Provides an analysis of changing patterns of transition from before the second world war to the end of the twentieth century. Examines longer term changes in the occupational structure and consequential transformation of the patterns of labour market entry for young people. Identifies two main changes: a shift in labour market entry from manual to non-manual work, and from low- to higher-skilled jobs. Provides an empirical basis for understanding transitions and how they have changed for the generality of young people. Analyses transitions over the early years of working life through an examination of the changing patterns of labour market entry over the longer term, and links labour market entry to subsequent early work-life occupational mobility. Looks at the relative influences of gender and class. Considers the significance of changing transition opportunities in relation to the persistence of social exclusion amongst young people. Assesses life chances of young people and patterns of advantage and disadvantage.
