The Precarious Generation - A Political Economy of Young People (Hardcover): Judith Bessant, Rys Farthing, Rob Watts The Precarious Generation - A Political Economy of Young People (Hardcover)
Judith Bessant, Rys Farthing, Rob Watts
R4,134 Discovery Miles 41 340 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book draws on a wealth of evidence including young people's own stories, to document how they are now faring in increasingly unequal societies like America, Britain, Australia, France and Spain. It points to systematic generational inequality as those born since 1980 become the first generation to have a lower standard of living than previous generations. While governments and experts typically explain this by referring to globalization, new technologies, or young people's deficits, the authors of this book offer a new political economy of generations, which identifies the central role played by governments promoting neoliberal policies that exacerbate existing social inequalities based on age, ethnicity, gender and class. The book is a must read for social science students, human service workers and policy-makers and indeed for anyone interested in understanding the impact of government policy over the last 40 years on young people.
