Description
Children, Youth and Development explores how global processes shape the lives of young people in poorer regions of the world. It examines the interactions between development policies, economic and cultural globalization, and international agreements with local practices to understand the impact on young people's lives.
The book introduces different theoretical approaches to studying children and youth, exploring how these have influenced how majority world children are viewed and treated by international agencies. It considers contexts such as family relationships, peer groups, health, education, work, and environmental change, alongside debates about children's rights and participation in development projects.
With accessible language and features like boxed case studies, summaries of key ideas, discussion questions, and guides to further resources, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues affecting young people worldwide.
