摘要：This paper reports a comparative analysis of data from two linked national projects carried out in the United Kingdom and Canada during 1987–1990. The two projects providing the base data are, respectively, the 16–19 Initiative—an Economic and Social Research Council funded programme of research into the educational and occupational experiences of young adults in contrasting local labour markets in the UK—and a project funded by the University of Ottawa to replicate aspects of the UK study in the Canadian context, using similar instruments, constructs and methodology. The author is a member of the core research team for the 16–19 Initiative, and assisted the University of Ottawa team in establishing the parallel Canadian project with British Council support. A subsequent Canadian Studies grant from the Canadian Department of External Affairs enabled the author to spend a period working with the Canadian team, to lay the foundations for comparative analysis. Main data collection sites in Ottawa, the Province of Newfoundland and Victoria, British Columbia, were visited and further interviews conducted with key policy makers at provincial and local level to assist in contextual analysis and cross cultural comparison.
