"This is a timely volume taking seriously the wider perspectives of
youth labor: it is not only the problem of unemployment, it is the
life course perspective; it is not only the problem of education,
it is the effective demand perspective; it is not only economic
production, but also the social reproduction perspective that
policymakers have to simultaneously consider in their endeavor to
navigate all youth into good labor market transitions. If you share
this
view, dig deep into this highly professional volume and you will
come out with richer insights. If you are skeptic, dig even deeper
to sharpen your critical mind."
-Günther Schmid, Emeritus Director, Berlin Social Science Centre
(WZB); former Professor of Political Economy, Freie Universität
Berlin
"Liberalization of labor markets and welfare protections,
exacerbated by the economic crisis of 2008-9, has created
difficulties especially for youth as they seek to transition to
employment and adulthood. This impressive volume assembles a wealth
of quantitative and qualitative information on the experiences of
European countries in coping with these difficulties, and assesses
how the dynamics of labor markets generate differences in youth
transitions by
gender, ethnicity, migration, and family structures. The valuable
chapters in this volume make essential reading for social
scientists as well as policymakers concerned with this central
social and economic
problem of our time."
-Arne L. Kalleberg, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"This book presents and integrates a huge volume of new research
analyzing the lives of young people entering labor markets in
Europe. The role of families, employers, migration, economic
crises, and regional differences in shaping transitions into and
out of employment are examined with the highest quality of writing
and scholarship. This tome is far more than a collection of
excellent chapters; it provides the most comprehensive guide yet to
the individual
and societal effects of youth labor markets, and should be read by
all researchers and policymakers who care about these things."
-Brendan Burchell, Reader in the Social Sciences, Department of
Sociology, University of Cambridge
