Having significant numbers of young people, especially those from contexts of socio-economic disadvantage, not experiencing a satisfying and worthwhile education, is a personal, social and economic loss the nation can ill-afford. This research will provide insights into the impediments confronting these young people, the circumstances in which they re-engage with formal learning, and the benefits of having done so. This will enable new policy and practice responses in the direction of reducing economic costs while seeking to ameliorate personal, health and social consequences. Reducing educational inequalities is one of the most salient ways of strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric.

大量的年轻人，特别是那些来自社会经济不利背景的年轻人，没有经历令人满意和有价值的教育，这是一个国家无法承受的个人、社会和经济损失。这项研究将深入了解这些年轻人面临的障碍，他们重新参与正规学习的环境，以及这样做的好处。这将使新的政策和做法能够朝着减少经济成本的方向作出反应，同时设法改善个人、健康和社会后果。减少教育不平等是加强澳大利亚社会和经济结构的最显著方式之一。
