First austerity, now COVID-19: youth unemployment will scar the recovery and damage lives for years unless governments on both sides of the Atlantic re-examine what has worked (and what has not) to get young people into the workforce. A road map toward a better future for millions, this book is a must-read for experts and policy makers. Josef Konvitz, University of Glasgow Professor Jagannathan and her collaborators use richly textured case studies to identify the institutional, political and cultural arrangements underpinning high youth unemployment in Southern Mediterranean countries, and offer practical policy insights.
