A Psychosocial Development Approach to Understanding Youth Work Outcomes: An Exploratory Study Utilizing National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) Data Presented: New Orleans LA, Society for Social Work and Research Annual Conference, January 2017 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Keyword(s): Benefits, Fringe; Family Environment; Job Satisfaction; Occupational Choice; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Schooling; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The problem of youth unemployment has been traditionally understood through an economics lens and reduced to the simple binary outcome of employment status. Nonetheless, such a conceptualization ignores the psychological and social aspects of work, as well as the various dimensions of employment. The purpose of this exploratory study is to take a psychosocial development approach to understanding the problem of youth unemployment by testing for the relationship between psychosocial development factors and five dimensions of employment: occupation type, annual hours worked, average annual wage per hours worked, annual paid time off, and job satisfaction. The study leveraged Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, which identifies four factors as the drivers of psychosocial development in the first five pre-adult stages: family (stages one to three), school experiences (stage four), peers and friends (stages four and five), and the ability to make work choices (stage five). |
