Summary
How can employment policies support young people entering the labour market? Alban Knecht analyses the changes in political discourses and social-political measures with regards to employment promotion for disadvantaged young people in Austria. Against the background of his resource theory, he discusses measures such as inter-company apprenticeships, youth guarantee, and compulsory training and illustrates the impact that the social investment paradigm as well as capability-orientated, neoliberal, and right-wing populist approaches may have on the practical work of professionals and on the young people concerned.

Critics Review
“The book provides an insight into Austrian youth employment policy. Austria is often seen as a role model in this area at the European level. This is certainly a correct diagnosis, but it is also worth taking a closer look here, which puts some overly positive reports into perspective. Alban Knecht’s book offers such a closer look.“
