Adolescence and Work cover

This volume illustrates connections between the concerns of vocational psychology and the adjoining disciplines of sociology, cultural anthropology, and labor economics. The intent is to suggest how vocational psychology and career counseling might recognize more explicitly the ever-changing social influences and institutional constraints that affect individual as they begin,or contemplate beginning, their adult work.

"...The skillful blending of psychological, sociological, economic, and cultural perspectives makes this well-written and empirically based volume useful to social scientists interested in the social psychology of attainment, minority and cross-cultural differences, and the functioning of the youth labor market."
Contemporary Sociology

"...Readers concerned with education and the future will find their thoughts stimulated by this book."
