The Youth Labour Market in Britain

This book is concerned with the effects of successive government policies to promote the vocational education, training and employment of young people. The treatment is both historical and analytical, and is based on extensive field research. The Youth Labour Market in Britain studies over time demographic, educational, economic and technological developments, that have greatly influenced the youth labor market, and relates them to assessments of the effects on employers and the national economy. These effects are compared with the alternative, no-policy positions.
