The Impact of Youth Policy Measures on the Labour Market

“…According to the demand view, the principal reason for high and increased joblessness is the lack of adequate demand for youth workers due such factors as slow economic growth, cyclical weaknesses in the economy, changes in the mix jobs which alter the level of demand, and effects of minimum wages on employment dynamics (Baranowska, Gebel 2010;Cuesta et al 2011;Christopoulou 2013;Junankar 2015). According to the supply view, the principal reason for high and increased youth joblessness is a lack of skills, incentives and/or aspirations on the part of young (Korpysa 2010;Graham et al 2014;Turek 2015;Cunningham, Villasenor 2016;Hallsten et al 2017).…”
