Secondary school graduates of the late 1980s and early 1990s have
found themselves coping with economic insecurity, social change,
and workplace restructuring. Drawing on studies that have recorded
the lives of young people in two countries for over fifteen years,
The Making of a Generation offers unique insight into the hopes,
dreams, and trajectories of a generation. Although children born in
the 1970s were more educated than ever before, as adults they
entered new labour markets that were de-regulated and precarious.
Lesley Andres and Johanna Wyn discuss the consequences of education
and labour policies in Canada and Australia, emphasizing their
long-term impacts on health, well-being, and family formation. They
conclude that these young adults bore the brunt of policies
designed to bring about rapid changes in the nature of work.
Despite their modest hopes and aspirations for security, those born
in the 1970s became a vanguard generation as they negotiated the
significant social and economic transformations of the 1990s.
