Young People and Long-Term Unemployment examines the consequences
of long-term unemployment for the personal, social, and political
lives of young adults aged 18-34 across four European cities:
Cologne (Germany), Geneva (Switzerland), Lyon (France), and Turin
(Italy). Adopting a multidimensional theoretical framework aiming
to bring together insights based on the contextual (macro),
organizational (meso), and individual (micro) levels, and combining
quantitative and qualitative data and analyses, it reaches a number
of important conclusions. First, our study shows that the
experience of long-term unemployment has a negative impact on
different dimensions of young people's lives. When compared to
employed youth, unemployed youth are less satisfied with their
lives, more isolated, and less independent financially. Second,
however, there are important variations across the four cities.
This means that, in spite of widespread retrenchments, in some
places the welfare state still acts as a buffer against
unemployment. Third, although young unemployed people participate
in politics equally if not slightly more than employed youth, the
young unemployed are often disconnected from politics. This is so
even when they have important grievances to express in the face of
high youth unemployment, precarious working conditions, and grim
future perspectives on the labor market. This book will be useful
for scholars interested in unemployment politics and youth
politics, researchers and teachers in political science, sociology,
and social psychology.
