Triumphs and Tears: Young People, Markets, and the Transition from School to Work

By Phil Hodkinson, Heather Hodkinson, Andrew Sparkes

Book Overview

First Published in 1996. The transition from school to work has always been a crucial time in the lives of young people. How and when this transition is made can have a major impact upon the sense of identity they develop, the importance they feel they have in the eyes of others, the kind of person they want to be and their view of the world in general. This book is about the nature of that transition for one small group of young people, making the journey in the new policy environment of post-Thatcherite Britain.
