Description
This book investigates how policy, family background, social class, gender and ethnicity influence young people’s post-16 and post-18 employment and education access.
“The strength of the book lies, to a great extent, in documenting the ways students describe their choices and aspirations in a changing policy context characterised by the cuts to ‘education maintenance allowance’ and the increase in tuition fees. … Hoskins’ book puts a spotlight on recent education policies. The discussion of recent developments in Greece and Spain is useful towards the aim of pointing out the neoliberal trends in the broader European context.” (Sait Bayrakdar, Sociology, Vol. 53 (4), 2019)
“This is a must-read book for practitioners, academics, policy-makers and all who are enthralled by the relationship between identity, education and employment. … This text makes a dauntingly exciting contribution to wider debates about employment, education and the choices young people make in relation to both. As is the case with this particular reviewer, Hoskins’ sociological imagination will ignite those of her readers onthe economic, social and policy context currently determining the youth employment landscape.” (Gerry Czerniawski, British Journal of Educational Studies, October, 2018)
