This is a combination of qualitative and quantitative data, collected at both a national and a local level, examining the impact of the recession on the structure of youth labour markets, and contributing to the development of labour market segmentation theory. This book attempts to explain the main changes which have transformed the labour market during the recession. It demonstrates the segmented character of the youth labour market and the significance of the local labour markets. It provides an analysis of social policy in this field.
