children, in their pathways to adulthood is aimed at examining the
points of intersect between individual and family level reactions
to the socioeconomic forces buffeting all industrialised societies.
The papers in this volume allow understanding of the larger context
which children acquire their experience and capacities for growth.
The volumes in this series illustrate how social organization and
private, emotional experience are different phases of the social
process. They show the steps by which emotional experience is
shaped by social structural, macro-level processes and how these
processes are changed by experience.

This text provides discussion of the female life cycle based on
in-depth interviews with 150 diverse women at various stages in
their lives, including women from visible minorities, lesbians,
women with disabilities, and women living in poverty. In this text,
particular attention will be paid to issues of: baby boomers; the
women's movement; work and economic security; caregiving; health
and well-being; family and intimacy; and structure, culture, and
agency. All the chapters underline the need for a new perspective
that incorporates the historical and generational shifts in women's
lives and their experience of aging.
Using a sample of 324 young adults in four urban centres who left
high school in the mid-1980s as well as interviews with
representative parents, former teachers, and employers, the authors
identify factors that ease transition from school to. These include
level of education, social class, gender, ethnicity, aspirations of
parents, help from role models, participation in co-op education,
and most important of all, self-motivation. The authors describe a
range of youth profiles -- uncommitted, non-careerists,
conservatives, and innovators -- that will help youth, parents, and
educators identify present development and how to improve
performance. Emphasizing the importance of co-operative education,
the authors suggest that closer relations between school and work,
such as exist in the United Kingdom and Sweden, facilitate
transition into the labour market. On Their Own will guide parents,
youth, educators, trustees, employers, and ministries of education
and training to prepare a new generation of productive, resilient
workers and managers for success in the information age.
