- W1569109628 abstract "My thesis seeks to explore and document the processes involved in the career transitionsof a specific sample of unqualified minimum age school leavers drawn from a highunemployment inner city area. The main body of data was collected ethnographicallybetween 1985 and 1990, although the original 'data-base', entree into the field, and 'insiderstatus' were derived from my former employment in a Youth and Community Project inthe study area.The research has identified three broad patterns of labour market transition: the firstinvolved a minority of participants and was a traditional post-school transition to primaryemployment; the second involved a slightly larger group in protracted transitions viacombinations of experiences which included unemployment, underemployment andgovernment schemes; the third and most common pattern involved a cyclical post-schooltransition described by some study participants as the 'Black Magic Roundabout'. Cyclicaltransitions entailed early careers in which participants became trapped on a (not so) merrygo-round of unemployment, government schemes and special programmes, youth jobs,work in the informal economy, more unemployment, schemes, and so on. Generally, thistransition preceded the slide into cynicism, disillusionment and labour market withdrawal.Each of the labour market transitions reflected a complementary career pattern in terms ofentry into and progress through adult domestic life. Case studies explore individualresponses which were mediated by the inter-relationships between labour market anddomestic career transitions and trends in government policy, the economy, local labourmarket conditions, housing and the family.By far the largest group among research participants were those who had moved throughcyclical transitions and labour market withdrawal into long-term unemployment. My studyillustrates how this group restricted social networks to others in a similar position, built ona common sense of identity and reduced commitment to the orthodox labour market. Mystudy reveals that to those for whom employment was perceived as only a distant anddiminished possibility, alternative status systems were subculturally conceived.Significantly large numbers of participants proactively explored, constructed and pursuedsub- and anti-employment careers. Affiliation to the sub- and anti-employmentsubcultures enabled participants to offset threats to psychological well-being posed bytheir objective labour market positions and provided alternative routes to income, status,identity and meaning.Of all the post-sixteen progression routes, the slide into the informal economy andacquisitive criminality is the most under-researched. Detailed exploration of these nonconventionalroutes contributes to the contemporary understanding of post-schooltransitions and provides knowledge of the 'career points' through which this transitionoccurs." @default.
