respondents said that the most they
lack practical training from the beginning of their
professional life, and also a significant lack of personalskills.
The specialty and qualification acquired by the respondents
correspond to the needs of the labour market. They also
believe that the reason for not meeting the needs of the
labour market is the reluctance to receive young specialists.
The respondents take salary into account when choosing a
job, and that the work corresponds to the qualification.
The young people employment is most influenced by the
acquired education and vocationaltraining,workexperience
and skills, while the least influenced by the labour exchange
and its services. Also, when choosing a job, salaries and
career opportunities are most important to young people,
but it is less important relevant for young people to work
their favourite and interesting jobs. The survey showed that
if respondents won't find a job in the near future,theyintend
to go abroad.
