Offering new knowledge and insights into European job markets, this
book explores how young men and women experience job insecurity.
Focusing on the ways in which young adults deal with this by
actively increasing their chances of getting a job through a
variety of methods, it shows how governmental policies can be
altered to reduce early job insecurity. By combining analysis of
original data collected through a variety of innovative methods,
the book compares the trajectories of early job insecurity in nine
European countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece,
Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK. It explores the
differing reactions to the 2008 Great Recession and socio-economic
and institutional characteristics of each country, analysing the
strengths and weaknesses of different national policies.
Contributions from experts in the field investigate the long-term
consequences of having difficulty finding suitable and stable jobs
in young adulthood, including 'scarring' in the form of weaker
long-term employment prospects, lower life earnings and reduced
well-being. Incorporating high-level academic research with policy
recommendations, this insightful book is essential reading for
advanced public policy and European studies scholars, as well as
policymakers at national and European levels. Contributors include:
