Young losers in the generation game

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the growing numbers of researchers and academics being employed by universities and colleges in the UK on short-term fixed contracts and the wedge that this is creating between them and more senior staff who have a greater degree of job security. It is argued that the result of the growth of short-term contracts and poor pay is to drive some of the brightest young minds out of the higher education sector at a time when the baby boom generation of faculty are thinking about retiring and the Government is attempting to expand student numbers.
