The abundant literature on welfare state policies, regimes or ‘worlds’ has been only limitedly interested in unemployment protection, and even less in youth unemployment protection. What is clearly lacking in the literature is an updated analysis of the most recent policies developed in E uropean countries targeting youth. This mini‐symposium aims to fill in this gap by presenting findings from an EU ‐funded research project entitled ‘ Y outh, U nemployment and E xclusion in E urope: A M ultidimensional A pproach to U nderstanding the C onditions and P rospects for S ocial and P olitical I ntegration of Y oung U nemployed’ (YOUNEX). The main aim of the research endeavour was to develop theory and contribute to empirical knowledge concerning the social and political exclusion of unemployed youth in E urope.
