The transition from school to work is recognized by developmental
psychologists as a significant phase in maturation of young people.
In the 1990s the likelihood that the transition might be delayed by
a period of prolonged unemployment was greater than any time since
the 1930s. The psychological consequences of such a delay need to
be understood because they may be damaging to both the individual
and to society, particularly if they are long-lasting. Such an
understanding is essential for the development of sound policy in
relation to youth unemployment. Originally published in 1993,
Growing up with Unemployment describes a major longitudinal study
of a large group of South Australian school leavers through the
1980s. It assesses the scale and context of the problem and reviews
the methods and theories that have been developed to study the
psychological impact of unemployment. It also looks at those
factors which may contribute towards helping young people cope with
it, such as financial security, social support and being involved
in constructive activities with other people. The authors also
examine how we might be able to predict future unemployment and
understand the relationship between it and alcohol consumption,
smoking and drug use. This book describes a major study with
important implications for employment policy, as well as future
theory and research. This title will be interesting historical
reading for students of psychology and social policy, policy makers
and all those who deal with young people.
