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，以检查年龄在11至16岁之间的澳大利亚年轻人的情况。将根据和反映青年人的态度、观点和经验制定新的指标。然后，这些指标将被应用于衡量劣势程度，使用从新南威尔士州学校学生的大型调查和服务用户的小型调查中收集的数据。将制定和使用简要指标来审查不利条件的性质和严重程度如何随年龄、学校和地点等因素而变化。该研究旨在为所有学校的国家应用提供一个模板，并将与主要利益攸关方探讨研究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.
