Description

This Routledge publication examines the historical and contemporary challenges facing young people in employment, drawing on the sociological framework of Norbert Elias. The book challenges prevailing narratives about precarious work and argues against the notion of a modern precariat, instead offering a critical analysis of how economic shifts have shaped youth employment experiences. It addresses the significant hardships encountered by young workers, particularly young women and those in economically disadvantaged regions, while critiquing policy approaches that prioritise conformity over genuine worker protections. By tracing the evolution of youth labour market participation from the past through to future prospects, this work reveals how traditional employment securities have been progressively dismantled and how increasingly punitive welfare policies have deepened inequalities. The book provides essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the structural forces affecting young workers today.
