Understanding the European Transition from School to Work

In this article, Markus Gangl's article "Labor Market Changes and Early Career Achievements: Access to European Labor Markets in the Last Decade" is being analyzed. In many Western European countries, the unemployment rate of young people rose in the 1980s and remained high in the 1990s. Many young workers had been waiting for a long time before finding a job "living with their parents living longer" (Blancheflower, 2000: 4). The problem of youth unemployment problems and the transition of market participants from school to work is a phenomenon.

The youth unemployment rate is most serious, even among young people and countries where it is difficult to shift to the labor market before the crisis. However, some countries can endure the storm and reduce the unemployment rate of young people. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the unemployment rate of young people in Italy and Portugal rose to over 35%, the unemployment rate of youths in Greece and Spain rose to 50%, and the youths of Austria, Germany and Switzerland Unemployment Rate is 10% There are dual vocational training systems that combine vocational education and structured learning in all three countries.
