Abstract
The aim of this article is, in the first place, to characterize the "model" of precarious employment to which young people under 30 are currently exposed. The “model” is assessed through official statistics, in particular, the Continuous Sample of Labor Lives 2015, and from a longitudinal perspective with a bootstrap sampling test. The analyses show that it is based on temporality, on the part-time day, on over-qualification and low wages. Moreover, the precariousness is more intense than in previous generations. Secondly, the article analyzes the implementation of the Youth Guarantee in Spain, in the period 2013-2016. The European initiative calls for offering an employment or training to people younger than 30 years in order to improve their employability and / or to facilitate their access to an employment contract. The analyzed evaluations confirm that it is not a guarantee of employment and that the objectives set by the European Recommendation have not been achieved.Downloads
