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.

Youth unemployment: individual risk factors and institutional determinants: a case study of Germany and the United Kingdom (2003)

Isengard, Bettina (2003): Youth unemployment: individual risk factors and institutional determinants. A case study of Germany and the United Kingdom. In: Journal of youth studies, Jg. 6, H. 4, S. 357-376.
Abstract
"This paper deals with youth unemployment trends in Europe since the mid-1980s in general, and regards individual risk factors in the mid-1990s for Germany and the United Kingdom in particular. The study of the two selected countries shows that the individual risk of (long-term) unemployment is not equally high for all young people, but rather depends on various socioeconomic and structural factors like gender education, nationality and region of residence. The individual level of education is an important determinant of occupational success, while the country-specific organization of educational systems and labour market institutions also affects different occupational outcomes. In addition, the welfare state structures and policies may determine labour market outcomes. Germany and the United Kingdom responded to the increasing problems of youth unemployment with the active labour market programs 'JUMP' and 'New Deal for Young People'; the concepts and results of these are discussed."

Social exclusion and the transition from school to work: the case of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) (2002)
Zitatform
Bynner, John & Samantha Parsons (2002): Social exclusion and the transition from school to work. The case of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET). In: Journal of vocational behavior, Jg. 60, H. 2, S. 289-309. DOI:10.1006/jvbe.2001.1868
Abstract
"In the modern labor market what Côté (1996) describes as 'identity capital' -- comprising educational, social, and psychological resources -- is at a premium in entering and maintaining employment. One consequence is the extension of education and training while young people acquire the qualifications and skills that will enhance their employability. In accordance with the perspective of life span developmental psychology, this places particular pressure on those young people growing up in disadvantaged circumstances and lacking support, especially when attempting to negotiate the transition from school to work. A particular policy concern in Britain has been directed at those young people who leave full-time education at the minimum age of 16 and then spend a substantial period not in education, employment, or training (NEET). This article reports the result of analyzing longitudinal data, collected for a subsample of the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study surveyed at age 21, to model the relationship of NEET status to earlier educational achievement and circumstances and to assess the added difficulties NEET poses in relation to the building of adult identity capital. It is concluded that although poor educational achievement is the major factor in entering NEET, inner city living for boys and lack of parental interest in their education for girls are also important. For young men the consequences of NEET lie mainly in subsequent poor labor market experience. For young women, the majority of whom are teenage mothers, the damaging effects of NEET extend to the psychological domain as well. It is concluded that effective counseling targeted at high risk groups, along the lines of the new UK 'ConneXions' service, are needed to help young people avoid the damaging effects of NEET and make a successful transition to adult life."

New Deal for Young People: participants' perspectives (2000)
Ritchie, Jane;Zitatform
Ritchie, Jane (2000): New Deal for Young People. Participants' perspectives. In: Policy Studies, Jg. 21, H. 4, S. 301-312. DOI:10.1080/713691372
Abstract
"New Deal for Young People (NDYP) plays a central role in current welfare to work strategies. Launched in 12 Pathfinder areas in January 1998, and extended nationally in April 1998, the programme aims to assist young people who have been unemployed for 6 months or more in finding sustainable employment. This article examines some key features of NDYP from the perspectives of participants. It first considers the considerable diversity of young unemployed people who enter the programme and their very differing needs. It then examines the patterns of departure into employment from the programme and explores whether some routes appear more durable than others. Finally, some discussion is devoted to the variety of ways in which 'employability' can be strengthened during NDYP and to the qualities of the programme that most enhance them. The analysis is based on accumulated evidence from a series of qualitative studies carried out as part of the main evaluation programme." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Psychological well-being and access to categories of experience in unemployed young adults (1991)
Haworth, J. T.; Ducker, J.;Zitatform
Haworth, J. T. & J. Ducker (1991): Psychological well-being and access to categories of experience in unemployed young adults. In: Leisure Studies, Jg. 10, H. 3, S. 265-274. DOI:10.1080/02614369100390241
Abstract
"The study investigated the correlations between a range of important categories of experience and psychological well-being in 22 unemployed young adults. The methods used included questionnaires, psychological scales and Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) where respondents answer a short series of questions in a diary on the receipt of signals from a personal bleeper. The results showed that in this sample ‘hope for the future’, ‘reduced financial strain’, access to Jahoda's ‘categories of experience’, in particular ‘activity’, and also ‘enjoyment’ were associated with important and different dimensions of psychological well-being. The study also found that those unemployed individuals with better access to Jahoda's categories of experience have better psychological well-being and engage in more work-like and active leisure activities than those with less access. Additionally, it was found that there are important correlations between access to Jahoda's categories of experience and hope for the future and enjoyment; and it is suggested that these intercorrelations could be very usefully explored further to study the dynamics of person-situation interactions important for psychological well-being."
