The HYPAF report, prepared by Lyn Robinson, Mike Long and Stephen Lamb from the Centre for Research on Education Systems at the University of Melbourne, shows two significant long-term trends:
- the stability of working life for young people has steadily decreased
- Australia’s economic prosperity is consistently not being passed on to many young people.
