Furthermore, they seek to assess the opportunities and constraints of promotion policies in transition economies. Most importantly, the book provides the first empirical contribution to youth entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe by offering a representative number of case studies.

The level of educational attainment and skills of young people have a strong influence on economic activity and consequently on their employment rates. Grade point averages (GPA) of undergraduate ...studies keep on being a relevant selection tool in the employment process. GPA metric is believed to be an index of mental ability related later to job performance and successful outcomes. Youth employment in Albania and North Macedonia is low and unresponsive to the education of young people. This study offers an overview of youth unemployment rates in the Western Balkan countries. It uses survey analyses of tertiary graduates of economics programs at Luigj Gurakuqi University (LGU) in Albania and South-East European University (SEEU) in North Macedonia. A comparative analysis focusing on the determinants of the employability of economics graduates in the last decade is realized using qualitative and quantitative analyses for each university. Logistic regression results indicate that the GPA of the bachelor program is an important factor in the employment of graduates. Additional variables such as gender, time of graduation, and obtaining a master’s degree play an important role in being employed in LG University. Developing educational attainment by updating educational and vocational curricula taking into account market demands would improve the school-to-work transition of youth.
Lost in Transition tells the story of the 'lost generation' that came of age in Japan's deep economic recession in the 1990s. The book argues that Japan is in the midst of profound changes that have ...had an especially strong impact on the young generation. The country's renowned 'permanent employment system' has unraveled for young workers, only to be replaced by temporary and insecure forms of employment. The much-admired system of moving young people smoothly from school to work has frayed. The book argues that these changes in the very fabric of Japanese postwar institutions have loosened young people's attachment to school as the launching pad into the world of work and loosened their attachment to the workplace as a source of identity and security. The implications for the future of Japanese society - and the fault lines within it - loom large.

For this paper the statistical data has been analyzed, data of the employment rate recorded for Romania, time period 2000 – 2020. The employment rate characteristics have been explored to observe the ...course by Romanian region and women’s employment rate. The gap between men’s and women’s employment rate has deepened from year 2000 to 2020. Youth’s employment rate was observed correlated with the NEETs rate and young people discouraged to search of a job. Youth living in rural areas, 15- 34 years old, have a higher tendency to be discouraged to become employed. The recommendation is to implement more partnership programs between schools, local authorities and enterprises for the youth living in the rural area to increase the participation of young people in the labour market, to reduce urban and rural areas’ gap and bring well-being to the individual and to the community.
The authors estimate the effects of an increase in the youth minimum wage in the Netherlands on low-paid workers’ employment and earnings, using a difference-in-differences approach with detailed ...administrative data. Findings show that the increase does not have a negative effect on the number of jobs or hours worked, hence raising overall earnings for affected workers. Further, the minimum wage increase has substantial spillover effects, accounting for close to 70% of the average wage increase experienced by workers. While employment grows in fixed-term and temporary help agency contracts, the authors do not find evidence of declines in employment in other types of work arrangements, nor of labor-labor substitution. Labor market outcomes evolve most favorably for full-time incumbent workers who are not enrolled in education and are thus less likely to be transient occupants of minimum wage jobs.

The corresponding research indicates that the epidemic has a negative impact on employment; in the post-epidemic era, artificial intelligence has shown great value and has a positive impact on employment; the epidemic has intensified the polarization of labour force, the demand for non-programmed interactive skills has significant growth potential; and technical unemployment runs through the whole process; more uncertain is brought in new job positions; the scope of youth employment is wider, and artificial intelligence has become a new way to promote employment.
