Research teams from the University of Leicester and the
University of Glasgow aim to explore unemployment, insecurity and vulnerability
among young people during two key periods of economic instability
Researchers are investigating the experiences of unemployed
young people during two of the worst periods for youth unemployment.
‘The making of the ‘precariat’: unemployment, insecurity and
work-poor young adults in harsh economic conditions’ is a one-year research
project which will examine youth unemployment in the mid-1980s and from
2009-11.
