Objectives

At the end of this curricular unit the students should be able to:
- Understand the importance of knowledge on the evolution of employment systems and subsystems for the intervention of the psychologist's work, namely as a promoter of local and regional development, demonstrating the ability to integrate different theoretical and methodological contributions explained in lectures, field work in and the theoretical and practical exercises, as well as in times of formal assessment.
- Organize with clarity, accuracy and consistency the argumentation and justification of the theoretical and methodological options taken in different situations.
- Produce reflections and original processes for addressing the issues under consideration.
- Safeguard the ability of self-criticism and understanding of the standpoint of their interlocutors.

Program

This curricular unit aims to:
- Synthetically establish the theoretical changes in labor markets analysis in industrialized economies, stressing the contribution of other social sciences, in addition to economic science;
- Characterize the evolutions and mutations of employment systems in Portugal, highlighting in particular the regional and sectorial specificities;
- Examine demographic trends, some public policies defined, employment prospects and conditions in which jobs can now be assumed;
- Articulate regional and sectorial specificities with intervention projects for local development;
- Discuss new forms of territorial management that seek to unleash multi-actor coordination processes, integrating them within a renewed commitment between global and local.

Calculation formula of final grade

Classes are subject to verification of attendance.
In the evaluation are weighted the following components:
- Practical work undertaken within classes: 20%
- Search field (small groups) and its presentation in class: 40%
- Summary of theoretical writing (5 p.; Individual test): 40%
Failing to accomplish one of the components implies a zero classification in that particular component.
The minimum score required is 8 values in all components.
The review or improvement of classification are limited to components which by their
nature are repeatable and, therefore, allow the revaluation initially assigned.
