Part-time Employment Undermines Students Commitment to School

Summary: According to Laurence Steinberg's article "Part-time employment hurts students' commitment to school," the study explains. Teenagers working at school are more likely to give up their commitment to school. Steinberg talks about the impact of working over 20 hours a week on students. His theory is that students are more likely to lose interest in school as they work.

When considering the impact of part-time employment on junior high school students, it is useful to provide backgrounds for studying the types of work that these students are involved in. In this report, the survey of the impact of employment includes both the subjective opinion of the student working part-time and the effect of easier proof and objective measurement over the years. The latter includes the impact on the completion of the school, and the final annual result shows the end of the academic record and the initial result of the after-school labor market.

In this report, we will explain the influence of students working part-time at school on their students. It is widely believed that many students work part-time in non-working hours, but little is known about the outcome of such employment. It has been shown that about a quarter to one third of Australian high school students work part-time in the academic year part time (Robinson, 1996). This percentage varies depending on the age of the school, grade and sex. The percentage of men is working at a higher age, but in the following year of duty, the proportion of women (40%) greatly exceeded the proportion of men (30%) and changed in the opposite direction. The average time for these jobs is usually 8 or 9 hours a week - 8 hours for ninth graders (1989, 1990, 1995) in 1992 and nine hours a week for 17 years of age (Robinson, 1996, 1997)
