abstract: 'The rates of disengagement from school and youth unemployment rates
|
||||
|
||||
continue to rise in Australia and internationally. Social enterprises,
|
||||
|
||||
that is, intermediate labour market programs guided by a social mission,
|
||||
|
||||
are one method that is successfully addressing these issues and
|
||||
|
||||
assisting young people to obtain employment in the open labour market or
|
||||
|
||||
to re-engage with education. BoysTown is a not-for-profit organisation
|
||||
|
||||
that operates social enterprises for marginalised young people in lower
|
||||
|
||||
socioeconomic areas which contain high concentration of social housing
|
||||
|
||||
estates. The social housing in Australia is managed by State Government
|
||||
|
||||
who view the type of housing as welfare accommodation for low income
|
||||
|
||||
earners or people with support need. Griffith University collaborated
|
||||
|
||||
with BoysTown on an Australian Research Council linkage project to
|
||||
|
||||
assess the personal development outcomes as well as the employment and
|
||||
|
||||
education outcomes achieved by young people in the social enterprises.
|
||||
|
||||
Of the 542 participants in the study, 23\% (n = 126) were living in
|
||||
|
||||
social housing. The focus of this paper will be on this cohort and the
|
||||
|
||||
social enterprise work that they do in social housing areas. These
|
||||
|
||||
participants were dealing with barriers such as intergenerational
|
||||
|
||||
unemployment, limited work history, early school leaving, and low
|
||||
|
||||
qualifications. Surveys implemented with young people at their entry and
|
||||
|
||||
exit points of the social enterprises indicated statistically
|
||||
|
||||
significant improvements in a range of psycho-social and cultural as
|
||||
|
||||
well as cognitive-motivational outcomes for participant. Furthermore, a
|
||||
|
||||
high number of these young people achieved employment and education
|
||||
|
||||
outcomes. The findings of this study support the use of social
|
||||
|
||||
enterprises in engaging young people from social housing and assisting
|
||||
|
||||
them to obtain employment and education outcomes.'
