Drawing on studies that have recorded the lives of young people in two countries for over fifteen years, The Making of a Generation offers unique insight into the hopes, dreams, and trajectories of a generation.  aAlthough children born in the 1970s were more educated than ever before, as adults they entered new labour markets that were de-regulated and precarious. Lesley Andres and Johanna Wyn discuss the consequences of education and labour policies in Canada and Australia, emphasizing their long-term impacts on health, well-being, and family formation. They conclude that these young adults bore the brunt of policies designed to bring about rapid changes in the nature of work. Despite their modest hopes and aspirations for security, those born in the 1970s became a vanguard generation as they negotiated the significant social and economic transformations of the 1990s."--pub. desc. 0aYoung adultszCanadaxSocial conditions. 0aYoung adultszAustraliaxSocial conditions. 0aGeneration XzCanada. 0aGeneration XzAustralia. 6aJeunes adulteszCanadaxConditions sociales. 6aJeunes adulteszAustraliexConditions sociales. 6aGénération XzCanada. 6aGénération XzAustralie. 0aCanadaxSocial conditionsy1971-1991. 0aCanadaxSocial conditionsy1991- 0aAustraliaxSocial conditions. 6aCanadaxConditions socialesy1971-1991. 6aCanadaxConditions socialesy1991- 6aAustraliexConditions sociales.1 aWyn, Johanna,d1952-
