Paid
Work: Youth employment
In 1995, 85% of young people who were in the labour force had a
job, and most worked full-time. The employment patterns of young
people are quite different from those of older people. Many young
people combine part-time work with full-time study, either at school
or in further education, and it is often not until they reach the
upper end of the youth age range that they take their first full-time
job. The employment experiences of young people can have an important
impact on their later employment prospects. Young people seeking
their first full-time job may be advantaged by having had some part-time
work experience while completing their education
