Training Without Jobs: New Deals and Broken Promises : from Raising the School Leaving Age to the Youth Training SchemeDiscusses the evolution of State intervention in prohibiting children in the UK from full-time employment and increasing control over the conditions awaiting school leavers in the labour market. Looks at the training policy trends through the introduction of compulsory schooling in 1880 and the creation of the two-year Youth Training Scheme in 1983. Describes ways in which the experiences and possibilities of minimum age school leavers have been actively transformed as successive governments have attempted to structure the transition into work. |
