“…This group of 'young outsiders' or 'economically inactive' persons, as they have also come to be known, has attracted considerable attention in recent years as a result inter alia of a government inquiry entitled Young Outsiders (Utbildningsdepartementet, 2003). 11 In this section, we present a number of in-depth analyses of this group's situation (Franzén & Kassman, 2005), focusing on young people aged 20-24.…”

“…In OECD league tables of NEET rates (OECD, 2014a), the USA is ranked 10 th highest and the UK 13 th highest out of 37 comparison countries, with both the USA and UK having rates above the OECD average. At high risk of requiring long-term state support (NEET status being a strong predictor of chronic unemployment (International Labour Organisation, 2014;Franz•n & Kassman, 2005); in Scotland alone (the study zone), the cost of a single cohort of young people failing to transition into regular employment is estimated to be £2 billion (SPICe, 2012).…”

Purpose: To better understand adolescent information behaviours in disadvantaged and disengaged circumstances, and explore issues of social integration.Design/methodology: Interdisciplinary theoretical framework bringing together theories of information behaviour with theories of social capital. Mixed method design incorporating observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus group conducted in areas of multiple deprivations. ParticipantsÕ young people aged 16-19 not in education, employment or training (NEET); and their support workers.Findings: Heightened access and internalised behavioural barriers found beyond those common to the general adolescent population, the former influenced by technology and literacy issues, the latter by social structures and norms. There is evidence suggestive of deception, risk-taking, secrecy, and situational relevance in information behaviors, and a reliance on bonding social capital characteristically exclusive and inward facing. Low levels of literacy and self-efficacy are significant interrelated issues, with NEET youth dependent upon support workers when seeking and processing information, and demonstrating passive non-motivated information behaviours often abandoned.Research limitations/implications: no claims to statistical significance or generalizability made. Further action oriented research recommended balancing the needs for further understanding with the needs for immediate intervention (and placing emphasis on influencing information behaviors). Practical implications:Remedial literacy education recommended as an immediate priority for public and third sector agencies. Originality/value: Evidences and draws attention to understudied and enduring information poverty issues of significant societal concern potentially consigning a significant proportion of the youth population to a stratified and disengaged existence within an impoverished (small) information world.

“…During the 1980s and 1990s, when youth unemployment was particularly high in many western societies (Fevre 2011), commentators also predicted scarring effects for youth. Some European studies have documented increased unemployment and lower earnings in adulthood (Cockx and Pichhio 2012;Franzen and Kassman 2005;Gregg and Tominey 2005;Luijkx and Wolbers 2009), as did a recent study focusing on Brazil and Argentina (Cruces et al 2012). American studies, however, have not consistently revealed scarring effects (Burgess et al 2003;Gardecki and Neumark 1998;Ryan 2001).…”

“…To the extent that unemployment does have negative mental health consequences for youth, social psychological changes might help ex-plain the career scarring observed in some studies (Franzen and Kassman 2005;Gregg and Tominey 2005;Luijkx and Wolbers 2009). Lower self-esteem and reduced perceived control due to unemployment could translate into less effective job search (Wanberg et al 2005).…”

Unemployment has career scarring effects for adults, and sometimes for youth, but previous research has not directly demonstrated how this occurs. This 14-year (1985-99) longitudinal study reveals that cumulative unemployment between age 18 and age 32 has a negative effect on both total income and quality of employment at age 32. This scarring effect is not mediated by parallel changes in self-esteem, perceived control or extrinsic work values. Labour market mechanisms, rather than social psychological processes, are likely responsible for the career scarring effect of youth unemployment.Résumé. On constate que le chômage des adultes laisse des séquelles sur la carrière. C'est parfois le cas pour les jeunes aussi. Mais la recherche en date ne montre pas quel mécanisme est impliqué. La présente étude longitudinale sur 14 ans (1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999) révèle qu'un chômage cumulé entre l'âge de 18 ans et de 32 ans a un effet négatif sur le revenu total, ainsi que sur la qualité de l'emploi à l'âge de 32 ans. Ces séquelles ne passent pas par une fluctuation parallèle de l'estime de soi, du sentiment d'avoir le contrôle ou des valeurs intrinsèques relatives au travail. Les séquelles sur la carrière laissées par le chômage des jeunes tiennent probablement aux mécanismes du marché du travail, plutôt qu'à des processus psychologiques sociaux.
