Abstract

Youth employment outcomes in urban Australia vary substantially between neighbourhoods. Using Census data from 1991 and 1996 this paper examines youth employment outcomes in the Melbourne metropolitan region. The influence of adult demographic characteristics of neighbourhoods on youth employment outcomes are examined. Differences between youth unemployment for a panel of neighbourhoods over the two census periods suggest that the economic growth that occurred after the 1991 recession did not benefit poorer areas. The influences of neighbourhood, distance and family appear to be compounding the disadvantage that face youth in some areas.
