Resource summary
Globalisation and the decline of traditional men’s jobs
External factor
Generalises all boys
Decline largely in working-class jobs
These jobs require few if any qualifications
Unlikely that the disappearance of such jobs would have such impact on boys motivation to obtain qualifications
Stereotypes all boys as the same
Since the 1980s there has been a significant decline in heavy industries (eg shipbuilding, mining, etc)
This is partly the result of the globalisation of the economy
Traditionally these sectors mainly employed men
Mitsos and Browne claim that this decline in male employment opportunities has lead to an ‘identity crisis for men ‘
Many boys now have little prospect of getting a ‘proper’ job
Undermines their motivation and self-esteem, so they give up on trying to get qualifications
