Full Description
What are the problems that concern young people today? How do young people cope? Originally published in 2000, this book presents the findings of a team of international researchers, including both social scientists and practitioners, who had surveyed more than 5,000 youth in twelve countries in order to find answers to these vital questions.
The book is arranged into five key sections: Part I outlines the innovative research methods and theories underpinning the study, including the central 'intervention research paradigm'. Part II offers a composite portrait of concerns and coping strategies across the survey, examining trends by socio-economic status and gender. Part III provides detailed case-studies from Brazil, Canada, China, England, Greece, India, Israel, Japan, Russia, the USA and Venezuela. Part IV examines special youth populations, both immigrant and impoverished. Part V draws conclusions and implications for theory and practice, and offers a basis from which helping professionals can develop successful interventions and practices.
Youth and Coping in Twelve Nations is an innovative work of cross-cultural research that offers a wealth of empirical research material, as well as important new conclusions and recommendations for practice. It will still be of vital interest to all sociologists and social psychologists, as well as youth and social work professionals.
