This is a call for papers for the ESA Research Network Youth and Generation MidTerm Conference "Youth in crisis? Linking research, policy and practice", hold in Manresa (near Barcelona), Spain, September 20th-23rd 2012.
The current economic and financial crisis has had a double impact on young people: firstly, they have absorbed a significant part of the unemployment and the worsening of labour market conditions. Secondly, there is emerging evidence that social expenditure cuts are impacting badly on young people in particular. This weakening of the welfare system in a period of labour market crisis leaves young people unprotected and more dependent on the family resources, which may lead to increased social inequalities.
In this context it is essential to improve the efficiency of the policies aimed at young people. A certain lack of knowledge transfer in the youth field has been detected at a European level and some projects have been launched. The 4th Youth and Generation MidTerm Conference stands as an opportunity to have an in depth debate on recent youth research and on the means to improve knowledge transfer in the youth field.
Call for papers deadline:
Participants interested in giving a paper are invited, in the first instance, to submit abstracts to Tracy Shildrick (t.a.shildrick@tees.ac.uk) and Pau Serracant (pserracant@gencat.cat) by 12th March 2012.
