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 live 606 $aYouth with social disabilities$xEducation$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aSchool failure$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aYouth$xEmployment$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aYouth$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYouth with social disabilities$xEducation 615 0$aSchool failure 615 0$aYouth$xEmployment 615 0$aYouth$xSocial conditions 676 $a373.1826/94 700 $aAbrams$b Fran$f1963-,$0859797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455420003321 996 $aLearning to fail$91918608 997 $aUNINA
