N2  - "This book explores EU programmes and policies that set out to reduce unemployment amongst young adults. It is unique in assessing the impact of these programmes through the experiences of both young adults and professionals working with them. Based on a three year EU research project which examined projects across six countries, the empirical material on which the book is based reveals major policy trends and how these are influencing the discourses and practices of education, training and guidance (ETG) across Europe."--BOOK JACKET
