Research Questions: What are the primary factors contributing to high turnover rates among millennial and Gen Z social workers in LA County, and how do we implement effective strategies?”
This study aims to identify key factors contributing to high turnover rates among millennials and incoming new generations in social work positions in LA County.
the summary of 2 extremely relevant sources, that answer the research question so directly (the best of the best of your found sources)- you will not cite these sources in the literature review, you keep them for the findings chapter. This chapter should not be more than 400 words long. (no section headers dividing up the text, this is 1-p and is straight- to the point. Find the best available evidence on the question and insert it here. If your answer is only partial, consider digging deeper into government websites, research institutes, and peer-reviewed data repositories. You must come up with the answer (however imperfect) to the question.
The policy implications chapter is where you highlight the meaning of the findings for practitioners and policymakers. Given what you wrote, what concrete policy action should be taken? Interpret your results. Popularize them. Take it a step closer to the policy making process and spell out the policy alternatives that derive from your analysis.
The Limitations and further research recommendations will highlight weaknesses of your methodological approach (namely that you were restricted in the data available, that you could/ and did not conduct primary research) and propose alternative methods to investigate the question (for instance, a quantitative analysis using surveys, interviews- but be precise here – who what where when – how). Propose also a few lines of inquiry either based off the gaps found in the research or the findings (new knowledge means new questions must be asked)
The conclusion will provide an overview of the project’s goals, methods and findings, and open up the discussion to broader questions in the field, broader implications of this line of work in policy or administration sciences. The conclusion should present key takeaways and present reflections (food for thoughts, so to speak) for the reader.
