尽管当今的年轻人比年长的年轻人数量较少且受教育程度更高，但青年失业率高仍然是许多经合组织国家的一个严重问题。这反映了多种因素，包括没有基础教育资格就离开学校的年轻人比例相对较高，在初始教育中获得的技能并不总是能很好地适应劳动力市场的要求，以及劳动力市场的总体状况和劳动力市场运作中的问题。该论文使用广泛的指标强调了过去十年青年劳动力市场表现的对比趋势。它还提供了以下方面的新证据：i) 从学校到工作的过渡时间； ii) 临时工作在多大程度上成为年轻人的陷阱或通往良好职业生涯的垫脚石。此外，本文还回顾了近期一些改善青年就业前景的政策创新。
Despite the fact that today’s young cohorts are smaller in number and better educated than their older counterparts, high youth unemployment remains a serious problem in many OECD countries. This reflects a variety of factors, including the relatively high proportion of young people leaving school without a basic education qualification, the fact that skills acquired in initial education are not always well adapted to labour market requirements, as well as general labour market conditions and problems in the functioning of labour markets. The paper highlights the contrasting trends in youth labour market performance over the past decade using a wide range of indicators. It also presents new evidence on i) the length of transitions from school to work; and ii) the degree to which temporary jobs serve as either traps for young people or stepping-stones to good careers. In addition, the paper reviews some recent policy innovations to improve youth employment prospects.
