Proposed Edits[edit]

Hello! I am a Graduate student at the Harvard Kennedy School and I would like to make a significant contribution to this page. It is a subject that matters a lot ot me and that I have had the chance to study both at School and professionnaly. I would like to add background information, data and analysis from a variety of reliable sources (OECD, EU, IMF, WB, McKinsey&Company). I'd appreciate any feedback or advice you could give me as I begin to edit this article.

Feedback[edit]

Hello! I'm really glad that there is a youth unemployment page as it is a major problem globally. I think that in terms of adding more information that a really good source to look at is Youth Studies An Introduction by Andy Furlong. Chapter 4 focuses on employment and unemployment and the different aspects of how both effect youth. I think this article would benefit a lot from some of that information. I also noticed that there is a youth unemployment in the united kingdom article. Perhaps the pages could be linked together in some way? Just a thought. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Proposed Edits[edit]

Hello all. I'm working on editing this article through one of my courses at school. I've posted an overview of the additions I want to make, mainly adding background information and ensuring that there is a global perspective to this article, and some possible resources to my userpage. I'd appreciate any feedback or advice you could give me as I begin to edit this article. Thanks! Plumbla (talk) 17:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Plumbla. Your sandbox is looking good. I was pleased to see a substantial expansion of content and thorough referencing. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 12:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Im hoping to make a specific edit to one section of the wikipedia page for a project at school. I want to improve the section "Assistance to youth in the transition to the world of work" I believe this section can be improved with more credible sources and just overall more information to help get the information across. I plan on using articles form Stanford journals and other major credible news sources to help talk about what the problem of young people trying to transfer to the workforce is. I want to discuss John Strumboltz and one idea that he believes is very important which is occupationism. this is the idea that society judges certain careers harshly, preventing some people for going after a job they may want but feel embarrassed about. I believe this fits into this section perfectly and ties into the idea of youth unemployment perfectly, this along with a few other ideas and concepts can improve this section of the wikipedia page drastically I believe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Landonrogers (talk • contribs) 01:39, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction and Sandbox Edits[edit]

In editing this article I intend to expand shorter sections of the article. I also will be incorporating more sources and information, especially in relation to the case studies, as well as an overall understanding of youth unemployment. I have linked my sandbox here, User:Kapplet/sandbox where I will be making edits to the article before adding my edits to the existing page.

Edits[edit]

I have posted the edits I made to this article. Some major changes I made involved making the causes sections sound more eloquent and informed rather than sounding too broad in terms of information. I also made an addition of information on Africa to the Case Studies section. I also did some consolidating in the consequences section in order to make more connections between the different types of consequences. I rearranged the Case Studies section, putting the countries into alphabetical order to give the section more of a global fairness. I also made an addition of a Defining youth and youth unemployment section so that there was a place to go more in depth about the different definitions and understanding of youth and youth unemployment.

Added a copy edit tag[edit]

Hello everyone, this page is very long, which is nice, but it is also in very difficult to understand, at least in part because of bad grammar and typos. The first sentence in the section titled "Labour markets and regulations" is at the moment of writing "First, a high level of new employee should turn out to be unmotivated or incompetent.", which is not only obviously poorly written, but so severely so that I don't even know what it says.

The identification of nebulous "regulations" as a main cause also sets of my editorialization alarm bells, but I really do not know enough on the subject to argue one way or the other. I am not going to edit the article myself because 1) I have strong political convictions and would almost certainly give it a biased spin and 2) I don't know very much about the actual facts of the subject.

Also I literally don't even know what some of this article is supposed to mean, as previously mentioned. I dare not correct it to something it wasn't intended to say. Får ej ge blod (talk) 23:41, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
