Description
The adolescent, already a son/daughter, sibling, student, and friend, sometimes finds yet another role foisted upon him- or herselfthat of the worker. A National Youth Commission survey estimated that the number of so-called “working youth” in the Philippines in 2001 was approximately 12,000,000 (NYC, 2001) and growing. The present study is concerned with these working adolescents and their conceptions of their work: the meaning of work as these young ones see it, the circumstances that drive them to seek a role transition to worker that is typically reserved for adulthood (Arnett, 2001), and the contributions of work to their young lives, both the beneficial and the detrimental.
