“…Poor employment retention among low paid workers feeds 'low pay-no pay cycles' that bind individuals and their families to lives on low, insecure incomes -whether in work or claiming benefits (Shildrick et al 2010). Adopting S-TMD approach, which recognises the wider impact on society, can lead to the identification of the cost of labour turnover for the individual in terms of reduced household income and for society in terms of the health and welfare costs of unemployment.…”

Those working in organisations have choices to make not only associated with the goods and services they produce but also their wider social and economic impact. The number of employees in low skilled/low paid jobs and the high proportion of companies adopting business strategies based on low-specification goods and services are a concern for many developed and developing economies.Addressing this problem is not traditionally the concern of Human Resource Development however we argue that through exploring the role that a wider, more balanced approach to Sustainable Talent Management and Development (S-TMD) may play within the context of the low skilled in the UK provides a crucial link to enhancing an organisation's performance and responsibility to society. At the heart of this approach lies a shift to appreciate the collective endeavour of work practices, an enhanced role for stakeholders and identification of, and participation in skills eco-systems to support sustainable development. The paper identifies the opportunity for S-TMD to move from a predominantly individualist, managerial and unitarist understanding to one grounded in the value of tacit and embedded development processes undertaken to reflect a pluralist, multi-voiced approach to understanding of a skills eco-system.

“…However, work-welfare cycling among young people can have long-term impacts in terms of weaker employment prospects (Furlong et al, 2011;Gebel, 2010;Kellard et al, 2007;Worth, 2005), 'wage scars' (Ben-Galim et al, 2011) and recurrent poverty (Goulden, 2010;McCollum, 2012b). Shildrick et al (2010) found that churning labour market careers typical of young adults continued into their thirties and sometimes beyond.…”

The onset of the 'Great Recession' from 2008 was associated with a significant increase in long-term unemployment among young people. Work-welfare cycling has been put forward as a contributory factor. Drawing on a large-scale survey of long-term unemployed young people, this article argues that segmented labour market theory provides a strong explanatory framework for understanding the nature of long-term unemployment among young people, with the literature on work-welfare cycling contributing to an understanding of one of the processes by which precarious employment impacts on employability and labour supply. A second key finding is the heterogeneous nature of the young long-term unemployed, which in turn requires policy responses more customised to the needs of the different groups.

“…Interestingly, it was clear that manual work remained prominent in the work-based dispositions of many of the young men in our study. Despite this, they found themselves stuck in the 'churn' (MacDonald and Marsh, 2005;Shildrick et al, 2010) between part-time work and unemployment. For those young people who were unemployed at the time of interview (predominantly young men), the search for work dominated discussion-and had important implications in terms of their identities and activities.…”

In recent years, a paradox has emerged in the study of youth. On the one hand, in the context of the processes of globalization, neoliberalism and precarity, the patterning of leisure and work for young people is becoming increasingly convergent across time and space. On the other hand, it is clear that young people's habits and dispositions remain deeply tied to local places, with global processes filtered and refracted through specific cultural contexts. Against this backdrop, drawing on an Economic and Social Research Council/Research Grants Council (ESRC/RGC)-funded study of contemporary youth in Glasgow and Hong Kong, this article seeks to explore the role of the city as a mediating lens between global forces and local impacts. Utilizing both historical and contemporary data, the article argues that despite parallels in the impact of global forces on the structure of everyday life and work, young people's leisure habits remain rooted in the fates and fortunes of their respective cities.
