Employment pathways for care-leavers in South Africa
(Prof Adrian D. van Breda)
Transitioning from alternative care into young adulthood is a challenge for many care-leavers. Access to employment is one of their key milestones, but research shows that care-leavers struggle more than age-equivalent youth without care experience to acquire and maintain employment. However, research on the enablers of and barriers to employment for care-leavers is relatively scarce.
Data will be presented on the enablers and barriers to acquiring and maintaining employment. In addition, data will be presented regarding the employment pathways, drawing on another 34 Girls and Boys Town care-leavers.
