How do Canadian students perceive and prepare for the world of
work? To what extent do gender, race, region and social class shape
their aspirations, opportunities, and experiences? Transitions:
Schooling and Employment in Canada presents new research by
scholars from across Canada engaged in the study of youth,
schooling, employment and social change. The aim of the book is to
describe the multiple transitions that young adults encounter in
their journey from school to the world of paid employment.
Different contexts and conditions affect these transitions and the
authors employ historical, qualitative and quantitative
methodologies in identifying them. Particular attention is paid to
the themes of gender, socio-economic status, ethnocultural origin,
and region. In analyzing their findings, the authors apply a wide
range of theories, including developmental, sociological, and
social/psychological. In addition, a number of the essays have
implications for policy-making in the areas of education and
employment. The contributors to this volume explore the experiences
of rural youth in Nova Scotia, blacks in Toronto, and high school
students in Vancouver. They suggest new approaches to researching
native communities and the lives of female adolescents.
