Since 2008's economic and financial crisis, the share of unemployed youth has exceeded any other group of unemployed adults. This phenomenon marks the emergence of a laborscape. This concept recognizes that although youth unemployment is not consistent across the world it is a coherent problem in the global political economy.
This book examines this crisis of youth unemployment, drawing on international case studies. It is organized around four key dimensions of the crisis—precarity, flexibility, migration, and policy responses. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the chapters offer a dynamic portrait of unemployment and how this is being challenged through new modes of resistance. This book provides cross-national comparisons, both ethnographic and quantitative, to explore the contours of this laborscape at the global, national, and local scales. Throughout these varied case studies is a common narrative from young workers, families, students, volunteers, and activists facing a new and growing problem.
This book will be an imperative resource for students and researchers looking at the Sociology of Globalization, Global Political Economy, Labor Markets and Economic Geography.
