| A new report into Australia's education system has claimed Australian youth are taking almost five years to find full-time work after finishing their education, while up to 70 percent of young people are studying in pursuit of jobs that may not exist in the near future.
The Foundation for Young Australians released their annual report card 'How Young People are Faring in the Transition from School to Work' on Tuesday, sharing some startling data on how our education system is preparing students for life in a rapidly-shifting workplace affected by technological disruption, industrial reform and automation.
The report stated young people are slogging through an average of 4.7 years between finishing full time education and finding full time employment, and just 65 percent of university graduates managed to gain full time work within four months of graduating, down from 84 percent in 2008.
