The Precarious Generation by Judith Bessant
This book draws on the voices of disadvantaged young people born since the early 1980s to document their experiences of increased unemployment and inequality. The authors highlight how this generational disadvantage is the direct result of public policies adopted in the USA, United Kingdom, France, Spain and Australia.-

This fascinating volume on the political economy of young people is a great resource for students and researchers in the social sciencesIt draws on a wealth of evidence including young people’s own stories, to document their opportunities, challenges and problems in increasingly unequal societies including America, Britain, Australia, France and Spain.
The book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the conditions faced by young people today but also for making sense of what could be done to solve these problems and redevelop a new politics that can offer real opportunities and raise living standards for future generations. In this sense, the book is a celebration of the importance and centrality of politics for shaping our destinies as societies.
