Abstract
Since the turn of the century, the restructuring of labor markets has intensified, and pathways between education and employment have become more complex. Rather than completing a linear transition between full-time education and full-time employment, young people are now more likely to experience protracted, non-linear transitions as they undertake various forms of both study and employment. Due to the emergence of the gig economy and the scarcity of opportunities for full-time employment, young people face lengthy delays in securing economic independence from their parents. This chapter provides an overview of how young people across the Asia-Pacific region negotiated the transition between education and employment during the twenty-first century.
