Youth Unemployment in St. Lucia, the West Indies: Perceptions and Expectations on Education and Work

This five-chapter case study compares and contrasts the views of two dominant actor groups, policymakers and employers, and of two subordinate actor groups, teachers and students, in Castries, St. Lucia, 1982. It begins with a theoretical examination of the relationship between education and employment where the status conflict perspective is brought to bear on the St. Lucian educational context to the end of discovering to what extent a society's views on education and jobs contribute to a better understanding of the problem of youth unemployment.
