The Formation of Young Workers: A Multi Sited Study on the Periphery

该项目旨在调查在高失业率地区，劳动力技能和能力如何成为年轻人世界观的一部分。由于工业结构调整，澳大利亚大都市中心以外的年轻人正经历着急剧上升的失业率。该项目以区域和城市外青年为重点，旨在探索年轻人如何应对这些条件，检查就业在青年身份中的作用，并分析年轻人如何积极地将劳动技能和能力融入他们的身份和整体生活方式。该项目旨在为福利干预和社会政策的设计提供证据基础，帮助被边缘化的年轻人建立令人满意的就业未来。

This project aims to investigate how workforce skills and capacities become a part of a young people’s world view in zones of high unemployment. Youth outside Australia’s metropolitan centres are experiencing dramatically increased unemployment rates caused by industrial restructuring. Focusing on regional and outer-urban youth, this project seeks to explore how young people are responding to these conditions, examining the role of employment in youth identities and analysing how young people actively integrate the skills and capacities for labour into their identities and overall approach to life. The project intends to provide an evidence base for the design of welfare interventions and social policies that help marginalised young people to build fulfilling employment futures.
