Youth unemployment produces multiple scarring effects

McQuaid, Ronald, (2017), “Youth unemployment produces multiple scarring effects”, EUROPP, 18 Φεβρουαρίου

There are lots of problems with analysing the causes and effects of such long-term scarring and the reasons for it appear inter-connected. For instance wellbeing and mental health may affect subsequent income and chances of getting and keeping a job, but are themselves influenced by unemployment. Some broad overlapping reasons for scarring include: (1) employer responses, (2) the person’s human capital, (3) their expectations, (4) job search and (5) the influence of external factors in the economy and society.
