High School Students' Jobs
Work experience can be beneficial to high school students, especially when the work is regular and less than 20 hours/week. Previous studies have found that school-related work experience provides more learning opportunities with fewer negative consequences than jobs unrelated to school. This study analyzed responses of 22,183 seniors from 868 high schools who had been employed during the school year. In this study, contrary to previous studies, …
Functional Roles of Important Nonfamily Adults for Youth
Variety Pass-Through
We examine variety pass-through effects that occur when multiproduct retailers adjust the length of their product lines in response to changes in wholesale prices. Studying variety pass-through is essential to understanding how wholesale price changes transmit into retail prices when variety is endogenous. Using data from the ready-to-eat breakfast cereal category, we find that retailers jointly adjust retail prices and the length of their produc…
Linking Research to the Practice of Youth Development
The articles in this special issue address some of the challenges of strengthening the links between research and the practice of youth development and identify some approaches that have worked well. Youth development emerged from practice rather than from theory or research. Research that is most useful in the practice of youth development honors that primacy both by exploring questions that are important in practice and by engaging practitioner…
Translational Research and Youth Development
Borrowing the term “translational research” (TR) from medicine, along with some of the ideas and practices that define it, holds promise as a way of linking research more closely to the practice of youth development. However, doing so entails substantial adaptation. TR is more than a new name for applied research. It comprehends the sequence of very different kinds of research that connect new knowledge with practice and ultimately with enhanced …
Seeking Social Inventions to Improve the Transition to Adulthood
Social inventions are new ways of solving human problems. This article reports on an action research project designed to find social inventions to reduce structural lag in four programs that support the transition to adulthood of marginalized youth in Latin America. The investigators engaged youth and staff members in identifying important questions, collecting and interpreting data, and using findings to improve their practices. Their issues ali…
On the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development
Opening Pathways for Vulnerable Young People in Patagonia
New and improved institutions are needed to support the transition to adulthood of vulnerable young people. Existing institutions that should provide that support demonstrate structural lag: they have not adapted to changing circumstances. Action research was conducted in Por un Mañana, an employment training program for low‐income youth and young adults in the Patagonia region of Argentina to explore how to build developmental assets and to over…
A Precarious Passage
Child-only cases,” minors who receive welfare benefits as individuals, lose their eligibility at age 18 but face the same challenges to self-sufficiency as other “emerging adults.” This study examines how 59 youth in 4 New York State communities thought about and prepared for the termination of their benefits. In 8 focus groups and 12 follow-up interviews they spoke of their aspirations for education, employment, relationships with people, and ma…
Community contexts for mentoring
Mentoring programs attempt to foster a relationship that is too often missing from the lives of disadvantaged children and youth. However, in view of both the power and the limitations of mentoring programs, it is important to understand how mentoring occurs naturally. Assuming an ecological perspective, we examine mentoring in four contexts: classrooms, youth development organizations, work and service‐learning, and faith‐ based organizations. A…
The Role of Youth Surveys in Community Youth Development Initiatives
Youth development practitioners and involved citizens can become confused when confronted with multiple approaches to understanding youth needs and improving communities as contexts for youth development. To reduce that confusion, this article describes 3 youth development surveys: the Communities That Care (CTC) Youth Survey; Search Institute's Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors; and the Teen Assessment Project. It also compares t…
Naturally Occurring Mentoring in Japan and the United States
Although the word “mentor” has traditionally been used to describe a relationship between an older adult and a younger person, recent work has extended its usage to relationships with peers and groups rather than with individuals and uncoupled the instrumental and affective qualities of the role. This paper examines (a) the extent to which adolescents' relationships with significant others in different social roles are characterized by mentoring …

Youth Unemployment and Society
As societies become more technically advanced and jobs require more expertise, young people are forced into a prolonged state of social marginality. Employment during adolescence could provide significant experiences for growth into later work roles, but most societies are not equipped to provide adolescents with meaningful work experience. In Youth Unemployment and Society, historians, psychologists, economists and sociologists provide a cross-n…
The School-to-Career Transition in Germany and the United States
This article compares the structure of the educational systems in the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany, with emphasis on organizational and cumricular features of both school-based and work-based preparation for employment. The German and American educational systems have developed fundamentally different models for the transition from the educational system into the labor market. These differences, which are character…

International Comparisons of Vocational Education and Training for Intermediate Skills
Prospects for an American-Style Youth Apprenticeship System
Tom Bailey correctly identifies the greatest challenges to successfully transforming the idea of youth apprenticeship into reality. Although his cautions are well founded, they do not justify the turn toward alternative approaches that he recommends, especially not before demonstration projects that are just now being mounted have had time to yield results. Specific components can be built into an American-style youth apprenticeship system so tha…
Educating Workers for a New World
Household Archaeology of a Southern Northwest Coast Plank House
Five seasons of excavation at the Meier site, near Portland, Oregon, have exposed portions of a very large (14 m × 35 m) plank house dating to late prehistoric times. The Meier house is unusual not only because of its size but because it is part of a Northwest Coast residential site that is not a deep shell midden. Detailed information about the frequency of repair and modification of the house indicates the great extent to which the site's occup…

The Impact of Volunteer Experience on Adolescent Social Development
The Social and Personal Responsibility Scale was employed in a study of the Youth Volunteers program, involving 44 adolescents in 12 projects, equally divided between child care and community service. Participants showed statistically significant gains on the Social Responsibility subscale. Girls gained more than boys and volunteers in community improvement projects gained more than those in child care. However, as in previous studies, gains were…

Experiential Learning Programs for Youth
Opportunities for young people of secondary school age to learn outside of classrooms currently exist in a variety of programs, and the proliferation of such programs has been widely recommended. Their promise lies in engaging the learner more actively in learning, in contrast to the relative passivity of much classroom learning. Its proponents argue that such learning is more easily applied to real situations and that it need not rely on such ex…

Learning Civics in the Community
To test the effects of an out-of-classroom experiential learning program on adolescents' knowledge and attitudes about local government, high school students serving as interns to local government officials were compared to students selected to participate in the same program at a later time. Regression analyses controlling for pretest scores yielded statistically significant differences in favor of the interns for knowledge and political efficac…

Apprenticeship as a Transition to Adulthood in West Germany
One means of gaining an ecological perspective on adolescent development is to examine another country's institutions for youth. While the United States has no institution that effectively bridges school and work, half of West Germany's 16-18-year-olds are apprentices, learning a career in the workplace while attending school only one day a week. Apprenticeship enables youth who do not enroll in higher education to move directly into primary-labo…

Adolescents in Community Settings
Throughout the 70's, educational reformers recommended youth learning in the community. While substantial amounts of federal money have been expended on youth employment programs and their evaluation, the development of programs offering unpaid community experience has proceeded with less financial support and much less research. Evaluations of unpaid work experience programs have uniformly found strong support from participants, their parents, a…

School and Work in the Lives of West German Adolescents
International comparisons have intrinsic interest but are also useful means of understanding our own society more thoroughly. West Germany's school system presents several contrasts with the United States'. At the secondary level it is far more differentiated, containing three distinct types of schools that are ordinarily located in separate buildings. Even more dramatically, apprenticeship, rather than full-time schooling, constitutes the larges…
