Abstract

Employment and school-to-work transitions are major challenges for Aboriginal and cultural minority youth in Canada, given that unemployment rates for these groups tend to be two to three times the rate for other youth. In this chapter, we describe the issues, options, and pathways affecting school-to-work transitions for these young people. We then summarize results from our research projects involving Aboriginal and cultural minority youth and young adults. Our analysis and discussion conclude with implications for research, practice, and policy.
