Youth Long-Term Unemployment and Its Social Consequences in Italy: ‘In a World That Does Not Belong to Me’

Thriving in the face of youth unemployment: The role of personal and social resources

“…While families provide financial and social support, it would also be possible to have tension between them for not having established independent lives despite their educational status (cf. Monticelli et al, 2016;Nikolaev, 2015;Rantakeisu, et al, 1997). In a similar point of view, unemployed college graduates might have problems with their significant others (e.g., romantic partner), as they do not have sufficient income and material resources to maintain their relationships (see Lorenzini & Giugni, 2016;Monticelli et al, 2016).…”

Placing greater emphasis on the value of non-market activities undertaken in and for communities may guard against these negative effects 23 .…”

Think about the stakeholders first! Toward an algorithmic transparency playbook for regulatory compliance

“…To make the discussion concrete, we use a running example of an ADS implemented in Portugal to try and prevent long-term unemployment (being unemployed for 12 months or more) (de Troya et al, 2018; Zejnilović et al, 2020, 2021). The long-term unemployed are particularly vulnerable persons, and tend to earn less once they find new jobs, have poorer health and have children with worse academic performance as compared to those who had continuous employment (Nichols et al, 2013).
