About this book

The book covers the vocational training and employment of young workers in various European and North American advanced economies; the forms taken by regulation of youth economic activity and the effects of its deregulation; training systems, training policies and access to skilled work in various paired-country comparisons; and the links between trade unions and young workers in two country-specific case-studies.
