About this book

Bringing together contributions from international scholars, this book explores the changing nature of young people's transitions and challenges assumptions about pathways from education into employment in contemporary society.

Reviews

'This is an interesting, well structured book that draws upon a wide range of literature. The book examines key issues relating to our understanding of the changing nature of young people's transitions from education to work from an international comparative perspective...[it] is particularly valuable for the diversity afforded by the international scope and for the multiplicity of young people's experiences and contexts represented.' - British Educational Research Journal
