Research : Youth Unemployment in Australia: a contextual, governmental and organisational perspective
The Smith Family for the AMP Foundation - Youth unemployment rates have remained high over the past decade in Australia and internationally, we have continued to fare poorly in this regard. This report considers the prevalence of youth unemployment for teenagers (15-19 year olds) and young adults (20-24 year olds). It identifies those youth at greatest risk of unemployment and the individual and societal costs that result from unemployment among this group. Section B examines government policies and programs aimed at addressing youth unemployment; focussing in some detail on mutual obligation. The third section benchmarks a number of not-for-profit organisations’ programs against selected best practice criteria.
