Jugendarbeitslosigkeit

The project explores the conditions and effects of youth unemployment in a two-wave panel survey of unemployed people aged 18-28. A first wave administered in 2014 among new clients of the labor market service was followed by a second wave in 2015 with a reinterview response rate of slightly above 50 per cent. The survey data are matched with registry data. The main focus is on the development of labor values and attitudes, health, wellbeing, and subjective job search experience, conditional on factors such as social status, educational pathways and attainment, and migration background.
