Featuring new findings and fresh insights from an international
roster of labor economists, including such eminent authors as
Morley Gunderson, Harry Holzer, and Paul Ryan, this book delves
into a uniquely wide range of high-profile labor issues affecting
youth in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan - from declining job,
wage, and training prospects to workplace health hazards,
immigration, union activism, and new policy strategies. This widely
accessible introduction to the latest research in the area presents
original empirical economic studies in an engaging style. All may
find something of interest in the host of controversial topics of
lively public debate that are covered, including: youth
unemployment, earnings mobility, racial/ethnic and gender
inequalities, training quality and access, job hazards, health
insurance coverage, immigration, minimum wage laws, union
organizing, and global economic competition. Young Workers in the
Global Economy is written in a clear and accessible style for a
broad readership ranging from scholars and college students to
employers, unions, career counselors, human resource professionals,
vocational trainers, policy analysts, government officials,
immigration and health care activists, as well as to the wider
public concerned about the future of youth career prospects.
