“…These results confirm earlier research that parents of working teenagers are supportive of their adolescents working outside the home for pay [1]. Parents appear to be confident about the maturity of their teens when it comes to handling job safety, although they are concerned about some hazards in the workplace and about the hours their teens work.…”

“…This research has suggested that parents generally favor teens holding jobs [1], despite literature indicating that adolescent work has both benefits and drawbacks. To the extent that parents are a source of information and influence for their teenagers regarding work decisions, as they are for other adolescent behaviors that affect health such as substance use or automobile driving [2][3][4], it is important to understand more clearly the nature of their views about adolescent work.…”

“…These desires are achieved partly by seeking greater independence from parents and engaging in a range of adultlike behaviors, including more work, substance use, and romantic and/or sexual involvement. However, parents may not object to the reduction of their parenting commitments and welcome evidence that their children are making strides toward independence, especially if they perceive that their children are performing well in school and at work (Aronson, et al, 1996: Phillips & Sandstrom, 1990. Few studies have examined parents' roles in the initiation and continuation of adolescent work and the joint effect on adolescent development of family functioning, parents' attitudes and desires for their children, the quality and intensity of adolescent work, and the behavior of adolescents on the job.…”

This review examines contemporary issues in vocational development with emphasis on adolescents' work experiences in social context. Attention is directed to the changing social and cultural context for vocational development, the influence of work experience on adolescent development and educational achievement, and theoretical approaches that guide contemporary studies of vocational development and career maturity. In light of the utility of current theories, new directions are suggested to enhance understanding of adolescent employment, vocational development, and educational pursuits. Social policy initiatives to promote adolescents' exercise of agency and their vocational development are considered. Adolescent Work, Vocational Development, and EducationAlthough working is an integral aspect of most teenagers' lives, little scholarly attention has been given to the developmental consequences of adolescent employment. In this review, we summarize contemporary theoretical and empirical issues, with emphasis on the ways in which adolescent work experience may impact educational, vocational and other domains of development. Integrating our perspectives in lifespan developmental psychology and life course sociology, we address key questions.Our review is informed by Bronfenbrenner's (1979) dictum that multiple arenas of life must be considered in tandem to comprehend any one sphere's influence on human development. As such, the organizing framework for this review is the influence of environment on adolescent development; the many activities that, when considered together, make up the social ecology of adolescent life, and the objective and subjective qualities of adolescents' activities. We start with the macrosystem by providing some socio-historical background on adolescent work. Following this, we address the question, how do the current social and cultural contexts condition adolescent work and the effects of adolescent employment on vocational, educational and other spheres of development? Next, we continue to emphasize the work environment as consequential in adolescents' lives by reviewing what we know about the influence of work on adolescent development, including educational pursuits.Following these discussions of contextual influences, we assess current theories that guide contemporary studies of vocational maturation and career choice processes, and new emergent issues. We ask whether this literature informs our understanding of the impacts of adolescent work and the qualities of work on development. We then address research design issues and directions that are needed to enhance our understanding of adolescent employment and

“…Malgré une perception d'abord positive reliée en partie à l'indépendance financière ainsi conquise (Philips et Sandstrom, 1990), certains irritants sont relevés, tels que l'augmentation du nombre de conflits et la diminution de la supervision parentale (Manning, 1990), des inquiétudes relatives à l'impact sur la performance scolaire, l'incitation à la consommation ou les conditions de travail dangereuses (Moreau et Lamoureux, 1992) et, enfin, le peu de temps passé avec la famille (Greenberger et Steinberg, 1986). …”

L'entrée sur le marché du travail des adolescents fait actuellement l'objet d'un intérêt croissant, entre autres en relation avec la problématique du décrochage scolaire. Les recherches effectuées sur ce sujet indiquent que le travail des jeunes présente un certain nombre d'effets pervers, et que les vertus qui lui sont conférées ne résistent pas toutes à l'examen, en fonction des besoins des adolescents. Cet article traite de la problématique générale des effets du travail des adolescents en relation avec les caractéristiques du marché de l'emploi et des enjeux spécifiques au développement à l'adolescence
