Abstract

In this introduction to the symposium, we review the key determinants of youth unemployment in order to better understand the theoretical and empirical framework of the four papers in the symposium. In addition, we briefly discuss some recent evidence on the youth unemployment rate and NEET indicator (percent of young people who are neither employed nor in education or training) in many countries before summarizing the key results and policy implications of the papers included in the symposium.
