Explain the five lines of (seemingly conflicting) arguments that have been made by decades of research on adolescent employment, and attempt to integrate them into an overall conclusion about the impact of employment on school grades and other outcomes.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Working long work hours (20 or more a week) imposes risks on adolescents.
2. There is a lack of risks for adolescents if work hours are limited to 15 hours or less a week.
3. Preexisting differences among adolescents in part may worsen the negative effects of working long hours.
4. The effects of long work hours may depend on gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. For example, low-income, minority-group members who take on a job as part of an effort to save for the future have fewer negative influences of working on their school grades and other outcome variables.
5. Characteristics of the jobs themselves affect the positive and negative aspects of adolescent employment.
