Annotation:

Based on extensive interviews with young people between the ages of 18 and 30 in six countries across Europe, this source shows how rapid global economic and employment change, together with shifts in family structure and the gendering of work and home life, shape young people's orientations to work, the family and their combination. It looks at young people in a range of socio-economic groups and at various points in the world of work, from the unemployed through those in education or training, to those with steady jobs.

Publisher Description:

Based on qualitative research carried out with young people aged from 18 to 30 in five European countries, Young Europeans, Work and Family examines young people's pathways to adulthood, and their perspectives on their future work and family lives.

This enlightening book investigates young people from a range of social classes and at various phases in their life: in training, in higher education, in insecure work and in steady jobs, including high- and low-status employment. The study was carried out by a cross-disciplinary team of researchers from Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the UK, countries that represent a variety of economic profiles and welfare state regimes.
