Beskrivning
Young people in Europe have been disproportionally affected by unemployment as a result of the economic crisis and a large number of the most disadvantaged are migrant youth, or those of a different ethnic origin, living in deprived city neighbourhoods. This book examines the need for more appropriate interventions aimed at improving the inclusion of young people in the labour market, bringing together theoretical reflections and empirical evidence on emerging innovative policies and practices. Using case studies from across Europe, it asks how effectively innovative interventions respond to the specific needs, motivations, aspirations and strategies of unemployed and vulnerable youth within the contextual conditions of the welfare state and locality. It also provides a new theory of the effectiveness of interventions. As social exclusion remains high among young people in Europe, Effective Interventions for Unemployed Young People in Europe is essential reading for policymakers and practitioners. This book demonstrates where we can look for effective innovative interventions and how these can potentially add up to large-scale social innovation. It is also a crucial resource for academics and students interested in social and labour inclusion measures.

Recensioner i media

'The book goes far beyond known facts when giving insights on innovative practice of activating labour market policies for young unemployed. The analysis of social projects to combat inequalities in different European cities provides a most inspiring view on success and failure. It infally underlines that policy intervention should not treat young people as a problem but as potentials.' - Irene Dingeldey, University of Bremen 'Based on a critical review of mainstream activation approaches and building on debates about tailor-made, personalized activation services, this book elaborates the argument that the match between people’s needs/ambitions and the characteristics of interventions constitutes the core mechanism in making activation policies effective. By analyzing the theoretical principles underlying this mechanism, providing data from casestudies and discussing policy implications, the book offers stimulating reading for a broad audience.' - Rik van Berkel, Utrecht University
