Young Adult Development at the School-to-Work Transition by E Anne Marshall
The school-to-work transition is a critical part of the human life-span for young adults, their families, and society. The timing of the transition varies greatly and its co-occurrence with a number of other life transitions make it challenging to summarize or generalize. Individual differences and normative developmental factors, as well as external contextual factors such as global pandemics, changing economic circumstances, workplace demands, and cultural shifts, intersect to create a range of challenges and opportunities for those navigating this transition. Written by internationally renowned scholars in developmental psychology, applied psychology, counseling, and sociology, the chapters in this book highlight the trends, issues, and actions that researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers need to consider in order to effectively support young adults' transition to work pathways. This volume provides an explicitly international perspective on this area, broad coverage of psychological topics on the school-to-work transition, and an inclusive focus on sub-groups and minority groups, making it a must-read for those who support young adults as they move from school to work.
Given the challenges facing young people in their school-to-work- transition in the current climate of economic boom and bust, this book examining different perspectives of how to support young people in their transition through education and into the workforce is much neededThis must-read volume provides important information regarding the personal and social resources that help young adults to make it into the labour market, also providing attention to sub-groups in the population such as young adults with disabilities and special needs, cultural minorities, international students, and migrants. * Ingrid Schoon, Professor of Human Development and Social Policy, University College London *
