Looking at research from the past ten years this book explores how the social and economic changes have affected western youths lives, attitudes and experiances across the board including that of education.
Using data from the UK, AUS, US and CAN from research into policy and practice and how this relates to the vunerable age group of 15-25 years.
Going on to discuss and explain how and why there is such a great need to continually develop more research into the policy and practice frameworks for working with this disaffected age group.
A book which challenges those who work with all young people in the vital years between the age of 15 and 25 when so many changes take place and so much expectation is put on them.
Insightful, encourage and challenging this book should prove a need for more understanding empathy and research to encourage young people through this important stage.
