Reviews

I found that the book offers a timely discussion regarding a much politicized debate around the responsibility of societies to invest more in education and on their young people. The book is a gold mine of data which can spark lively discussions among educationalists, sociologists and economists. Iasonas Lamprianou, Work Employment and Society
