Youth Jobs and the Future Problems and Prospects
In Youth, Jobs, and the Future, Lynn S. Chancer, Martn Snchez-Jankowski, and Christine Trost have gathered a cast of well-known interdisciplinary scholars to confront the persistent issues of youth unemployment and worsening socio-economic precarity in the United States. The book explores
structural and cultural causes of youth unemployment, their ramifications for both native and immigrant youth, and how middle- and working-class youth across diverse races and ethnicities are affected within and outside the legal economy. A needed contribution, this book locates solutions to youth
unemployment in economic and political changes as well as changes in cultural attitudes.
