Special Issue on Youth Studies

Youth Studies focuses on understanding and exploring the diverse experiences, challenges, and opportunities that young people encounter during their transition from adolescence to adulthood. It encompasses the study of various aspects of youth development. Youth Studies aims to inform policies and interventions that promote positive youth development and well-being, while recognizing the unique perspectives and agency of young people in shaping their own lives and the society they inhabit.
