Políticas de educación superior y empleo en México ante un mundo VUCA

Abstract

Bachelor education and employment policies in Mexico in the face of a VUCA world

The purpose of this research is to understand bachelor education and employment policies and the graduate's labor market in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) context. Therefore, it is suggested that the strategy, as the concept that gave rise to VUCA, be taken up again as an ideal tool to address an unsolved point on the public agenda. In this sense, higher education and employment policies are placed as the articulating axis to address the problem of the lack of jobs for graduates who, in the best of cases, show meager incomes. Certainly, the article has limitations, as is the case of definitive information on the results of the Welfare Universities (UBBJ), due to their recent creation. On the other hand, the relevance of higher education as an element of resilience in a VUCA world is notorious, and its link with the different sectors of society should be strengthened with a five-helix society participation.
