Focuses on the meaning and effects of social inequality from a structural perspective, i.e. how life chances are based on wealth and income in populations distributed demographically according to such features as education, age, ethnicity, locality and nationality. Social class based patterns and dimensions of stratification that define young people’s life chances in the US and Europe characterise neo-liberal digital societies in which inequality is rising, threatening social cohesion. The book shows how Germany and England are marked by such ‘path-dependent’ inequalities that structure privileged and precarious youth transitions. In addition, inequality is impacted by such factors as globalisation, and migration showing how national economic and social policies respond. Social mechanisms structuring unequal youth transitions are also outlined.

Supplies a broad overview of the themes pursued through the different chapters. The overriding theme is structural and cultural change affecting contexts and pathways to adulthood in two European societies that differ in their institutional fabric - England and Germany. Change in family relationships and identity construction, transformations in education, labour markets, politics and media are highlighted. The life course perspective that informs the theoretical framework of the book is introduced. The impact on and over shadowing of all youth and family activity through the COVID-19 virus is also addressed as precursor to the main discussion in Chapter 8
