In addition to unemployment--the usual starting point for discussion of youth and the labor market in Europe--the social scientists here also explore the over-representation of youth in part-time, temporary, and dead-end jobs; low wages that prevent an independent existence; the mismatch between the skills needed and those being taught young people; and the risk of their drifting into alienation, despair, and anti-social behavior. Some present case studies, while others consider continent-wide aspects. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
