1. Academic commentators have sometimes expressed this sentiment. For example, 'prolonged unemployment is likely to pose less of a problem for the young woman. In the first place...work is not usually as important to them as it is for the young men'. (D. N. Ashton and D. Field, Young Workers, London: Hutchinson, 1976.)
