The recent recession has led to an ongoing crisis in the youth
labour market in Europe. This timely book deals with a number of
areas related to the context, choices and experiences of young
people, the consequences of which resonate throughout their lives.
The focus of the contributions to this volume is on issues which,
whilst undoubtedly important, have thus far received less attention
than they arguably deserve. The first part of the book is concerned
with issues related to education and training, covering matters
such as the role of monopsony in training, the consequences of
over-education, and the quality of educational institutions from
primary to tertiary. The second part is primarily concerned with
the long-term consequences of short-term choices and experiences
including contributions on health-related choices, health
consequences later in life, factors affecting the home-leaving
decision, as well as an analysis of the increasing
intergenerational transmission of inequality; a trend which
accelerated during the recession. The last part of the book deals
with issues related to youth unemployment and NEET - the direct
consequence of the recession. This book contains a number of
innovative analyses reporting significant findings that contrast
with standard models. Some of the more interesting results directly
contradict conventional wisdom on a number of topics from the
importance of monopsony in training markets to the importance of
transitory income changes on consumption of addictive goods. This
book is suitable for those who study labor economics, political
economy as well as employment and unemployment.
