Youth at Work in Canada

Report Cover(by Jean L. Kunz and Grant Schellenberg, 1999, 28 pp., #564, $12.00)

This research report provides a portrait of the employment situation for Canadian teens. How many teens had work experience in the 1990s, compared to teens in earlier decades? What kinds of jobs do young people find? Does family status affect a young person's likelihood of employment? Do teenage girls fare better, or worse, than boys in the labour market? Does working part-time impede a young person's school performance? Answers to these and other questions are provided in this timely report.
