Abstract:

Different countries have encountered the problem of increasing young people dropping out of schools. Causes relating to family, school and peers have been suggested in many studies. However, the levels of influence from these different social systems on the phenomenon, which bear intervention implications, are seldom explored. This qualitative study has found that family, school and peers have respectively exerted distal, predisposing and immediate effects on the phenomenon of young school dropouts. Based on the findings, works in different systems are recommended so that the problem of young school dropouts can be greatly reduced.
