Abstract:
YAobustthras ct on labour market have particularities and specifics which distinguish them from all other vulnerable groups on labour market. However, at the same time, it could be mentioned that youths and the labour market for youths is a miniature reflection, but for few exceptions, of the situation faced by all vulnerable groups on labour market.
In order to understand the youths’ labour market, and in particular, the situation they face in the transition from school to work, the demographic, psychological-social, and economic characteristics of this group should be analysed. To these is added the fact that they enter into a volatile labour market, undergoing a process of structural change under the intensified impact of the transformations triggered by the intensive digitalisation and automation of all sectors of activity leading to the destruction and disappearance of jobs much swifter than the developments of the entire economy and of the productive and services’ sectors, etc. of creating and generating new jobs.The paper presents a synthesis of the characteristics and particularities of labour market among the young generation.
