Employment among High School Students in the Eastern Townships : Effects on Psychological Well-being, Academic Performance and Occupational Safety
|
| Abstract |
The authors point out that teenage workers are now common in the workforce and studies have identified both benefits and problems associated with balancing school and work. Their study examines the effects of personal and work characteristics on the psychological well-being, academic performance, and occupational safety of 263 working high school students attending a mid-sized English regional high school in Sherbrooke in Quebec's Eastern Townships. The authors conclude that their results suggest that self-employment and working for personal growth are associated with higher levels of psychological well-being, and that teenagers working for a family business are exposed to more occupational hazards. They conclude that school-year employment does not appear to impact on grades.
