Transition from school to work: A longitudinal investigation of unemployment, underemployment, alienation, social exclusion and mental health in young people

该项目将为早期识别最有可能在上学后期、向劳动力或高等教育过渡期间经历较差结果的年轻人提供详细的见解。研究结果对与澳大利亚青年健康发展有关的州和国家政策具有影响；提高学业完成率和留校率，实施以学校为本的策略，促进青年人向工作岗位过渡。这项研究将进一步获得学生在男女同校与单性别环境、私立学校与公立学校、地区与城市地区的经历的比较见解。

This project will provide detailed insights into the early identification of young people most likely to experience poorer outcomes in the later years of school and in the transition to the workforce or higher education. The findings have implications for State and National policies relating to the healthy development of young Australians; the enhancement of school completion and retention rates, and school-based strategies to facilitate young people's transition to the workforce. The study will further gain comparative insights into the experiences of students in coeducational vs. single-sex environments, private vs. public schools, and in regional as opposed to metropolitan areas.
