The vast literature analysing the status of young people and women in the labour market highlights the disadvantages they face and the contribution they make to the productive process and economic growth. The studies confirm that both of these population groups find it especially hard to enter the labour market; and, when they succeed in doing so, they face disadvantageous employment conditions. In particular, these groups are more vulnerable to unemployment, precarious jobs, unpaid work, horizontal and vertical segmentation and wage discrimination.
