“Pastore’s publication in the Springer
Briefs in Economics series is a condensed essay, rich in material presented
from different perspectives. It combines empirical findings and theoretical
discussions and delivers a pleasing reflection on the conceptual change in
addressing youth unemployment and theoretical priorities in the related fields
of research. In doing so, it is a help for advanced students and scholars when
studying youth unemployment and the experience gap from a comparative European
perspective.” (Hans Dietrich, European Review of Labour and Research, Vol. 21
(3), August, 2015)
“The book ... is useful for its non-ideological approach to the issue of youth unemployment ... .” (Translated from Italian, Achille Flora, Rivista economica del Mezzogiorno, Vol. XXVIII (3), September, 2014)
“The book … points the youth experience gap as a key concept that provides the basis for to explain the meager youth employment opportunities and earnings, but also national differences in youth labor market outcomes. … The present book addresses to the segment of readers who includes students who are specialized in labor economics, political economy and business, graduates skilled in the art, and stakeholders and other specialists on the labor market.” (Professor Daniela Paşnicu, Annals of Spiro Haret University, anale-economie.spiruharet.ro, Vol. 15 (4), 2014)
