| Summary: | This chapter first investigates whether a ‘Nordic’ model exists with regard to youth labour market outsiderness, if compared to labour market outcomes in Britain and Germany. Second, the chapter examines how differences of youth labour market outsiderness in the Nordic countries, Germany and Britain are compounded by different types of outsiderness and gender differences. The authors analyse distributions of outsiders, their educational attainment, and time since having left school across countries defined by three welfare and education regimes. The analyses demonstrate that youth outsiderness in all countries affects women more than men. There seems to be no consistent Nordic regime when it comes to youth labour market outsiderness. Clear differences emerged when looking at the countries individually. By contrast, dualization characterizes Britain and Germany, which is consistent with previous research and theoretical expectations.
