Comments on: Global youth unemployment, why? http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/11/17/global-youth-unemployment-why/ The Visible Hand in Economics Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:31:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt Nolan http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/11/17/global-youth-unemployment-why/#comment-35870 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:31:41 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=6536#comment-35870 In reply to Millinillion.

I think the focus on getting the right degrees is key – a lot of the “skills” are really just consumption by people getting training, rather than actual skills.

Its tough, but we need people to distinguish between education for the sake of enjoyment and betterment of your personal life, and education in order to build human capital in the workforce.  People don’t like to think of themselves as a labour input.

I’ve been unemployed for a bit but recently have found a job. I agree with supporting on training to prevent hysterisis or at least as a quid pro quo for unemployment benefits. However many youth today are highly skilled so I’d question the benefit of more training (or maybe focus needs to be on getting the right training/degrees earlier).

Yar, and it ignores that a sticky wage prices “new entrants” out of the market by holding up the wage rate in an industry – given that in many circumstances new entrants can’t come in at a lower wage, due to the risk it is observed and leads to complaints about unfairness.

However, I was focused on simply rising the investment point – as it was missing.

But that ain’t the binding constraint, at least not here.
