“…This comparison between French and Canadian statistical categorizations clearly shows the existence of two different 'systems of insertion', defined by Lefresne (2003) as the sets of laws and institutions that structure young people's access to remunerative relationships in each national context. Examining calendar variables makes it possible to oppose two training-employment schemes: French sequential reasoning, which separates periods of study from periods of employment, contrasts with Canadian combinatory reasoning.…”

“…In analysing normative configurations, we are able to understand the differences in statistical categorization found in both the downstream analysis of results and the upstream production of data. These differences can be understood using the notion of 'system of insertion', defined by Lefresne (2003) as the sets of laws and institutions that structure young people's access to remunerative relationships in each national context. We thus try to show how the systems of surveys reflect different 'systems of insertion' by the way of the two subsets Lefresne (2003) proposes: 'the training-employment scheme' and 'the role young people play in the overall process of mobility in the labour force'.…”

Statistical Categorization of Young People’s Entry into the Labour Market

This article uses a sociological approach to social statistics and international comparison to compare the ways national statistics institutions present young people’s entry into the labour market in France and Canada. The history of the two systems of surveys shows their diverging development with regards to the measure of insertion. Examining the calendar variables used in two French and two Canadian recent longitudinal surveys, we argue that the differences reflect two aspects of the sets of codes, rules and laws in each national context: two training-employment schemes (sequential/combinatory) and two labour market regulations (statutory/professional).

“…On peut tout de même signaler les tenta琀椀ves d'inscrip琀椀on de la no琀椀on dans un cadre interpréta琀椀f plus vaste. C'est le cas des travaux inspirés de l'analyse sociétale comme ceux de Verdier (1996), qui analyse les spéci昀椀cités du modèles français d'inser琀椀on, ou de Lefresne (2003), qui dé昀椀nit les « systèmes nationaux d'insertion professionnelle » comme « l'ensemble des normes et des institutions qui encadrent l'accès des jeunes à la relation salariale dans chaque ensemble national » et combinent deux éléments : « le mode d'articulation formation-emploi et la place qu'occupent les jeunes dans l'ensemble des processus de mobilité de la main-d'oeuvre ». Par ailleurs, nombre de travaux ont mis l'accent sur la dimension processuelle de l'inser琀椀on en u琀椀lisant des no琀椀ons que Verdier et Vultur (2016) jugent heuris琀椀ques, comme celles de parcours professionnel ou de transi琀椀on, qui perme琀琀ent d'établir des liens entre les diverses dimensions de la vie et les temporalités dans lesquelles elles s'exercent.…”

“…As regards youth labour market analysis, we specify at the outset that, although official statistics tend to focus on the 15‐24 age group, there is considerable debate about the pros and cons of various definitions of youth and their consequences in the study of labour market performance and dynamics (see e.g. Lefresne, 2003; O'Higgins, 1997)[3].…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of financial crises on the youth unemployment rate (YUR). The authors consider different types of financial crises (systemic banking crises, non‐systemic banking crises, currency crises and debt crises) and different groups of countries, according to their income level.Design/methodology/approachAfter a review of the existing (theoretical and empirical) literature on the determinants of the YUR in general and at the occurrence of economic crises, the authors present empirical estimations on the impact of past financial crises on young workers. The relationship between financial crises and YUR is investigated by employing fixed effects panel estimation on a large panel of countries (about 70) around the world for the period 1980‐2005. The “persistence” over time of the impact is also investigated. Finally the Arellano‐Bond dynamic panel is estimated, confirming the significance of the results.FindingsAccording to the authors’ empirical estimates, two key results are relevant: financial crises have an impact on the YUR that goes beyond the impact resulting from GDP changes; and the effect on the YUR is greater than the effect on overall unemployment. The inclusion of many control variables – including in particular GDP growth – does not change the sign and significance of the key explanatory variable. The results suggest that financial crises affect the YUR for five years after the onset of the crises; however, the most adverse effects are found in the second and third year after the financial crisis.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough fully aware of the peculiarities of the last crisis, the authors believe that the econometric results facilitate a better understanding of the impact of the 2007‐2008 financial crisis on the youth labour market.Practical implicationsThe main policy implication is that effective active labour market policies and better school‐to‐work transition institutions are particularly needed to reduce the risk of persistence and structural (long‐term) unemployment, since young people have been worst affected by the last crisis.Originality/valueThere are many studies on the characteristics and causes of youth unemployment; considerable research has also been carried out into the labour market impact of financial crises. This paper brings the two strands of literature together, by econometrically investigating the impact of financial crises on YUR.
