This timely analysis examines the complex state of youth
unemployment across Europe and offers cogent policy suggestions
for addressing this longstanding societal problem. The findings
reveal numerous national and regional factors affecting youth
joblessness―not only market and economic challenges, but also
deep sociocultural and political dynamics underlying the
situations. Coverage details how the standard transition from
school to work is disrupted in an already depressed adult job
market, and compares a wide range of responses in terms of both
young people’s educational decision-making and national youth
policy. In particular, contributors assess whether the current
crop of Youth Guarantee programs can/should be a model for
employment policy across the continent.
