Summary:

This report analyzes the situation of youth employment and unemployment in the context of the jobs crisis and identifies successful policy measures in OECD countries. It also discusses structural reforms in education and in the labor market that can facilitate the transition from school to work. The report draws on both recent data and the main lessons that emerged from the 16 country reviews (for Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovak Republic, Spain, United Kingdom and United States) conducted as part of the OECD Jobs for Youth program.--Publisher's description.
