Exploring the School to Work Transition for Adolescent Girls

  • R Research Project/Report/Study

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

Marginalised adolescent girls should be able to move to livelihood opportunities – not only formal jobs but also informal work and self-employment – that are secure, safe, fulfilling and productive. So that they can make that transition, it is vital to extend their education to 12 years of quality schooling. This will give them chances to acquire the kinds of skills they need, and to look beyond the education system to bring down barriers to their full participation in society.
