Lost Generation – Youth as Social Risk?

Abstract

Transition from education to the labour market of young people and its effectiveness is related to many factors. Currently, the threat of unemployment and inactivity among young people becomes not only an individual but also a social problem. The magnitude of the phenomenon makes it a social risk, as it hinders the implementation of development tasks characteristic for the stage of early youth. The aim of the article is to present the problem of difficulties in getting a job in a group of people finishing both upper-secondary and academic education.
