Even when economic growth was strong, one young person in 10 in the United Kingdom was neither working nor learning. As the boom ended, the number of young people dropping out after leaving school - already acknowledged to be too high - began to rise at an alarming rate. As governments face up to the prospect of a new generation on the dole, this book examines the root causes of the problem.By holding a light to the liveYouth with social disabilitiesEducationGreat BritainCase studiesSchool failureGreat BritainCase studiesYouthEmploymentGreat BritainCase studiesYouthGreat BritainSocial conditionsCase studiesYouth with social disabilitiesEducationSchool failureYouthEmploymentYouthSocial conditions373.1826/94Abrams Fran1963-1704982MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813509203321Learning to fail4091336UNINA
