Those growing up in stressed socio-economic circumstances, rural Australia, Indigenous communities and young women not in education are particularly susceptible. More than 330,000 of the young Australians not engaged full-time in learning or work are female; the difference between the sexes is markedly higher than in previous years. ER -
