Youth at Work in Canada
(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.
