Paper Abstract:
|
This essay examines the academic literature relating to transitions of young people from education to employment critically looking at historical and contemporary issues of transition and has identified job changes, employer shifting, periods of unemployment, less apprenticeship choices, a great deal of adult authority, race, social class, education, training, social support and disability as common challenges to both sexes. It has then explored some specific and extra challenges for female school leavers and identified them as surrogate motherhood, marriage, motherhood, family, household, stereotyping, realism, materialism, single parent families, and gendered segregation. It has also been found out that the transition from school to work for both sexes was almost as challenging in the past as is today though the nature of challenges is slightly different. However, the additional challenges for female worker during transition make it a gendered process. |
