Young people around the world are often treated as afterthoughts in policy and program interventions. As a result, this population cohort is trapped in a vicious cycle of underdevelopment, where challenges in education, health, poverty, unemployment, and housing undermine their potential to become active and responsible citizens. Youth face hostile labor markets, stagnant economies, alcohol and drug abuse, unresponsive policies, misgovernance, misuse of resources, and limited representation in governance structures dominated by elites. Consequently, young people remain caught in a persistent trap of poverty, inequality, and unemployment that perpetuates deprivation and underdevelopment. Intergenerational Transmission of Youth Poverty and Unemployment critically explores the relationship between the intergenerational transmission of poverty and unemployment among youth, with the aim of understanding how socio-economic disadvantages are reproduced across generations. This book examines the concept of intergenerational transmission of poverty and unemployment and assesses its impact on young people's life chances and socio-economic well-being. Covering topics such as work-integrated learning, neoliberalism, and socioeconomics, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, policymakers and practitioners, scholars and researchers in academic settings, and more.
