这一章讨论了社会公正是如何与劳动力市场中的教育相关的。虽然在文献中很少考虑社会正义教育,但教育在发展技能方面的作用提出了具有挑战性的问题。一方面,许多对公平的理解会允许一个受过高等教育并拥有经济价值技能的人因其努力而获得额外的工资;另一方面,由这种溢价产生的经济不平等可能会破坏一个公正的社会,特别是当接受高等教育的机会仅限于那些负担得起的人时。在本章中,我们回顾了劳动力市场中社会正义和技能的基本概念。我们确定了两个关键问题,社会公正的技能方法必须解决,涉及高等教育的获得和回报。我们认为,森的能力概念提供了一种平衡这些考虑的方法,而不是只关注投入(获取)或结果(回报)的平等。因此,本章有助于对教育如何促进一个社会公正的社会有一个更彻底和概念严谨的理解。
This chapter discusses how social justice is related to education in the labor market. While seldom considered in literature on education for social justice, the role of education in developing skills raises challenging questions. On the one hand, many understandings of fairness would permit an individual who has undertaken advanced levels of education and economically value skills to receive a premium in her salary for these efforts; on the other hand, the economic inequality that arises from this premium can undermine a just society, particularly when access to higher levels of education is restricted to those who can afford it. In this chapter, we review fundamental conceptualizations of both social justice and skills in the labor market. We identify two key questions that a socially just approach to skills must address, concerning the access to and returns from advanced education. We argue that Sen’s concept of capabilities offers a way to balance these considerations without exclusively focusing on equality of inputs (access) or outcomes (returns). The chapter thereby contributes to a more thorough and conceptually rigorous understanding of how education can promote a socially just society.
