A spare time job can mean that your teenager does better in school

Spare time jobs and schooling – can they be connected?
Research indicates that young people with a spare time job often do well in education and later in the labour market. For example, young people with experience from spare time jobs have a stronger connection to the labour market as adults, and a spare time job can help strengthen motivation and plans for the future.

When young people are given responsibility, earn their own money and feel that they are contributing, it can increase their sense of belonging and mastery – outside of school.
