Market Research –Youth Survey

1. What is your age? 17

2. Do you currently have any kind of job? If so, what? No

3. If not, are you actively looking for any kind of work? If so, what medium are you searching through (newspapers etc)? Yes, Company Websites, Job Finder Websites (e.g. Seek)

4. Have you ever tried searching for youth jobs on website such as Seek.com.au? If so, how did it go? Youth Jobs? Assuming <18 jobs, no i haven't.


5. Do you know:
• Your rights as an employee (either casual or part-time):
No

No, but i got one in year 10 (School did it for us)


• How to set up a bank account:
Yes


6. If there was a site completely dedicated to youth casual jobs, listing job possibilities in your area, would you use it?
If was <18, yes i would.

7. Do you have any concerns with youth searching for jobs on a website?
No, it is an excellent medium for businesses to advertise jobs.

8. Do you think businesses would primarily use this as a source of cheap labour?
I'd think so, minimum wage = more cash for businesses, that's the way i see it.

9. What is your opinion on businesses taking advantage of youth labour? kids have a choice if they want to work at that business or not, so i honestly don't mind as long as they're [the kids] happy.

Market Research –Youth Survey

1. What is your age? 17

2. Do you currently have any kind of job? If so, what? Yes, customer service, food preparation

3. If not, are you actively looking for any kind of work? If so, what medium are you searching through (newspapers etc)?
N/A

4. Have you ever tried searching for youth jobs on website such as Seek.com.au? If so, how did it go?
No


5. Do you know:
• Your rights as an employee (either casual or part-time):
Yes


• How to get a tax file number:
YEs


• How to set up a bank account:
Yes


6. If there was a site completely dedicated to youth casual jobs, listing job possibilities in your area, would you use it?
Yes

7. Do you have any concerns with youth searching for jobs on a website?
No, it's cheap and much more likely to reach a larger portion of youth seeking work.

8. Do you think businesses would primarily use this as a source of cheap labour?
Definately. Most casual youth employees aren't payed for their skills, but time. At my work a non-supervisor is referred to as a 'body'.

9. What is your opinion on businesses taking advantage of youth labour?
The current structure of businesses, especially big ones such as Colse-Myer, means that the company's main goal is to keep its share-price up and youth labour is an excellent way of cutting costs (even if it does cost quality sometimes too)

10. Do you feel that this has ever happened to you? If so, please provide some information on the incident.
Yup, no employees receive award wages on Sundays or public holidays anymore and supervisors now get payed the same as 'bodies'. Très crap.
