Book excerpt: Youth unemployment is a growing concern. Youth are in a critical stage in their lives where they are transitioning from school to work. For youth that are not able to find employment soon after high school, it may have detrimental impacts on future employment. Youth unemployment can be a slippery slope of personal and financial struggles. Several variables, such as human and social capital impact the ability for youth to find employment. The paper will examine social capital and human capital as two major contributors to youth unemployment. Social capital refers to social relationships. Social relationships are an important resource of employment. Social capital was identified as a strong indicator of employment due to the necessity of social skills required to find and retain employment. Human capital is another strong indicator of youth unemployment. Human capital is identified as qualifications, skills, and knowledge. Policy has been enacted to address various components that are linked to youth unemployment. U.S. policy has implemented academic policy aimed to provide job skills for youth exiting high school; economic incentives have been utilized to encourage the hiring of unemployed youth. The paper will analyze policy implemented by the U.S. and other countries used to address the concerns with youth unemployment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The education to work transition of young people is key to a successful work-life and to fight youth unemployment. The book provides an impressive outline of the facts and convincing insights of the potential causes. This offers a large and broader audience help to adjust properly to achieve a better life.” Klaus F. Zimmermann, IZA, Bonn, Germany This work points to the youth experience gap as a key concept to explain the meager employment opportunities and earnings many young people face.The transition from education to work remains a long dark tunnel around the world. However, this book shows that there are striking differences between countries: in Germany, the young people of today are no worse off than their adult counterparts, while in Southern European and Eastern European countries they fare 3 through 4 times worse. The current economic and financial crisis has further exacerbated the situation for young people in many advanced economies. Observers are divided as to the optimal design of youth employment policy. Liberalists believe that the market itself should address youth disadvantages. More flexible labor markets should also guarantee greater labor turnover, including temporary work, so as to allow young people to move from one job to the next until they accumulate the work experience they need to become more employable and find the right career. In contrast, other economists oppose approaches focusing on entry flexibility and temporary work, claiming that the former type helps only the most skilled and motivated target groups, while the latter only allows young people to gather generic, not job-specific work experience.

Book excerpt: Because much of the concern about youth unemployment is motivated by the large differences between the rates for blacks and whites, we have pursued our earlier work by analyzing separately for black and white youth the relationship between high school preparation and early labor force experience. We find no striking differences between the determinants of weeks worked by whites and non-whites upon graduation from high school. Although vocational training in high school bears little relationship to weeks worked upon graduation, hours worked while in high school bear a strong relationship to later employment for students and non-students, white and non-white. Academic performanceas measured by standardized test scores and high school class rank isalso positively related to later weeks worked by non-students, both white and non-white. Young persons find jobs in large part through friends and relatives or through direct application to employers orpossibly a combination of the two. Persons who are not looking forwork--and would then be classified as out of the labor force, according to standard definitions--are apparently quite distinct from personswho are looking for work. Those out of the labor force seem not tobe "discouraged workers" for the most part. Controlling for other individual attributes, non-whites are much more likely than whites to be in a post-secondary school full-time (although without controlling for these attributes the reverse is true). A large proportion of young men in school are also working part-time and a significant number are working full-time. A sizeable proportion of persons in post-secondary schools would be classified as unemployed based on official definitions. Indeed the unemployment rate among these full-time students is generally more than twice the rate among young men not inschool. Few high school graduates are chronically unemployed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uses a sample of 324 young adults in four Canadian urban centers who left high school in the mid-1980s, as well as interviews with their parents, former teachers, and employers, to identify factors that ease the transition from school to work. Looks at factors such as level of education, social class, gender, and motivation, with emphasis on the importance of cooperative education. Suggests closer relations between school and work, such as exist in the UK and Sweden, to facilitate transition into the labor market. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: The idea of a 'classless society' is very much in the forefront of current political debate. For young people who are reaching adulthood and making the difficult transition from school to work, how does this new social order present itself? Dr. Furlong examines this question using material drawn from a nationally representative sample of over 4,000 young people who were contacted over a two and a half year period. He describes their experiences in the light of education's newly acquired emphasis on vocationalism, the growing problem of youth unemployment and the replacement of jobs for school leavers by 'training' schemes. From a desire to investigate whether or not there exists a new sense of equality of opportunity, the conclusion reached is that, despite radical social and educational changes, the experience of young people moving between school and work has been little affected: real progress towards a truly classless society is hard to identify.
