“…Two consequences are evident of the pressures generated by (1) Lectures may be delivered online and most institutions are modifying current practices but educational systems will need to react to 'traditional' methods; lectures and examinations, practical classes and tutorials, yet still provide 'quality'. (2) Income disparities and the 'educational income gap' is well known in the USA (Albrecht & Albrecht, 2009) and the UK (Machin & Vignoles, 2004). Post-2020, existing family income disparities will increase across the UK so HE experiences may become rarer for some families (Donnelly & Gamsu, 2018).…”

The concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is related to a ubiquitously connected, pervasively proximate (UCaPP) world and its response to Covid-19. Pedagogies need to be aligned with institutional 'quality education' and changes in the nature of the undergraduate student intake to formulate a 'Future Educational System'. Considerations include students from 'non-traditional' sources adapting to existing university structures and how procedures might accommodate these students in addition to changes and disruptions resulting from Covid-19. Mobile devices allow Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) to be developed in accordance with individual students' needs. PLEs allow ubiquitous, flexible structures to develop educational quality. Policies should involve connectivist approaches and active learning via broad curriculum development and appreciate the importance of individual student needs and capabilities, socioeconomic as well as academic. We stress the importance of broadening access to higher education, particularly for those who have been 'neglected' by current procedures.

“…Based on state administrative data from Washington, Grubb (2002b) also reported pre-and postcollege wage gains by credits accumulated (but unadjusted for covariates). In addition, using the public-use microdata samples from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2000, Albrecht and Albrecht (2009) reported significant earnings advantages for persons with some college over those with a high school diploma or below (unadjusted for covariates). Finally, Jacobson and Mokher (2009) analyzed data on young adults in 2005 in Florida.…”

This article reviews the existing literature on the economic and other benefits of attending community college. First, the article reports on the earnings gains across all students and reviews the evidence for subgroups by gender, minority status, and credits accumulated. The article then reviews the methodological challenges associated with calculating earnings gains from attending a community college. Despite these challenges, the evidence for the significant earnings gains from community college attendance appears to be compelling. The second part of the article reviews the literature on a broader spectrum of gains, such as health, crime, and welfare reliance. This literature is very limited and potentially offers an important area for further research to establish the full returns from community college attendance.

“…At the heart of much of this work has been a focus on the relationship between economic diversity and a range of socio‐economic indicators. These indicators have included employment stability, relative household and individual incomes, and population dynamics (Bascom and Gordon, 1999; Millward, 2005; Walford, 2005; Albrecht and Albrecht, 2009). The bulk of this research, much of it conducted in North America and Europe, suggests that areas with a narrow economic base are more prone to economic volatility, decline and marginalisation than are more diverse economies (Archer and Lonsdale, 1997).…”

Economic Diversity and Regional Socioeconomic Performance: An Empirical Analysis of the Western Australian Grain Belt

One of the truisms ingrained in much regional development policy and practice is the claimed importance of economic diversity in contributing to socio‐economic stability and well‐being. There is, however, very little recent research examining this contention in the context of rural Australia. This paper examines the extent to which economic diversity affects the socio‐economic performance of local areas in the Western Australian grain belt. The results indicate that employment diversity across industry sectors is clearly associated with population growth, labour force expansion, labour force participation, and rising median incomes. However, the paper also argues that economic diversity is not necessarily the cause of these changes, but simply one, albeit important, component of the dynamics of regional change.
