The challenge of including youth in the labour market is a problem
which many European countries are facing. Examining the transition
from education to employment, Youth, Diversity and Employment
combines insights from law and the social sciences to link the
challenges and specific barriers facing young and vulnerable people
today. Based on original research, this book presents ways in which
social protection policies in Europe can utilise the synergy
between redistribution and regulations to combat economic
inactivity and exclusion of young people. Drawing on the
experiences of Nordic countries, which represent cases of high
theoretical and political relevance, and systematically examining
the significance of social regulation on the employment
opportunities for young adults, this book develops an original
approach to social protection policies. This book focuses on ways
to strengthen the demand for the work capacity of European youth,
identifying principles which will make the best progress in policy
making to assist youth transitions into work. Arguing that gender,
ethnicity, and disability are increasingly important factors to
consider, chapters reveal how to ensure that the full use of skills
that young adults have can be brought to the workforce effectively.
This book will be a valuable tool for students and scholars of
social policy, sociology, employment and human rights law, and
cultural studies, as well as for researchers, who will find the
analytical framework and new data useful for future research into
youth transitions, policy, and social protection policies.
