Young People and Precarious Labour Markets brings together leading scholars to examine how job insecurity and changing employment conditions affect youth and young adults across Europe.Set against the backdrop of an ongoing polycrisis – marked by economic, technological, and socio-political disruptions – this book explores how labour conditions for young people and young adults are being reshaped. The essays collected in this volume examine youth transitions to adulthood, entrepreneurship, career development, and the pressure of passion-driven industries through qualitative and quantitative research, intersectional perspectives, and cross-regional comparisons. Together, the chapters diagnose the precarization of work, showing how it varies across Europe, while contributing to discussions on social policies, trade unions, and collective action, calling for urgent structural changes to address the challenges of contemporary labour markets.As a key text for policymakers concerned with the future of work and labour market reform in Europe, this collection will appeal to advanced students and scholars of sociology, labour studies, youth studies, industrial relations, political economy, and social policy.

Incel and red pill online groups are expanding rapidly in Italy, where narratives of self-victimization, hate speech, and violence against women are propagated among young men facing economic hardship and diminishing prospects. This book provides a timely, comprehensive analysis of these groups by examining the 'negative solidarity' rooted in the economic and social challenges impacting young middle-class masculinities.Based on a rich digital ethnography, author Annalisa Dordoni delves into the economic conditions that affect the life paths and narratives emerging from Italian incel groups. Mapping the manosphere and its subgroups alongside economic and labour transformations that influence masculinity, such as the rise of service-based economies, increased job precariousness, lack of access in youth work opportunities, and middle-class impoverishment, Dordoni examines incels self-victimization narratives. The chapters explore how hate speech and violence are justified, co-created, re-produced, socialized and reinforced online within these narratives of a supposedly female-dominated society. This publication fills an urgent gap in the study of Italian manosphere groups, providing a detailed, context-specific account of how these discourses are shaped by Italy s unique socio-economic landscape.Highlighting how tackling the real-life economic and social challenges young men face is essential for the urgent need to prevent further propagation of gender-based violence and hate online, this book is invaluable to scholars, policymakers and those working in fields of economic and labour sociology, gender studies, and youth studies.
