Originally published in 1983, this book promotes understanding of the provision for the young unemployed in Britain in the 1980s, both in policy and practice, through a series of research-based papers. Various strategies are analyzed which were available to policy makers. The place of black youth amongst the unemployed, and the connections between unemployment and street violence are also discussed. The book focusses on Britain but high levels of youth unemployment were found all over the Western world during that period.

Originally published in 1985, this book brings together diverse perspectives of global policy and experience concerning threatened or high levels of youth unemployment and the measures taken in the countries concerned. From the examples quoted it is obvious that there was little consensus concerning what one is led to believe life after school is about or what one would like life after school to be about, and how these expectations and aspirations may be accommodated.
