Who decides how political ideas are ‘framed,’ and how are these frames shared with others?

A major study mapping the ways European member states organise and provide lifelong careers guidance has been published by a consortium led by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Institute for Employment Research, in partnership with the Finnish Institute for Educational Research at the University of Jyväskylä.
