Sustainable development is a major goal for all societies. The inter- and intra-generational aspects of sustainable development (social, economic and environmental sustainability) are often supposed to develop in a harmonious way. However, in reality the economy is open to different shocks and crises. As is evident in countries like Spain and Greece, certain groups are more vulnerable to such crises. In this context, youth (un-)employment is an important issue. While providing future generations with a clean and liveable environment is an obligation for the current generation, also a suitable social and economic framework should be created for living a decent life. Without creating the conditions for a decent life, engagement in sustainable development is likely to be limited (Narksompong, Limjirakan 2015). Lack of youth employment negatively influences sustainable economic and social development (Ofei-Manu, Shimano 2012), green behavior (Novo-Corti et al. 2015) and people’s wellbeing (Novo-Corti et al. 2015, Novo-Corti et al. 2017). This makes employment policies a crucial matter (Pociovalisteanu et al. 2015).
We invite papers on the following issues (but not limited to):
- Public policies for youth employment.
- Trade-offs and synergy effects between youth employment (social sustainability) and actions for environmental sustainability.
- Youth employment and sustainable development.
- Youth employment and emigration.
- Opportunities for youth labour market development.
- Entrepreneurship and youth employment.
- Economic crises and youth employment.
