This essay analyzes the article Changing Labor Markets and Early Career Outcomes: Labor Market Entry in Europe over the Past Decade written by Markus Gangl. In most Western European countries, youth unemployment increased in the 1980s and remained high in the 1990s. Many young workers waited a long time to find a job and "stayed longer and longer with their parents” (Blancheflower, 2000: 4). Youth unemployment and school-to-work transition problems have become phenomena. According to these social processes, Gangl's research aims to develop a framework for understanding these transitions from school to work in different European countries and to use this framework to analyze the factors affecting success and failure in educational outcomes. education and training and integration into the labor market. The aim of this study is to explain differences between individuals with different levels of education and differences between country systems and to discover and describe how these differences affect young people's transitions from full-time education to labor market. Gangl identifies key trends such as the long-term trend of educational expansion, the changing occupational structure and the changing size of the youth cohort and how these trends are affected by the conditions of the economic context and could have a different impact among groups of leavers and thus affect the nature of education. social stratification (in terms of unemployment risk and occupational distribution) in the short or medium term. As is typically the case with quantitative research, the author's theoretical discussion, based on classical labor market theory, leads by deduction to the following hypothetical effects for each of the four trends: H1: Increase of one. ..... middle of paper ......ex of the profession of head of household in which the respondent lived until the age of 18 (Duncan, 1961 in Porter, 1976: 25). Nevertheless, the study is highly professional and it would be more coherent if the structural variables had also been linked to the socio-psychological variables. According to Blancheflower (2000:4), the proportion of young people in the workforce has declined significantly, therefore the reduction in the size of the youth cohort is expected to lead to falling youth unemployment rates and higher relative incomes for young people, but the economic situation of young people has deteriorated rather than improved. If change in the size of the youth cohort has no effect on youth unemployment, it is more useful for Gangl to take into account other measurable variables with more significant effects, such as technological changes or increased trade with less developed countries with large numbers of young, less skilled workers..
