Youth unemployment and joblessness are major issues for national governments and international organizations across the globe. In this respect, the school-to-work transition challenge is increasingly raising the interest of companies, education and training institutions, families and young people themselves, who are often involved in precarious and illegal forms of employment, in many countries of the world. In the field of industrial and labour relations, the school-to-work perspective seems particularly suitable for policy formulation and assessment: the broad and complex range of tools, strategies and policies for enabling youth training and their access to the labour market is deserving of a closer analysis at an international level in a time when jobless recovery threatens national economies. The ADAPT LABOUR STUDIES BOOK-SERIES has in connection been set up with a view to achieving a better understanding of the causes, consequences and possible responses to the issue in a global dimension through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach.

This article introduces the special issue. Unemployment in Argentina, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain is placed in the context of global economics. The end of full employment in Sweden was part of an international deinstitutionalization that connected employment closely to economic growth. The immediate causes of the economic decline and mass unemployment in Sweden were a financial crash and neoliberal government policies. The ambiguity of unemployment in the criteria for evaluating the performance of policy-makers and three different cultures among unemployed people are outlined. An overview of what is known about the consequences of unemployment in terms of excess illness and mortality is given.

Unemployment is a serious problem in the world. It is becoming more and more serious day by day. Many people in the world today are jobless. The problem of unemployment is rising fast. Every able bodied man and woman must get employment. If not, the problem of unemployment will create difficulties for the development of countries.

Measuring unemployment is the mission of Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK). Employed includes both full-time and part-time workers. This category also includes those who were not working but who had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of, for instance, vacation, illness or bad weather. On the other hand, unemployed includes people who are not working, are available for work, and have tried to find work in the past four weeks. This also includes those who are waiting to be called back to the old job. Those not in the labour force include full-time students, homemakers, and retirees. Additionally, discouraged workers are individuals who would like to work but have given up looking for a job.

Unemployment is a challenging matter for all countries especially for developing countries. Unemployment creates both economic and social problems. Youth unemployment is also serious and growing problem in the world. Global economic crisis made it clear that youth unemployment is more sensible than adult unemployment to crisis. Since youth unemployment has an impact on both today and future in terms of economies, it brings a priority to focus on youth unemployment. As an indicator of inefficiencies for economies, youth unemployment can be seen as loss of resources. Increases in youth unemployment creates hopeless generation and reserve army of unemployed and it harms economies deeply now and future. The aim of this paper is to explain the importance, causes and consequences of youth unemployment and policies to fight against it.

One key issue that affects all developing nations, including India, is unemployment. In India, there are not many occupations that are open, and the number of children is always rising. Here, there is an imbalance between supply and demand that leads to unemployment and a rapid rate of erasure, comparable to a compound charge. A skilled and talented person who wanted to engage in an activity but was unable to do so is said to be unemployed. I am unable to locate a suitable work, though, for a number of reasons. There is a great deal of risk and uncertainty in the agricultural and commercial sectors. It is without a doubt a severe issue that India's unemployment rate is rising. Without making an effort, we cannot expect to achieve contentment in any situation, and this may be especially true as the population increases. In order for everyone to find acceptable job and support the progress of the nation, we must solve unemployment. Adolescent Indians have significant obstacles due to poverty and layers of human capital. Male adolescents in their adult years are frequently hired for informal occupations in both rural and urban locations. While urban boys are primarily employed in the service sector, rural men are gradually migrating away from farming in favor of non-agricultural jobs. Taking this into account, the theoretical focus of this research article is on unemployment in India.

Unemployment is not only an economic problem; it is mother of almost all the problems ranging from economic, political, social, educational, psychological, emotional, cultural, ethnical and religious, to any other category of problems encountered by people and the nations. If it is solved, half of the problems in the world would end up in a jiffy. Unemployment is a problem that gradually eats away the very vitalities of the nation and tends to corrupt the life of the people inhabiting it. Unemployment sometimes leads to the problems which could have been averted only if the government of the nation could provide some sort of fruitful economic activity for the people to sustain their lives. It is a hard reality of almost all the underdeveloped and developing nations that they find it difficult to deal with this gigantic problem and just fall into its trap. The nations which suffer from the problem of unemployment can hardly develop with full force and do what they are capable of. It is with this thought that that present paper analyses the problem of unemployment from the perspective of education as the cause of unemployment.

ABSTRACT: This paper underlines, first of all, that diverse ways to define and compute the unemployed people used by various countries produces different figures, and images too, of this phenomenon. Using overly restricted criteria means depriving oneself of useful information. Secondly, the author explains the profound differences between traditional unemployment and contemporary joblessness, which concerns many young people in Western countries. Finally, the author discusses this new feature of the unemployment phenomenon, and affirms that joblessness is not a ‘non-use‘ but rather a ‘new-use‘ of young people by modern capitalistic societies.
