Material Deprivation and Social Exclusion among Young Australians: A Child-Focused Approach

该项目旨在扩展最近对成年人社会劣势的研究，以考察年龄在11岁至16岁之间的澳大利亚年轻人的情况。将制定新的指标，以青年的态度、观点和经历为基础并反映青年的态度、观点和经历。然后，将使用从新南威尔士州学校学生的大型调查和对服务用户的较小调查收集的数据，应用这些指标来衡量不利程度。将制定和使用汇总指标，以审查不利因素的性质和严重程度如何随年龄、学校和地点等因素而变化。这项研究的目的是为所有学校的国家应用制作一个模板，并将与主要利益攸关方一起探讨调查结果的初步政策影响。

This project aims to extend recent research on adult social disadvantage to examine the circumstances of young Australians, aged between 11 and 16 years. New indicators will be developed that build on and reflect the attitudes, views and experiences of young people. The indicators will then be applied to measure the degree of disadvantage using data collected from a large survey of New South Wales school students and a smaller survey of service users. Summary indicators will be developed and used to examine how the nature and severity of disadvantage varies with factors such as age, school and location. The study aims to produce a template for national application in all schools and the initial policy implications of the findings will be explored with key stakeholders.
