In this study a research design for a study of youth work transition is developed and pretested. Available statistics on the scope and severity of youth unemployment are examined and it is concluded that the problems of unemployment are more severe for those under 25 than for any other age group and that the situation is likely to get worse as young people in the next ten years will encounter a situation where ahead of them in the occupational structure are a large number of older, but still young, workers. It is suggested that the problems faced by youth in the work world could be alleviated if more information were available on what variables determine job success and on what effects various educational and training programs have on youth's work transition. However, such research is a major undertaking and much preliminary work to select effective instruments for measuring work attitudes and for developing effective methods of data gathering is required. Preliminary work carried out in this study includes determining an optimal sample size, compiling a questionnaire composed of a number of tested attitude scales, and the development of an optimal methodology for using mail questionnaires. A pre-test was carried out and the 24-page questionnaire was sent out to 600 high school leavers. A response rate of 64% was obtained even though time and budget constraints meant only a portion of the mail questionnaire methodology could be used. A multivariate analysis of the results from the questionnaire showed the attitude scales had a significant explanatory effect on a number of variables related to job success. It is hoped that this study will prove useful to future researchers who plan to study the problems of youth work transition and that the excellent response to the pre-test will encourage government to grant the support and commitments such studies deserve. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

This paper investigates effects of family background characteristics on youth employment by migration status, with a focus on the influence of the highest education level in the family and equivalent family income, using the 2009-2010 microdata from the CCHS. The results indicate that a 10 percent increase in equivalent family income is associated with a 1.12 percent and a 0.39 percent increase in the probability of youth to be employed for immigrant female and native-born female, respectively. However, the family’s highest education level is not the determinant of youth employment. Moreover, employed youth are more likely to work part-time if they attend school, which reduce average 10 working hours per week. Provincial employment rate and other family characteristics such as family size, the language spoken at home, and ethnic background are also associated with youth employment. My findings highlight that, immigrant youth are suggested to be employed and educated more. / n/a
