scholarly journals A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PARTICULARITIES ATTITUDE TO THE LABOR OF STUDENTS AND WORKING YOUTH

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the research results of the attitude to the labor of students and working youth. The author substantiates the relevance and significance of practical study of attitude to the labor of young people. In this study, working youth is divided into three groups, which represent three levels of socio-economic status: low, medium and high. Author also describes the criteria for the division of working youth into these groups. It is suggested to pay attention to the importance of the problem of socio-economic status of young people, which affects the attitude to the labor. The article presents the structural components of the concept of «attitude to the labor» and lists the indicators of this concept, which were practically investigated in all groups of young people. Motivational-semantic component of the attitude to labor includes such indicators as: «internal processes»; «internalization of purpose»; «instrumental motivation»; «orientation to the labor process». Emotional-evaluation component includes next indicators: «satisfaction with working conditions»; «satisfaction with achievements in work»; «feeling of success in professional activity». Behavioral component includes: «readiness for energy costs»; «distance to work»; «active strategy for solving problems». The paper presents comparative analysis and interpretation of the manifestation of these indicators in all groups of young people is conducted. The results of the comparative analysis are presented in the graphs of average.

AbstractIntroductionSubstance abuse remains one of the major challenges in young people, as it is one of the top five causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALY). The present study aims to find the prevalence and determinants of substance use among young people attending an urban primary health center in Delhi.MethodologySystematic random sampling was used to enroll the calculated sample size of 190. Substance use was assessed using ASSIST (an Alcohol Smoking Substance Involvement Screening Tool) and brief intervention was given based on the standard guidelines of ASSIST. The total score among the substance users is calculated and divided into Grades 1, 2 or 3. Log binomial regression was performed to quantify the association between substance use and covariates such as age, sex, education, occupation, family history of substance use, socio-economic status and family type. The association was expressed in odds ratio (OR) with 95 percent confidence interval (CI).ResultThe mean age of study participants was 18.6 ± 4.1, ranges from 10 to 24 years. Out of 48 substance users, 43.7% were consuming only tobacco, 22.9% were consuming only alcohol and 33.3% were polysubstance users. The history of substance use among family members of participants was found to be 46.3%. Median substance involvement score of tobacco, alcohol and cannabis users was 19 (IQR: 14.5–22), 19 (IQR: 13.5–25) and 22.5 (IQR: 22–23), respectively. Among tobacco users, 2.7% were Grade 1 and 7.2% were Grade 2. Four (16%), 20 (80%) and one (4%) of alcohol users were Grades 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Among the cannabis users, four (100%) were in the Grade 2 category. The median age of initiation of substance use among users was 16 (range 13–21) years. The analysis shows substance use was almost 25 times (adjusted OR = 25.84, 95% CI 5.65–118.09) more common among males and it increase by 2.5 times with a decrease in socio-economic status (adjusted OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.27–5.02) and the result is significant. The substance use was almost 7 times higher when there is a family history of substance usage (adjusted OR = 7.40, 95% CI 2.15–25.4). Residential and marital status were not significantly associated with substance use.ConclusionMale sex, lower socio-economic status, participants currently not going to school/college, family history of substance use were found to be significant predictors of substance use among the study participants.

Strong and viable modern states have limited the use of private force to narrowly-defined situations of self-defense. Yet, evidence from crime surveys shows that a significant proportion of violent and property crimes is not reported to police. Instead of calling the police, people either take no action or employ a variety of mechanisms, including retaliation, to settle disputes. Drawing on data from a survey of 2,921 young people in two German cities, we investigate the propensity of adolescents to resort to self-justice retaliation. The results show widespread propensity to engage in retaliatory actions, particularly among adolescent males of low socio-economic status. Further, attitudes to the police, unsupervised routine activities, and delinquency-related variables were the most influential correlates of propensity to engage in retaliatory actions.

The paper deals with certain aspects of the family background of upper classes pupils in a primary school in Split. Some of the basic moments of parental socio-economic status and general social milieu are illustrated as well. Specific qualities of interactions developed in these contexts between parents and their children are dealt with in particular. The empirical state "recorded" by a questionnaire at the begining of 1996 is presented in its entirety. It can be generally concluded that our young people establish a close relation between love - health - happiness - welfare. The four-item correlation seems to be a sort of motto to most of them. Within social relations, school as an institution and teachers as incumbents of the teaching process are not isolated factors, in spite of general claims as to on their passiveness. Most empirical findings inspire us with optimism and hope for a better future but at the same time they confirm an understanding that there does not exist any enclosed social area free of any kind of problems.

This article reports on a study that investigated the education pathways of 464 young people. We were interested in the effects of New Zealand citizenship and Pacific ethnicity on pathways so compared findings for three groups residing in Australia: Pacific youth with New Zealand citizenship, Pacific youth with Australian citizenship, and non-Pacific youth with Australian citizenship. Findings showed that the first group was significantly less likely than others to have gained a university qualification. Pacific youth, regardless of citizenship, were more likely than non-Pacific peers to have a vocational qualification rather than a university qualification. No evidence suggests this resulted from lack of motivation or lack of ability. However, two inter-related factors explained outcomes for the Pacific cohort: likelihood of low socio-economic status and first-in-family to attend university. We propose that Pacific communities’ collectivist orientation may also restrict opportunities for Pacific youth seeking higher education pathways. We therefore argue that until Pacific young people are better represented in higher education cohorts, they should be a targeted equity group, and that the Australian government’s decision to exclude many of these young people from higher education loans is an anomaly in the context of its ‘widening participation’ agenda for Australian higher education.
