Youth and Employment: Creating a Productive and Dynamic Society

This book analyses the reasons why many youths fail to obtain appropriate employment and end up working as gig workers. It also seeks to analyse the unique pattern of youth unemployment and its causes which would impact the level of youth unemployment. The book allows readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of how providing decent work for young people and establishing clear career paths can act as a catalyst for a strong economy and foster a productive and dynamic society. It also provides valuable insights into how policymakers can develop effective economic policies to enhance employment opportunities for young people. Furthermore, the book serves as an essential reference for analysing the various forms and complex dynamic patterns of unemployment in the labour market, making it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners alike.
