1.0 Introduction
1.1 BACKGROUND
This report aims to provide valid solutions to the answer of a wicked problem ‘how to kickstart a
sustainable enterprising lifestyle for underemployment youth’. It is reported that nearly one-third of
Australian youth are unemployed or underemployed hitting the highest point in 40 years (Brotherhood of
St Laurence 2017). It is more needed than ever to establish a sustainable enterprising lifestyle to adjust
the relationship between the supply and need of human resources, especially for young generations.
Under this circumstance, this report provides a basic solution to solve the underemployment of Australian
refugee youth.
According to Centre for Multicultural Youth (2014), there were over 11,000 young people settled in
Australia between 2007 to 2011 under Humanitarian program. In addition, over half of new arrivals were
aged fewer than 25 in the 2010-2011 financial year and 34% of humanitarian entrants have six or fewer
years of education. Many have an educational background that is interrupted, inadequate or that has little
resemblance to the Victorian education system. (DIAC Settlement Database) The refugee experience is
by definition traumatic and characterized by persecution, displacement, loss, grief, and forced separation
from family, home and belongings.
This displacement has a profound impact on the individual, family and community. Those who are unable
to return home often spend many years in a country of first asylum. For some young people, the majority
of their lives have been spent in transition countries and this profoundly impacts their identity and
settlement experience in Australia. For example, in 2009-10, 33% of refugees assisted through the
Humanitarian Settlement Services (HSS) in Australia stated that they had spent more than 2 years in a
refugee camp, 19% had spent more than 7 years in a camp, and 11% had spent 12 years or more in a
camp. Growing numbers of humanitarian youth arrivals have spent time in Australian Immigration
Detention Centers or in Community Detention.
Among all challenges faced by disenfranchise youth in Australia, underemployment has a lot of side
effect threating the living of refugee youth and their families. New arrivals from refugee backgrounds are
