Whatever the level of qualification, first experiences on the labour market have a profound influence on later working life. Getting off to a good start facilitates integration and lays the foundation for a good career, while a failure can be difficult to make up. This report contains - for Australia - a survey of the main barriers to employment for young people, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to improve the transition from school-to-work, as well as a set of policy recommendations for further action.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 145-149).
Summary and Main Recommendations - Introduction -- The Challenge ahead -- Initial education and on-the-job training -- Demand-side opportunities and barriers -- The role of welfare and activation policies -- Bibliography.
