“This book on young workers is a welcome addition both to the academic and practitioner literature on trade unions, particularly as anyone undertaking a search on this topic will find few resources with which to engage. … Throughout this edited collection of 12 chapters, we are provided with a wealth of data relating to union density and membership of ‘young’ workers in different countries.” (Jane Holgate, Work, employment and society, Vol. 31 (3), 2017)

“This edited collection aims to give insight into the challenges trade unions around the world face when they attempt to involve young people. … This is undoubtedly an important contribution to our understanding of the difficult contexts in which unions are trying to organize and represent young people. … Anyone reading the book as a whole will be left with a very clear view of the political and practical challenges ahead.” (Melanie Simms, British Journal of Industrial Relations, Vol. 54 (1), March, 2016)
