【 摘 要 】

This study aims to investigate post-war developments in the British youth labour market, with particular reference to both the behaviour of this group's unemployment through time and its distribution cross-sectionally. It is motivated by the concern expressed in virtually all quarters in recent years about the apparent failures of this particular market to provide an adequate introduction to working life for the young of the nation. This worry relates not only to the loss of current output that joblessness entails, but also to its potential longer term personal and social consequences.
