Wie kann die Arbeitsmarktpolitik Jugendliche beim Berufseinstieg unterstützen? Alban Knecht analysiert politische Diskurse und institutionelle Veränderungen der Beschäftigungsförderung benachteiligter Jugendlicher in Österreich vor dem Hintergrund der Ressourcentheorie. Er diskutiert die Einführung von Maßnahmen wie überbetrieblicher Lehre, Ausbildungsgarantie und Ausbildungspflicht und verdeutlicht dabei die Bedeutung sozialinvestiver, befähigungsorientierter, neoliberaler und rechtspopulistischer Leitbilder für die praktische Arbeit der Fachkräfte und die Jugendlichen.

“The book provides an insight into Austrian youth employment policy. Austria is often seen as a role model in this area at the European level. This is certainly a correct diagnosis, but it is also worth taking a closer look here, which puts some overly positive reports into perspective. Alban Knecht’s book offers such a closer look.“ Johann Bacher, Social Work Education, May 2024
