5203 |aFor youths, the ages 15 to 19 are a transition period. Most still live at home and a growing percentage are enrolled in academic institutions. At the same time, however, they are beginning to experience problems and characteristics usually associated with adult life. Many, for example, have begun to leave home; others are entering the labour market for the first time. Youths have the highest unemployment rate of any age group in the country. In addition, those who head families or live alone have very low incomes. These characteristics and others - demographic, family status, education, labour force characteristics, income, health, time-use patterns, criminal activity and victimization - are described in this report, which has drawn upon many sources.
