The
Global World of Work: a social map for young people
|
Robbie Johnston Currently the concerns for the future of Tasmania frequently focus on social
factors resulting from the commonly accepted poor state of the economy. Young
people are are not immune from the general feeling of malaise and in many instances
choose to leave to live in mainland states where there is statistically increased
availability of employment opportunity. Funding is made available to address
the population decline. Frequently highly publicised debates emphasise either
economic or environmental factors. However young people surely also need maps
of society to fully understand the processes interacting to produce the social
systems of which they are a part. This paper will highlight some of the issues
and the ways in which educators at all levels can begin to facilitate an understanding
of the interacting processes as they exist currently and in other places and
times.
