In the early 1970s, nearly three-quarters of 16-19-year-olds were employed. First published in 1984, Rethinking Transition comprises a collection of papers based on the evaluation of a group of projects concerned with the problems faced by young people in the transition from school to working life. The projects were funded by the European Economic Commission, the Department of Education and Science and various Education Authorities in England and Wales.
