However, many young people continue to face unemployment, job insecurity, and the subsequent consequences. Adopting a mixed-method and multilevel perspective, this book provides a comprehensive investigation into the multifaceted consequences of social exclusion. Drawing on rich pan-European comparative and quantitative data, and interviews with young people from across Europe, this text gives a platform to the unheard voices of young people. Contributors derive crucial new policy recommendations and offer fresh insights into areas including youth well-being, health, poverty, leaving the parental home, and qualifying for social security.

The expansion of the European Union (EU) has put an end to the East-West division of Europe. At the same time it has increased the cultural heterogeneity, social disparities and economic imbalances within the EU, exemplified in the lower living standards and higher unemployment rates in some of the new member states. This important new reference work describes the education systems, labour markets and welfare production regimes in the 10 new Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. In three comparative chapters, discussing each of these domains in turn, the editors provide a set of theory-driven, comprehensive and informative indicators that allow comparisons and rankings within the new EU member states. Ten country-specific chapters follow, each written by experts from those countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. These chapters provide detailed information on each country's education and training systems, labour market structure and regulations, and its provision of formal and informal welfare support. An important component of each country chapter is the explanation of the historical background and the specific national conditions for the institutional choices in the transitional years. The handbook provides policy makers with the tools to assess the institutional changes in CEE countries, and scholars with ways to apply the proposed indicators to their analytic research. It will be a vital resource that no major research library should be without.

This book traces the spread of a global anti-imperialism from the vantage point of Paris between the two World Wars, where countless future leaders of Third World countries spent formative stints. Exploring the local social context in which these emergent activists moved, the study delves into assassination plots allegedly hatched by Chinese students, demonstrations by Latin American nationalists, and the everyday lives of Algerian, Senegalese and Vietnamese workers. On the basis of police reports and other primary sources, the book foregrounds the role of migration and interaction as driving forces enabling challenges to the imperial world order, weaving together the stories of peoples of three continents. Drawing on the scholarship of twentieth-century imperial, international and global history as well as migration, race and ethnicity in France, it ultimately proposes a new understanding of the roots of the Third World idea.

Between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, an influx of Europeans, Asians, and Arabic speakers indelibly changed the face of Latin America. While many studies of this period focus on why the immigrants came to the region, this volume addresses how the newcomers helped construct national identities in the Caribbean, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. In these essays, some of the most respected scholars of migration history examine the range of responses-some welcoming, some xenophobic-to the newcomers. They also look at the lasting effects that Jewish, German, Chinese, Italian, and Syrian immigrants had on the economic, sociocultural, and political institutions. These explorations of assimilation, race formation, and transnationalism enrich our understanding not only of migration to Latin America but also of the impact of immigration on the construction of national identity throughout the world.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Social Media, Note: 1,0, Hochschule fur Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur Leipzig, Veranstaltung: Marketing, 31 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Hausarbeit inklusive Management Summary, Abstract: In Anbetracht der andauernden demografischen Verschiebung entwickelt sich fur Unternehmen die Ausrichtung an der Zielgruppe Senioren zum entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktor. Die Auseinandersetzung mit deren Problemen und Anspruchen ist aufgrund ausgepragter Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Lebenserfahrung und der biologischen Altersentwicklung eine anspruchsvolle Aufgabe. Altere legen als firmen- und markentreue Kunden Wert auf klare Kommunikation, privilegierte Kundenbeziehungen sowie Service und Qualitat. Zudem verfugen sie uber ein hohes finanzielles Potential. Derzeit richten nur wenige Unternehmen ihr Leistungsangebot auf die alter werdende Kundschaft aus. Diese spurt jedoch aufgrund ihrer Erfahrungen und ihres ausgepragten Urteilsvermogens sehr schnell, wenn ihre individuellen Probleme nicht ernst genommen werden. Als Grundlage fur die Entwicklung von Losungen fur diese Probleme sind die aktuell existierenden und recht groben Zielgruppenanalysen nicht ausreichend. Daher ist in jedem einzelnen Unternehmen eine weitergehende und gezielte Marktforschung notwendig. Bei der Entwicklung von Leistungen fur altere Kunden kann der so genannte Age Explorer nutzlich sein, durch den die Entwickler ein Bewusstsein und Verstandnis fur die physische Verfassung der Senioren und die sich daraus ergebenden Probleme ausbilden konnen. Eine solche Vorgehensweise wird auch zu der Erkenntnis fuhren, dass das technisch Machbare bei dieser Zielgruppe nicht im Vordergrund steht. Stattdessen mussen Leistungen entwickelt werden, die den individuellen Anspruchen des Anwenders entsprechen und ihn dabei uberzeugen und begeistern. Die Herausforderungen liegen hier im
