‘Dr. Peter Vogel’s work on tackling youth unemployment around the world is inspiring and gives hope to those who feel like there is nothing left to hope for. This book is an excellent read for anyone who wishes to join the cause to create a better future for the generations to come. His mission is mine, to lay out a blueprint for those with aspirations and great ideas, so that they can become job creators, wealth creators, and in certain cases, go from unemployed to self-employed.’ —John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Operation HOPE ‘Generation Jobless? is a wonderful read and primer for anyone who cares to make a difference. Truly the best work I have read on the youth labor market crisis – and a personal invitation to each and every one of us to take part in solving the crisis for our children.’ —Carsten Sudhoff, Founder and CEO, Circular Society AG ‘How might we best prepare students for the world of work in the 21st century? This thorough and timely book about the youth unemployment crisis describes interesting possibilities from around the world.’ —Charles Fadel, Visiting Practitioner, Harvard University; co-author of 21st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times ‘The world of work is transforming at a furious, unprecedented pace, and young people are the ones that are hit hardest. This is a truly powerful book that gives us hope that it is not too late to avoid a generation jobless.’ —Mike Johnson, Chairman and Founder, the Futurework Forum; author of The Worldwide Workplace: Solving the Global Talent Equation ‘Unemployment is casting a shadow over the lives of millions of young people around the world. Yet it goes unchecked because the solutions are often complex, opaque, and require aligned action by multiple stakeholders. In this important and fascinating book, Peter Vogel takes a positive and uplifting view of what it takes for a crisis to become an opportunity. Drawing on examples from across the world, he shows how education, government, and employees can each play their part. Most of the world’s most complex challenges require multi-stakeholder solutions – and this book shows the power of alignment.’ —Lynda Gratton, Professor, London Business School; author of the book The Shift ‘This is the best assessment and discussion of the current youth unemployment crisis that I have read. It is tremendously rich in content and insightful.
