Young workers are always affected badly by recession. But how badly they are affected also depends on labour market institutions and the nature of labour contracts that adult workers hold. In this lecture I will examine how young workers were affected by recession in European economies and relate the relative performance of a selection of countries to their institutional structure.

One of Italy’s foremost entrepreneurs describes how the labour market has changed in Italy in the past fifty years. In particular, how it has evolved in relation to young people, and to those about to enter the labour market as against those who are already employed. His account photographs the changing mechanisms of selection for the managerial classes, beginning with the management of big business.
