Without a Paddle: What to do About Canada's Young Drop-outs
The transition from student life to earning a living is a critical process
in almost everyone’s life. When successful, it sets one on a life of personal
fulfillment, and helps people make a strong contribution to the economy and
to their communities. But too often, young people struggle through the process:
they are caught in a web of circumstances, experiences and attitudes which challenge
their capacity to pull their life together. One of the groups of young people
who potentially face such a struggle is young adults who did not complete high
school. This report examines their experience in the labour market, in Canada
and in other countries, and identifies implications for Canadian policy-makers.
