The Educational Level as a risk Factor for Youth Exclusion from the Labour Market (original) (raw)

THE YOUNG GRADUATES AND THE LABOUR MARKET IN ROMANIA

Rezumat: Problemele tinerei generaţii (15-24 de ani), legate de piaţa forţei de muncă au crescut in ultimii 10 ani. Chiar şi în analizele statistice europene tinerii sunt prezentaţi ca fiind foarte expuşi la sărăcie, excludere socială şi discriminare pe piaţa forţei de muncă. În România, unele cercetări sociologice au subliniat faptul că problemele sociale cu acestor tineri sunt diverse: de la devalorizarea diplomelor la intenţia de a emigra. În acest articol vrem să prezentăm câteva rezultate ale unor cercetări sociale recente din România cu privire la cetăţenii mai tineri care au dreptul de a lucra, angajabilitatea acestora şi problemele legate de piaţa forţei de muncă.

Social Exclusion of Youth in Europe: Consequences of Labour Market Insecurity

Studies of Transition States and Societies, 2018

Insecure labour market positions are widespread among young people in Europe. The unemployment rate and temporary employment rate among those first entering the labour market or those who are still at the beginning of their working lives is much higher than among the rest of the working-age population (Breen, 2005; Baranowska & Gebel, 2010). There is a large body of research on micro and macro-level drivers of youth unemployment and temporary employment in Europe. From a theoretical perspective, it is usually argued that young job applicants are at a high risk of unemployment and temporary employment because, being outsiders, they lack experience, seniority, and networks in contrast to the more experienced workers, who represent the insiders (Lindbeck & Snower, 1989). Another explanation is information problems that arise in the two-sided matching process of young job applicants and employers (Sørensen & Kalleberg, 1981). It has been shown that individual resources such as education...

Evolutions Of Unemployment Among The Young Over The Economic And Financial Downturn

Annales Universitatis Apulensis Series Oeconomica, 2012

The downturn on the global financial markets that struck the world economy in the mid 2008 affected the world economy in its whole, nevertheless, it also had a great impact upon the labour force market in the European countries. After several years of economic growth and of relatively high labour force occupation rate, this caused EU to register levels of decrease that had not been registered for decades. It is crucial to know the unemployment rate among the young in order to transform the young into active persons by means of specific policies aimed at this population category. The difficulties met by the young on the labour market have significant consequences upon their standard of living, upon their families and upon the national or international communities to which they belong. The most important effects of the young's inactivity are: the risk of poverty, the incapacity to play an active role in the development of the society, the lack of freedom in changing the society of which they form part. This work presents a short analysis of the unemployment among the young at world level, at the European Union's level and Romania's level. The current economic recession imposed and still imposes on the EU member states' governments to strongly interfere on the labour force market, especially in the field of youth occupancy. This work also deals with several of the measures adopted by different European states for the reduction of the unemployment rate among the young as well as for their introduction on the labour market.
