Book excerpt: Following the collapse of the US investment bank Lehmann Brothers in September 2008, the world economy began a downward spiral, with many countries falling into recession. Australia experienced significant stock market losses and unemployment rates began to climb. This briefing paper considers how young people fared in previous downturns and discusses how structural labour market changes over the past 20 years have affected young people this time around. It also looks at the qualitative evidence from respondents in the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), exploring common themes in how they perceived the economic downturn had affected their work and study intentions in 2009. The author finds that, although Australia experienced a relatively mild downturn, young people bore almost the entire weight of the full-time job decline (including apprenticeships), and a disproportionate share of the increase in unemployment. Those unable to find a job or who have been made redundant are at risk of remaining unemployed for a significant time, with potential longer-term scarring effects. Recent structural changes to the labour market, such as rising educational participation, appear to provide some protection for young people. However, full-time work for 15 to 19-year-olds has become even more concentrated in industries more sensitive to economic changes such as building and construction, and retail. Calculation of Impact of Change in Employment is appended. (Contains 8 tables, 16 figures and 2 footnotes.).

Book excerpt: By definition, youth transitions involve young people moving between school, post-school study and employment. It is a time of flux, as young people try out different school, post-school work and study options. But are those who don't find work immediately likely to make a poor transition? Given that many may well have a spell out of the labour force, everyone needs to understand when this becomes a risk factor. This briefing paper draws on related research and some primary data analysis to consider whether being "at risk" is a permanent or transitory state. It suggests that, rather than counting the numbers of young people who are detached from work, study or other meaningful activities, everyone should focus on those who remain disconnected. It is important to be able to identify who may be most "at risk" of an unsuccessful transition to ensure that targeted and appropriate interventions can be implemented. Young people who accumulate disadvantage through poor literacy and numeracy and who are uninterested in school appear particularly vulnerable. They tend to leave school early and suffer disproportionally in the labour market. If this detachment from work or study continues for an extended period of time, the young person's inability to develop employability skills and their lack of work experience adversely affect their prospects of future employment. This is detrimental not only to the individual but also to the nation's productivity. Therefore, programs which help young people to make smoother and faster transitions into further study or employment are important. (Contains 6 tables, 3 figures and 4 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To provide insights into how young people may fare in the current economic downturn, this study examines the experience of youth in a previous downturn. While it is recognised that each downturn is unique in its own way, and that the pattern of the global financial crisis is different to earlier downturns, these previous experiences are still informative for the current policies. In particular, this study examines the impacts of economic conditions on youth unemployment and education outcomes, using eight waves of the Australian Youth Survey 1989-1996. " - NCVER website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commonwealth Department of Education commissioned the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) to assess the value and implications of eight enhancements to the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY). The objective of LSAY is to track young Australians as they move from school into further study, work and other destinations to provide a meaningful dataset through which to understand youth transitions. Enhancements to LSAY are considered in this paper in the context of continuing to enable researchers to track young people over time and examine relationships between the variables that impact youth transitions.

Download or read book Youth and the New Adulthood written by Johanna Wyn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the life trajectories of Generation X and Y Australians through the 1990s and 2000s. The book defies popular characterizations of members of the ‘precarious generations’ as greedy, narcissistic and self-obsessed, revealing instead that many of the members of these generations struggle to reach the standard of living enjoyed by their parents, value learning highly and are increasingly concerned about the environment and the legacy current generations are leaving for their children and remain optimistic in the face of considerable challenges. Drawing on data from the Life Patterns longitudinal study of Australian youth (an internationally recognized study), the book tells the story of members of these ‘precarious generations’. It examines significant dimensions of young people’s lives across time, comparing how domains such as health and well-being, education, work and relationships intersect to produce the complex outcomes that characterize the lives of members of each of these generations. It also explores the strategies these generations use to make their lives and the ways in which they remain resilient. While the book is based on Australian data, the analysis draws on and contributes to the international literature on young people and social change.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the transition to full-time employment of young people who do not go to university. The majority of Australiaâs school leavers do not enrol in university, and it is important to better understand the pathways that they follow. The report uses a substantial longitudinal dataset to map the dynamics of the youth labour market, and identify the factors that are important in securing full- time work. The group analysed were part of a national sample of 13,613 young people who were first surveyed in Year 9 in 1995. The report follows them through to 2002 when their average age was 21 and they had been out of school for between four and six years. The study reports on their main education and labour market activities in each year since leaving school. It then analyses the influences of social and demographic factors, school and other educational factors, and initial experiences in the labour market on their post-school activity four years after leaving school. The particular focus is on the factors that influence being in full-time employment four years after leaving school. Separate analyses were performed for males and females as their post-school experiences differ in a number of ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. Worldwide, boys are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science. It's a crisis of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of fathering. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. It's a crisis of purpose. Boys' old sense of purpose—being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner—are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void," feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.
