The economic status of young people has declined significantly over
the past two decades, despite a variety of programs designed to aid
new workers in the transition from the classroom to the job market.
This ongoing problem has proved difficult to explain. Drawing on
comparative data from Canada, Germany, France, Sweden, and the
United Kingdom, these papers go beyond examining only employment
and wages and explore the effects of family background, education
and training, social expectations, and crime on youth employment.
This volume brings together key studies, providing detailed
analyses of the difficult economic situation plaguing young
workers. Why have demographic changes and additional schooling
failed to resolve youth unemployment? How effective have those
economic policies been which aimed to improve the labor skills and
marketability of young people? And how have youths themselves
responded to the deteriorating job market confronting them? These
questions form the empirical and organizational bases upon which
these studies are founded.
