Pathways then and now: new student transitions to adulthood in a comparative context.

该项目将产生关于青年人发展和使用“创造性资本”的新知识，这对他们参与后工业社会的新劳动力市场至关重要。这项研究旨在直接促进义务教育后教育和培训方面的新政策框架，这些框架承认年轻人需要作出创造性的选择，发展积极的道路，并在支持性的家庭和社区环境中生活。通过这种方式，该项目将支持政府在传统支助结构较弱的情况下加强澳大利亚社会和经济结构的议程。

This project will generate new knowledge about young people's development and use of 'creative capital', which is crucial to their participation in the new labour markets in a post-industrial society. The research is designed to contribute directly to new policy frameworks in post-compulsory education and training that acknowledge the need for young people to make creative choices, develop positive pathways and to live within supportive family and community contexts. In this way, the project will support the Government's agenda of strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric in the fact of weaker traditional support structures.
