As job markets become more competitive and many western economies experience recession, young people are one of the groups that suffer most. This important collection examines many of the most pressing issues facing young people in finding work. From the reasons why organizations are often reluctant to employ young people, to issues of motivation and confidence which often affect young people’s perspective in looking for work, the book covers several interventions within both the public and private sector. Driven by some of the key theoretical tenets of work psychology, the book offers practical solutions which can benefit not only young people themselves, but also the wider community.
