Civil Society, Unemployment and Precarity in Europe

Abstract

Youth unemployment has become an increasingly salient concern of both policy-makers and societies across Europe. From 2008 onwards, the financial and economic crisis has exacerbated what was already a chronic situation: In December 2012 the youth unemployment rate in the EU-27 rose above 23% with countries such as Spain and Greece at a frightening peak of having one in every two young people unemployed. If we translate such percentages into numbers, we see that 5.5 million young Europeans were unemployed in 2012, a number which increases to 7.5 million if we include those who were not in employment, education, or training, the so-called NEET category (European commission 2013). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
