Abstract: It is widely recognised that recent changes in occupational structure and the declining demand in the labour market for young people, have made it more difficult for school-leavers to find employment. In response to this, policy makers have focused attention on firstly identifying and then removing barriers to school-leavers finding work. The methods used by school-leavers to find employment are the primary concern of this report.
