El desempleo se ha convertido en el problema central de los países industrializados. El siglo se va a cerrar con mil millones de desempleados en el Sur, un volumen de población sólo ligeramente inferior al total de habitantes que pueblan todos los países del Norte. El desempleo es un factor muy importante en la fabricación capitalista de pobreza, y el crecimiento del paro está siendo introyectado por la sociedad como una especie de fatalidad histórica que nadie puede controlar y vencer. De esta forma, va desapareciendo de la escena social el debate sobre los responsables del desempleo y los mecanismos económicos que lo hacen posible. En esta cuestión entran las Iglesias británicas con una perspectiva muy alejada del neoliberalismo imperante. El desempleo y el futuro del trabajo constituye una excelente muestra de la presencia pública de la Iglesia en el mundo de la economía. Un tipo de Iglesia que no practica el reduccionismo en su discurso público y es capaz de ir más allá de los temas relacionados con la vida sexual, familiar y escolar. Una Iglesia que no quiere encerrar la fe cristiana y sus imperativos en el estrecho mundo de la vida privada: una Iglesia que es capaz de generar debate social e impuslsar iniciativas ciudadanas para afrontar este inmenso problema del paro. La presente obra se halla en las antípodas de las políticas propugnadas por el Partido Conservador y es muy crítica con los efectos de los programas socio-económicos realizados por el thatcherismo. La versión española de este texto inglés -que ha tenido una excelente acogida en los grandes medios de comunicación social de Gran Bretaña y que ha generado un gran debate entre obispos, periodistas, políticos y sindicalistas- ha quedado muy enriquecido con una cuarta parte dedicada a exponer diversas reflexiones sobre el desempleo desde la realidad española.

Youth studies in Latin America and Spain face numerous challenges. This book delves into youth experiences in the 21st century, shaped by complex and pressing issues: the surge of youth cultures and groups, visual images of youth throughout time, and fragmented youth experiences in radically unequal societies. It analyzes young people as precarious natives in global capitalism and labor uncertainty, juvenicide, feminist discourse, social networks, intimacy and sexual affection among young people in a context of growing claims of gender equality. Also included are rural and indigenous youth as political actors, the actions of young political activists within government administrations, the experience of youth migration and empowerment, and young people dealing with the digital world. How have youth studies approached these issues in Latin America and Spain? Which were the main developments and transformations in this research field over the past years? Where is it heading?

High rates of divorce, single-parenthood, and nonmarital cohabitation are forcing Americans to reexamine their definition of family. This evolving social reality requires public policy to evolve as well. The Future of the Family brings together the top scholars of family policy—headlined by editors Lee Rainwater, Tim Smeeding, and, in his last published work, the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan—to take stock of the state of the family in the United States today and address the ways in which public policy affects the family and vice versa. The volume opens with an assessment of new forms of family, discussing how reduced family income and lower parental involvement can disadvantage children who grow up outside of two-parent households. The book then presents three vastly dissimilar recommendations—each representing a different segment of the political spectrum—for how family policy should adapt to these changes. Child psychologist Wade Horn argues the case of political conservatives that healthy two-parent families are the best way to raise children and therefore should be actively promoted by government initiatives. Conversely, economist Nancy Folbre argues that government's role lies not in prescribing family arrangements but rather in recognizing and fostering the importance of caregivers within all families, conventional or otherwise. Will Marshall and Isabel Sawhill borrow policy prescriptions from the left and the right, arguing for more initiatives that demand personal responsibility from parents, as well as for an increase in workplace flexibility and the establishment of universal preschool programs. The book follows with commentary by leading policy analysts Samuel Preston, Frank Furstenberg Jr., and Irwin Garfinkel on the merits of the conservative and liberal arguments. Each suggests that marriage promotion alone is not enough to ensure a happy, healthy, and prosperous future for American children who are caught up in the vortex of family change. They agree that government investments in children, however, can promote superior developmental outcomes and even potentially encourage traditional families by enlarging the pool of "marriageable" individuals for the next generation. No government action can reverse trends in family formation or return America to the historic nuclear family model. But understanding social change is an essential step in fashioning effective policy for today's families. With authoritative insight, The Future of the Family broadens and updates our knowledge of how public policy and demography shape one another.

Youth unemployment has become one of the most crucial social problems in many EU countries. In the 90s it can be observed that in most Western countries, the rate of youth unemployment have risen dramatically, in some of these countries the unemployment problem can be considered primarily a problem of refused entry to the labour market for members of the younger generation. This development increases the risk of psychosocial impairment to the individuals affected as well as to the social fabric in general. The present volume draws attention to the health effects of long-term youth unemployment in six European countries. It is based upon the results of an international research project (Youth Unemployment and Social Exclusion: Dimensions, Subjective Experiences, and Innovative Institutional Responses in Six Countries of the EU) (YUSEDER) conducted in the framework of the research programme Targeted Socio-Economic Research (TSER) of the European Commission. Partners with different scientific backgrounds (health psychology, public health research, psychiatry, industrial sociology, medical sociology) from six European countries participated in this project. The contributions in this volume illustrate an initial approach to analysing and comparing empirical evidence on youth unemployment and health from a comparative perspective for three Northern European countries (Sweden, Germany, Belgium) and for three Southern European countries (Spain, Italy, Greece). For each country a specific national report is presented. The comparative section describes and attempts to explain the similarities and dissimilarities between countries having rather diverse historical and social understandings of being in and out of work for young people.
