Document Summary
History of adolescent work in industrialized countries. Current trends of adolescent work in industrialized countries. In europe from about 1500 to 1700, it was common for young people to leave their homes to take part in life-cycle service during their late teens and twenties. As industrialization proceeded in the 18th and 19th centuries, it became common for adolescents to work in factories. Children and adolescents who worked in cotton mills were only half as likely to live past age 20 as those outside the mill. Most american girls baby-sit as their first job. American boys usually do yard work as their first work experience. For older adolescents, the majority of work is in restaurants or retail sales. On average high school: sophomores work 15 hours a week, seniors work 20 hours per week. Beyond 20 hours per week: problems become considerably worse. Beyond 10 hours per week: anxiety, depression, sleep per night declines, disruptive to eating and exercise habits.
