Abstract

Between 2000 and 2011, younger veterans were more likely to be unemployed than younger non-veterans. This difference falls rapidly with age and time. The evidence supports the hypothesis that veteran unemployment reflects engagement in job search. There is little evidence that veterans are disadvantaged in the labor market. Limiting benefits to veterans might reduce the length of unemployment spells, but the budgetary effect is unclear.

Abstract

rs, Professor Ernest Aryeetey, Professor Craig Jeffrey, and Professor Peter Rosa, alongwith all the other participants, provided useful feedback and encouraged us toproceed with presenting the key project findings in book form.A string of people provided support for the project and the book along theway. At the host institution – the Department of Geography, University ofCopenhagen – the untiring assistance of Dorthe Hallin with the accounts wasinvaluable, and in the closing stages Kent Pørksen kindly helped produce themaps at short notice. Wisdom Kalenga and Cecilia Gregersen both spent time atCBS providing assistance with the data analysis and conference support. MaheenPracha did an excellent job editing the entire manuscript while Jo Woodsassisted in the final checking and layout. Thanks are also due to Faye Leerink atRoutledge for seeing the potential of the book and for agreeing to allow it to besubsequently published in sub-Saharan Africa, which we hope will ensure it isalso widely read there.As all of the project participants spent lengthy periods of time in the field and/or visiting other academic institutions, many families have had to cope withthese absences. We thank them for their forbearance and for supporting therespective team members in their studies and travels. Hopefully they feel it wasworthwhile in the end.While producing this book has been a major effort, it marks the end of an erathat started back in November 2008 when we first started devising the project inresponse to a call from FFU for projects on youth employment. We areextremely grateful to all of the “YEMP family”, as the project team came to beknown, for their dedication to the project and for making it such a rewarding andfun experience, and look forward to future collaboration
