Teacher policies and teacher labor market outcomes: Results from cross-national comparison

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This quantitative comparative study looks at cross-national variations in the regulation of the teaching profession and the way they shape how teachers perceive the value of their profession, feel about their employment conditions, work environment, and profession, and their attrition intention within the next 5 years. It draws on a theoretical typology that distinguishes four models of profession regulation and tests their effects with a sample of 16 countries having participated in the TALIS 2018 survey. While results highlight cross-country differences; comparisons between models of regulation add highly significantly to the prediction of these outcomes.
