Abstract
Reports a pilot study of parttime youth employment amongsixthformers in Greater Manchester and Cheshire which found that thevast majority of students worked in catering and retailing. Even thoughyouth wages are no longer regulated by wages councils, and the recessioncould be expected to exert a downward pressure on pay, the pay levelsfound were significantly higher than the junior wages council minimathat could have been expected to be in force in 1993. An overwhelmingmajority of the students were satisfied with their pay. For employers,the young constitute a relatively cheap and flexible labour source.Increasing numbers of students in sixth forms and higher educationthroughout the decade will apparently need to work, thus providing aninteresting scenario for further research into youth pay and employmentin the 1990s.
