How Young People are Faring 2008 provides information on how successfully our education and training system is working to meet the needs of young Australians as they make the transition from school to further study and work. It provides up-to-date analysis of the effectiveness of transitions, including information on who is doing well and who is not doing so well in negotiating the various post-school pathways.

The report has been published by the The Foundation for Young Australians in alliance with the Education Foundation .

This year, the report reveals that one in 10 teenagers (15-19 years) and one in five young adults (20-24 years) are not engaged in either full-time earning or learning. In light of the current financial climate, it also suggests that young people in particular may have tough times ahead.
