Youth Wellbeing and Changes of Social Institutions

This panel invites studies that explore the impacts of social institutions on the wellbeing of youths. Studies on changes in family, education, or occupational systems and their impacts on the wellbeing of youths are especially welcomed. We also seek studies that address the relationships between changes in social institutions and youth wellbeing with either theoretical or methodological meanings. Studies focus on the transformation of modern society and its impact on youth wellbeing are also welcomed. Example questions are: How does the rise of digital society influence the wellbeing of the “digital natives”? How does the digital society influence youth wellbeing via the changes in family, education, or occupational systems? We expect both qualitative and quantitative studies presented in this panel.
