Jugendarbeitslosigkeit

Trotz eines Rückgangs ist die EU-Jugendarbeitslosenquote nach wie vor sehr hoch. Laut EU-Kommission sind derzeit 4,5 Millionen junge Menschen (im Alter von 15 bis 24 Jahren) arbeitslos. Einem großen Teil dieser Generation droht durch fehlende Zukunftsperspektiven soziale Ausgrenzung mit weitreichenden Folgen. Mit Maßnahmen wie der Europäischen Ausbildungsallianz und Jugendgarantien der Länder soll entgegengesteuert werden.
Diese Infoplattform bietet einen Einblick in die Literatur zu den Determinanten von und Strategien gegen Jugendarbeitslosigkeit auf nationaler wie internationaler Ebene.

    Quintini, Glenda & Sebastien Martin (2006): Starting well or losing their way? The position of youth in the labour market in OECD countries. (OECD social, employment and migration working papers 39), Paris, 71 S. DOI:10.1787/351848125721

    Abstract

    "Despite the fact that today's young cohorts are smaller in number and better educated than their older counterparts, high youth unemployment remains a serious problem in many OECD countries. This reflects a variety of factors, including the relatively high proportion of young people leaving school without a basic educational qualification, the fact that skills acquired in initial education are not always well adapted to labour market requirements, as well as general labour market conditions and problems in the functioning of labour markets. The paper highlights the trends in youth labour market performance over the past decade using a wide range of indicators. It also presents new evidence on i) the length of transitions from school to work; ii) the wages, working conditions and stability of jobs performed by youth; and iii) the degree of so-called 'over-education', i.e. the gap between the skills of young people and the jobs they get."

    Breen, Richard (2005): Explaining cross-national variation in youth unemployment. Market and institutional factors. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 21, H. 2, S. 125-134. DOI:10.1093/esr/jci008

    Abstract

    "There is wide variation in youth unemployment among OECD countries. This paper seeks to explain some of this variation on the basis of institutional and economic differences between countries. Economic differences are captured by the rate of adult unemployment, which proxies for the overall state of the labour market. Two institutional factors play a central part: the educational system's role in signalling the suitability of a job seeker for a particular job, and the degree to which employers are prevented from dismissing workers. I show that, as might be expected, relative to the level of adult unemployment, youth unemployment is high in regulated labour markets in which employers are restricted in their freedom to dismiss unsuitable workers. Conversely, it tends to be low in liberal labour markets and also in countries in which the educational system sends very clear signals about job seekers' abilities and skills. This latter can offset the tendency for higher youth unemployment in regulated labour markets. These arguments are supported by the results of regression analyses using data from 27 OECD countries from the late 1990s." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
