Title: Youth Outcomes in the Labour Markets of Advanced Economies: Decline, Deterioration, and Causes
Abstract: In recent decades, things appear to have gone wrong for young workers in advanced economies. Young people find it harder to get jobs, even in unskilled work, than did their parents and grandparents. The symptoms include extensive unemployment and inactivity. The unemployment rate of 15- to 24-year-olds has averaged more than 20 percent in France since the early 1980s. In the United Kingdom, around one in ten 16- to 25-year-olds has been inactive – that is, out of school, training, and the labour market – since the mid-1980s.
