Synopsis
Much of the early literature that addresses youth unemployment has been framed within an economic paradigm and much less attention has been focused on the role played by culture in structuring economic activity. Drawing on data accumulated from fieldwork across eleven nations from the United States to Europe, this book provides a culturally-nuanced analysis of key issues relating to youth unemployment. Examining the causes and consequences of youth unemployment, it assesses ways forward to promote economic self-sufficiency. This pioneering work offers invaluable tailored policy solutions to tackle one of today's most important socio-economic issues.
