Description
This work examines how young part-time and full-time workers experience their first jobs, how attitudes and beliefs about work are formed, and how current economic and social conditions shape young people's experience. Chapter topics include the cost and benefits of part-time work; how income acquired is used and young people's salary expectations, the experience of unemployment, child labour and underground economies, occupational health and safety issues; and young people's experience of and attitudes toward labour unions. In their conclusion, the editors highlight the diversity of both young workers themselves and their experience of the labour market.
