Secondary school graduates of the late 1980s and early 1990s have found themselves coping with economic insecurity, social change and workplace restructuring. Drawing on studies that have recorded the lives of young people in Canada and Australia for more than 15 years, The Making of a Gene­ration offers insight into the hopes, dreams and trajectories of a generation. The authors discuss the consequences of education and labour policies, emphasizing the impacts on health, well-being and family formation, and seek to provide answers to the overarching question of how a generation is made.
