RC34 Sociology of Youth (host committee)

Language: English

This session focuses on the relationship between young people’s agency and social change. Youth participation and prolonged transition to adulthood can be approached in the light of political, economic and cultural transformations in contemporary societies.  The aim is to open discussion on how young lives are shaped by both local and global circumstances in different parts of the world.

Papers in this session discuss how young people are influenced by different factors such as international migration as well as the young people's own meaning making of their cultural and social agency.
