Young Adults transitions from education to work - new ARC project
One of the speakers at the Engaging Young People in Lifelong Learning conference previously posted is Professor Johanna Wyn of the University of Melbourne. We are very pleased to report that Professor Wyn has been awarded an Australian Research Council Grant on Young Adults transitions from education to work. The project which will be undertaken over a three year period is led by University of Melbourne.
From Glasgow we are particularly pleased to report that Professor Andy Furlong, an associate of PASCAL (amongst many things) is a co-investigator in the project.
Here are the details:
Researchers: Professor Johanna Wyn; Dr Daniel Woodman; Associate Professor Helen Cahill; Professor Andy Furlong
The project plans to analyse young adults' transitions from education to work from ages 27 to 31 (201620). This period is crucial for economic and social integration, however unemployment and insecure work are increasing, creating challenges. The longitudinal design includes a cross-generational analysis with a cohort of young Australians who were 27 in 2001 and 31 in 2005, to analyse changes in economic and social integration since the global financial crisis. It plans to extend current policy frameworks of youth transitions to explore the relationship between education, work and wellbeing, and contribute new knowledge about changing forms of vulnerability and the factors that support integration and resilience for young adults. Expected project outcomes are an evidence base about the resources that enable young adults to maximise their social and economic participation in society.
Congratulations to the team.
