Youth, Jobs, and the Future by Lynn S. Chancer,Martín Sánchez-Jankowski,Christine Trost Pdf

While overall unemployment has declined, the unemployment rate remains nearly twice as high for young people 16 to 19 years of age and nearly three times as high for those aged 20 to 24. Rates of unemployment and underemployment are nearly two to three times higher for Black and Latino youth. In Youth, Jobs, and the Future, Lynn S. Chancer, Martín Sánchez-Jankowski, and Christine Trost have gathered a cast of well-known interdisciplinary scholars to confront the persistent issues of youth unemployment and worsening socio-economic precarity in the United States. The book explores structural and cultural causes of youth unemployment, their ramifications for both native and immigrant youth, and how middle- and working-class youth across diverse races and ethnicities are affected within and outside the legal economy. A needed contribution, this book locates solutions to youth unemployment in economic and political changes as well as changes in cultural attitudes.

Youth Employment: Problems and Prospects by Javeed Ahmad Pdf

The present work reflects upon the employment issues of the youth-one of the most crucial problems of contemporary times. In the absence of ample employment opportunities, the unprecedented youth bulge is emerging as a severe threat to the socio-economic development particularly in developing countries. In this backdrop, the present work explores the issues of youth employment based on the empirical evidences from the state of Jammu and Kashmir in North India. The viable approach to the holistic development is the socio-economic inclusion of the youth which relies upon a sound employment policy and optimal use of human capital.

A Systems Analytic Approach to the Employment Problems of Disadvantaged Youth by Stephen J. Carroll,Rand Corporation Pdf

The document presents a general model by means of which the economic prospects of low income urban youth can be appraised. On the conceptual level, the model facilitates the comparison of a number of phenomena which have been offered as explanations of the unsatisfactory economic futures which confront poor youth. Better understanding of the relative power of these various hypotheses and the ways in which they interact will aid in the search for program remedies. (Author).

The Black Youth Employment Crisis by Richard B. Freeman,Harry J. Holzer Pdf

In recent years, the earnings of young blacks have risen substantially relative to those of young whites, but their rates of joblessness have also risen to crisis levels. The papers in this volume, drawing on the results of a groundbreaking survey conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research, analyze the history, causes, and features of this crisis. The findings they report and conclusions they reach revise accepted explanations of black youth unemployment. The contributors identify primary determinants on both the demand and supply sides of the market and provide new information on important aspects of the problem, such as drug use, crime, economic incentives, and attitudes among the unemployed. Their studies reveal that, contrary to popular assumptions, no single factor is the predominant cause of black youth employment problems. They show, among other significant factors, that where female employment is high, black youth employment is low; that even in areas where there are many jobs, black youths get relatively few of them; that the perceived risks and rewards of crime affect decisions to work or to engage in illegal activity; and that churchgoing and aspirations affect the success of black youths in finding employment. Altogether, these papers illuminate a broad range of economic and social factors which must be understood by policymakers before the black youth employment crisis can be successfully addressed.

The Youth Labor Market Problem by Richard B. Freeman,David A. Wise Pdf

This volume brings together a massive body of much-needed research information on a problem of crucial importance to labor economists, policy makers, and society in general: unemployment among the young. The thirteen studies detail the ambiguity and inadequacy of our present standard statistics as applied to youth employment, point out the error in many commonly accepted views, and show that many critically important aspects of this problem are not adequately understood. These studies also supply a significant amount of raw data, furnish a platform for further research and theoretical work in labor economics, and direct attention to promising avenues for future programs.
