Opis

This book presents multidisciplinary perspectives on the increasing, and global problem, of youth unemployment and insecurity. It provides international explorations on the experience of youth labour across the globe. The authors offer a radical critique of neo-liberal solutions to ‘solving’ the problem of youth unemployment by ‘tinkering’ with the policy system. They aim to offer a ‘thicker picture’ and a more encompassing understanding of the situation global youth are experiencing.
