Reviews'The majority of the world's youth labor force is unemployed. Recognizing and analyzing youth unemployment as an inherent 'global' social problem, this book takes an innovative and insightful view of this phenomenon. It explores youth unemployment not only in its current state across both the Global North and the Global South, but also deals with its historical as well as institutional origins and analyzes economic consequences under the neoliberal paradigm. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in global social policy and labor issues.', 'Youth unemployment, as a social policy and social movement issue, now has its definitive treatment in this magnificent book by Ross Fergusson and Nicola Yeates. Going beyond methodological nationalism it outlines lucidly the causes of endemic youth unemployment on a global scale. It calls for a Global Compact for Youth Employment to address the scandalous fact that nearly half of the world's unemployed are between 15 and 24 years of age. This is historically grounded, policy relevant, critical analysis at its best.', 'Fergusson and Yeates' distinctive voice narrates a timely diagnosis of an acute but understudied phenomenon. This is a book of big ideas on global youth unemployment, viewed through historical and contemporary lenses.', 'The two authors are very dear and consistent with respect to their purpose, which is a merit to them. In turn, it makes it easier to understand and discuss their viewpoint. For practitioners, the main interest may be to learn how public support and public governance is creating youth unemployment too. This is neither a novelty - except for a truism: it offers another opportunity to consider what professionals are accepting, and what they should not accept.', 'This book is a manifesto of global social policy. ...Global Youth Unemployment features a strong empirical analysis underpinning its major arguments. With an extensive collection of the worldwide employment data from various sources, Fergusson and Yeates convincingly portrait the characteristics of the youth labor forces and the profiles of endemic YU. The extent of data compilation across the regions and over time is remarkable, illustrating the steady rise of YU globally. ...Fergusson and Yeates also demonstrate their excellent expertise in the historical development of global policies toward YU. ...For social policy scholarship, this book sheds new light on a centuries-old social question by linking (un-)employment with the structural transformations of the global economy, and how the latter adversely impact on the youth cohorts of the Global North and South alike.', 'It is fantastic reading, and the overall recommendation is that this book deserves a broad readership. Academics, First of all, since they represent a transmission of the assumptions to a broader spectre of students who need to get familiar with the outcomes of the perspectives promoted by Ferguson and Yeates.'

SynopsisThis timely book introduces a fresh perspective on youth unemployment by analysing it as a global phenomenon. Continuously-escalating rates of youth unemployment have become endemic, normalised features of contemporary society. Ross Fergusson and Nicola Yeates argue that only by incorporating analysis of the dynamics of the global economy and global governance can we make convincing, comprehensive sense of these developments. The authors present new substantial evidence spanning a century pointing to the strong relationships between youth unemployment, globalisation, economic crises and consequent harms to young people's social and economic welfare worldwide. The book notably encompasses data and analysis spanning the Global South as well as the Global North. The authors' innovative exploration is holistic in approach and committed to analyses that span histories, territories, academic disciplines and policy contexts. Providing new statistical examination of the incidence, distribution, impacts and putative causes, this book presents a highly original interpretation of youth unemployment and its global governance. It calls for urgently-needed robust responses on a global scale. Global Youth Unemployment is essential reading for students and academics within the fields of social, labour, public and economic policy as well as policy makers within the youth employment and unemployment sectors.
