Apprenticeship: A Narrative Review of Factors Influencing Career Choice of Young People
Abstract The ageing workforce is a significant problem affecting the construction sector in many countries. The increase in the average age of workers reduces the predictability of the outcome of construction projects. Existing literature suggests that ageing construction workforce has a significant negative impact on labor productivity and safety at construction sites and could lead to poor outcomes of construction projects. A substantial body of knowledge indicates that young people need to be attracted to the construction sector as an effective replacement of its ageing workforce. However, a comprehensive review of the scientific literature focused on this problem is lacking. A narrative literature review was conducted to examine the current state of knowledge on factors influencing career choice of young people. The findings indicate that family, salary and quality of career advice are the most common factors influencing career choice among young people. The articles selected for review were those published in academic journals. Based on the review, the directions for future research were proposed.
