Socio-economic Development
Youth Employment: Characteristics, Tensions and Challenges
URL: http://www.eclac.cl/publicaciones/xml/8/31928/Weller.pdf Youth employment problems affect not only the welfare of young people themselves but also some key elements of socio-economic development in general. This article examines the circumstances, origins and consequences of these problems and reviews the statistical information available on recent trends in youth employment variables. The figures show that the occupational position of young people has deteriorated in absolute terms along with labour markets generally and that, contrary to some expectations, it has not improved in relative terms either.
