Drawing on empirical evidence and current theoretical perspectives, the text examines cutting-edge issues confronting youth, youth researchers, and policy makers today such as youth and social change; class inequality; gender and sexuality; education; youth employment; social identity; youth and technology; and health and well-being. Seamlessly integrating Canadian data and examples throughout with fully redesigned chapters that address topics such as Aboriginal youth and youth justice, the text offers a Canadian context while maintaining a global perspective. Current and in-depth, the Canadian edition is a compelling exploration of the role of young people in contemporary society and how they adapt to the many challenges related to growing inequality and rapid social change.
