Is Work Beneficial to Teenagers?

Gottfredson, Denise C.

NASSP Bulletin, v69 n478 p66-72 Feb 1985

A national study of 2,000 secondary school students found that the work experiences available to teenagers have little or no effect on their tendency to delinquency, their academic learning, or their psychological well-being. Earlier studies suggest that coordinating work with education more systematically could provide social benefits. (PGD)
