In the early 1980s, against the background of chronic unemployment
in Britain, the particular plight of young people had come to be
identified as a subject for special concern. Anxieties were
expressed, as they were in the 1930s, as a twin concern for a waste
of the nation's resources and for the demoralization of youth,
leading potentially to anti-social behaviour. Originally published
in 1982, this volume of essays identifies a number of key issues in
the pattern of state response to youth unemployment which had
evolved in the inter-war and post-war periods. The contributors
discuss a number of related themes, such as how the problem has
been defined and created as a kind of 'moral panic', and how
contemporary measures recapitulate the rhetoric and policies of
pre-war interventions. They examine the relationship between youth
unemployment measures and the education sector, the responses of
the trade unions, and also consider how young people themselves
respond to special programmes. A critical assessment is made of the
further education elements in the special measures: in particular,
the question is asked: do these young people need 'social and life
skills' training? The book charts the changing nature of the state
response to youth unemployment since 1974, and stresses throughout
the inappropriate nature of 'temporary' amelioration of a
long-term, even permanent, problem.
