▼ Development outcomes are poor for young people in the Pacific and show little hope of improving without a concerted, collaborative effort. This research seeks to explore the concept and practice of
youth mainstreaming (YM) and the challenges and opportunities for it in New Zealand-based development agencies as a means to achieve these better outcomes. Currently there is little scholarly literature about YM, particularly in the Pacific.
This research employs a mixed methods methodology comprising four methods: a literature review, interviews with regional stakeholders based in the Pacific, an exploratory multi-case study of three New Zealand (NZ) development agencies and a questionnaire.
The findings suggest that while
youth are accounted for in the work of many NZ development agencies working in the Pacific, mainstreaming of
youth perspectives is limited, often to
youth-specific projects. Challenges to YM include a lack of staff knowledge and skills in YM, a lack of knowledge about
youth development and limited resources. However, despite these challenges, there is willingness among New Zealand development agencies to learn about
youth development and cooperate with each other. This is likely driven by the fact that
youth development fits with a number of mandates, be they rights-based, community-based or focused on economic growth.
This thesis provides some recommendations to NZ development agencies about how to mainstream
youth in their operations. Ultimately, the aim of this thesis is to develop industry knowledge and dialogue about
youth development in the Pacific and encourage greater inclusion of
youth in development initiatives in the region.

DOES THE WEB CREATE A PATHWAY TO POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE? AN EXAMINATION INTO THE EFFECTS OF ELECTORAL WEBSITES

▼ This paper seeks to examine the impact of electoral
websites on young people’s electoral engagement, focusing on the
2012 London Mayoral and US Presidential election. It does so by
employing an innovative research design to connect the supply and
demand side of the equation, including quantitative content
analysis and an innovative experiment that allows for qualitative
evaluation as well as for an examination of the causal effects of
exposure to specific websites. The three specific types of websites
examined in each election are:
youth mobilization websites, the
official candidate campaigning websites and Vote Advice
Applications. We explore the effects of these websites on
behavioural, cognitive and attitudinal aspects of engagement:
likelihood of voting, attention to news, internal and external
efficacy and political trust. Research to date on the effect of
electoral websites on young people has produced mixed results on
political engagement and efficacy (e.g. Tedesco, 2007; Xenos and
Kyoung, 2008). We find no direct effect on young people for voting
across the websites but we do find a number of significant effects
across the other variables, which are occasionally found only
amongst those with the lowest pre-existing levels of engagement.
This leads us to conclude that the web can create a pathway to
participation for young people but this is dependent on the
specific type and attributes of the website, the election context
and the young person themselves.

▼ Youth-adult partnerships are collaborations between adults and
youth in the
decision-making and planning processes. When adults enable
youth to be a part of the
decision-making and planning processes,
youth voice, empowerment, and
participation
become important tools for facilitating engagement. Better understanding these processes
can be beneficial for practitioners and programmers. Incorporating these tools increases
support and opportunity for
youth developmental benefits and increases program retention
rates.
This thesis focuses on better understanding the relationship between
youth voice,
empowerment, and
participation and critical factors in developing
youth engagement and
utilizing the power of adult-
youth partnerships in
youth development. A preliminary
model of Systematic Degree of Engagement specifying the relationship between
youth
voice, empowerment, and
participation has been developed and discussed.
One of the key issues in developing the model has been that existing literature has
rarely made distinctions between voice, empowerment, and
participation. The terms have
been used interchangeably and, when distinctions have been made, overlaps between the terms have not been fully explored. Therefore, this thesis built on existing literature by
defining distinctions among these constructs. After distinctions between concepts were
made a model was derived: Systematic Degree of Engagement.
From this research, program designers are able to develop programs and assess
existing programs that foster
youth engagement. Researchers benefit from this thesis in
understanding the distinctions in voice, empowerment,
participation, and engagement. The
findings of this thesis are the distinctions in terminology of voice, empowerment,
participation, and engagement; as well as, a model illustrating these terms independence
and inter-relatedness.

▼ Empowerment is important for the development of adolescents. There are several
participation programs that aim to empower their participants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on empowerment that Ashoka’s
Youth Venture program has on its participants. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants of the program (N =36) were asked to fill out a questionnaire about empowerment during one of Ashoka’s events. The adolescents indicated that they feel more empowered by taking part in the program, especially by having a coach and working in group. The qualitative data was gathered through four individual interviews with the coaches of the program and one group interview with three coaches. Findings indicate that the main thing participants learned is that they have the ability to make a change in their environment. In addition, important influential elements of the program on the empowerment of the adolescents are demonstrated.

▼ Den Ausgangspunkt für die vorliegenden Ausführungen stellt der Blick auf gegenwärtige und zukünftige gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen im gelebten Miteinander dar. Von Seiten der Öffentlichen Theologie wird der Anspruch erhoben einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Bewältigung gesellschaftlicher Problemstellungen liefern zu können. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte diesen teilweise eher theoretisch erhobenen Anspruch in Verbindung mit einem praktisch umgesetzten Projekt beleuchten und dabei der Frage nachgehen, wie den bestehenden Herausforderungen begegnet werden kann. Dabei geht es explizit, um partizipative Strukturen und deren Förderung. Partizipation gilt als entscheidendes Element für ein funktionierendes, gesellschaftliches Miteinander. Partizipationsförderung mit Blick auf Jugendliche beinhaltet dabei ein aktivierendes, ein förderndes und ein zuwendendes Element. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Zugangswege
Jugendliche zu partizipativem Engagement nehmen, wie diese ausgestaltet und erlebt werden und wie es verstärkt oder gefördert werden kann. Von der Beantwortung dieser Fragen werden konkrete Handlungsoptionen für das Forschungsprojekt STC-Bremen abgeleitet und darüber hinaus verallgemeinerbare Interpretationen geliefert, welche anderen konkreten Handlungsfelder bei der Weiterentwicklung helfen sollen.; The basis for the work at hand is a look at current and future societal challenges in living together in communities. Public Theology claims to offer an important contribution as far as the overcoming of societal issues is concerned. The aim of this research is to shed light on this theoretical claim by relating it to a practically applied project while asking the question how the existing challenges can be dealt with. It is explicitly about participatory structures and their advancement.
Participation is considered a key element for functioning communities in society. The advancement
of
participation for young people contains an element of activation, support and care. This research investigates which access paths the young people chose for their participatory engagement, how these are designed and experienced, and finally, how these paths can be strengthened and developed. The response to these questions resulted in concrete courses of action for the research project STC-Bremen, and furthermore, in generalized interpretations which can aid the development of other fields of action.

▼ This study focuses on exploring the personal perspectives and understanding of
youth engagement within the Canadian context according to
youth engagement researchers, practitioners and funders. This study applied a qualitative research strategy and employed phenomenological methods of interviews and focus groups. This study seeks to highlight the key characteristics and trends from the participant’s perspective within the Canadian
youth engagement landscape. Building on the tenants of Transformational Learning Theory and the historical understandings of
youth engagement, this study explores how
youth engagement is both conceptualized and perceived across three key sectors: researchers, practitioners and funders. Finally, reflecting on the key characteristics identified by the participants this study also discusses the further understanding of the complexity of
youth-adult partnerships, the civic role of young people and the potential of developing a collective and shared understanding of
youth engagement by practitioners, funders and researchers.

▼ Contemporary democracies are faced with the mounting challenge of non-
participation of citizens in the politics of the state. In most cases the reasons for non-
participation primarily stem from the state’s incapacity to create sufficient platforms to encourage the meaningful
participation of the citizens in policy making.
In developing countries this trend has been more conspicuous amongst young people. This is largely due to the fact that the global trend of the ‘
youth bulge’ is more prominent in developing countries. But it should be noted that the need for the
participation of young people in the politics of state is even more critical in developing countries; and this is so because if the trend of the
youth bulge continues, the
youth will in time, constitute the majority of the population in most of these countries. The main argument of this dissertation is that the inclusion of the
youth in political decision making is vital in creating a sense of belonging in the state. The most unfortunate consequence of the
youth feeling alienated from the state is that the
youth is often lured into participating in violent activities against the state. These include, among many, terrorism and violent protest against the state.
In South Africa where
youth voter turnout has been declining and where the
youth are often involved in violent protest, the successful inclusion of the
youth in decision making should be a state priority. Notably, the state has since 1994 passed various legislations which attempt to empower and include the
youth. This dissertation is a qualitative study of this legislation. The main aim is to assess whether the legislation has achieved its goal of empowering and including the
youth in state affairs. Utilizing Hart’s Ladder of
Participation as a framework, the study further assesses to what extent has the legislation been able to offer the South African youths genuine opportunities to participate in the politics of the country.

▼ In an age where technology is advancing rapidly, young people are often the technology "natives" who understand and utilize its capabilities better than any other group in our society. Along with changing interaction models,
youth are learning to "socialize" differently than any other generation has, absent face-to-face contact via digital interface. These types of connections are affecting America's political and social landscape by changing the way
youth are orientated into our culture. Many adults complain about the "distractions" of texting, Facebook, and computer games. Yet, these "distractions" might also be a means to engage young people in civic life. Current research shows the power of these technologies to encourage and foster civic activity outside the traditional venues of schools and civic associations. Technology is also being explored in the classroom for its impact on student interest and performance, both academically and civically. Thus, incorporation of technologies into the classroom may be part of the answer to the declining
youth participation in our democracy. This study examines the relationship between in-class use of digital media and measures of civic and political engagement. It utilizes logistic regression to interpret data from an assessment given to the 2008 graduating class at Central City High School (pseudonym). Analysis of this data shows that digital media use in the classroom has a positive effect on overall political knowledge, but leaves questions about its ability to affect students' civic capacity or civic commitment.

▼ The aim of this study was to examine young people’s experiences of participation within the intervention Contact Person. Three questions were asked concerning young people’s experience of participation, aspects that promoted/limited the young people’s experience and the significance they attached to the intervention. The findings in this study are based on phenomenological interviews with five teenagers within the intervention Contact Person. The results were analyzed by using Hart’s Ladder of participation and Habermas’ perspective of life world and system. The main findings of this study suggest that a good relationship with their contact person is essential for the teenagers’ experience of participation whereas a bad relationship limits their experience. The relationship can be seen as a prerequisite for participation. Ingredients deemed important in relationships promoting participation were for instance trust, honesty and involvement. The intervention seemed to promote psychological processes and behavioral patterns. The theoretical analysis showed that all the participants, except one, had experiences of the highest rung on Hart’s Ladder of participation. The participants experienced high levels of participation when communication was based on a communicative rationality corresponding to their life world perspective. Conversely, the participants experienced low participation when confronted with the system and its instrumental rationality.

▼ This thesis is an article-based PhD. Against the backdrop of the almost universal acceptance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the scholarly works comprising the ânew social studies of childhoodâ, the thesis reflects on a core ethical dilemma facing social scientists today. It explores how researchers can navigate the dichotomy between protecting children and young people from harm and respecting their competence and autonomy as individual beings to participate in research of relevance to their lives. The study is exploratory in nature, utilising primarily reflective strategies of inquiry to: reflect on
participation and protection discourses and their influence on children and young peopleâs involvement in research; examine a researcherâs ethical duties and rights-based responsibilities; and explore solution focused strategies to support researchers to navigate the balance between protection and
participation.
The main body of the thesis comprises three publications. The first publication, referred to as paper one, reflects on a qualitative study with young carers in the Irish population. The paper reflects on the
participation and protection discourses at play when seeking to access a representative sample of young carers. The success and limitations of the approaches adopted when obtaining parental consent and imposing limits on confidentiality are evaluated. The second publication, referred to as paper two, provides a more in-depth understanding of a researcherâs ethical duty to obtain parental consent. Drawing on the literature and a critical review of ethical frameworks, it explores how researchers can negotiate this ethical standard in the interests of involving young people in research when parental consent is not feasible or appropriate due to the nature of the study or the young participants involved. The third publication, referred to as paper three, argues that central to achieving a balance between
participation and protection is the researcherâs ethical duty to conduct a rigorous and balanced assessment of harm and benefit. Reflecting on the authorâs experience of conducting an assessment of harm and benefit, during the course of a baseline study on children and young peopleâs
participation in social care services and a
youth-led research project on mental health awareness, the paper presents a strategy for conducting such an assessment. The thesis concludes by integrating the learning across the three publications. It distils key messages for ethical oversight bodies and the research and academic community.

▼ The main focus of this research was exploring motivational and hindering factors for
youth participation in structured
youth development programs that are designed to fight poverty and HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia. This research design is a quantitative cross-sectional design that integrates three important scales in the field of
youth development. The response from program staff and
youth indicated that both groups have a more positive perception of their program commitment to the key principles of
youth development with the exception that the scores of
youth were slightly lower than the scores of program staff. The finding from program commitment to
youth participation however indicated that the scores of
youth to be lower by one level in a five level scale. The findings from the
youth survey indicate that the major factor of
youth motivation for program
participation is related to meeting personal goals. When analyzed in the context of other variables, only years of schooling and program commitment to key principles of
youth development were significantly related with
youth motivation for
participation in current program activities. The findings suggest that program staff need to redesign their program in a way that both risk and protective factors are integrated for a more positive program outcome on the lives of urban
youth in Ethiopia. Moreover, programs need to conduct periodical self evaluation and design mechanisms to increase
youth participation and make sure that youths participate to the level of
youth sharing power and responsibilities for decision making throughout
youth development program activities. These research findings should inform policy makers to help create a collaborative environment between adult and young people, and between governmental and non-governmental programs, as the main focus area of improvement. Another focus area that this research should inform is the importance of designing mechanisms to enhance family involvement into
youth development programs. Moreover, the results of this research should encourage social work educators to incorporate
youth issues in the social work curriculum, and show the need to conduct continued research to explore the perception of youths on
participation in program activities in Ethiopia as well as world-wide.

▼ This research uses a novel policy writing method to explore young people’s subjective understandings of the problems of poverty. Working with five groups of young people, aged 11 – 21, from some of the most financially deprived areas of England, it sought to draw out and explore their “policy imaginary”, or the way they viewed the problems of poverty through a lens of ideal policy responses. It unpacks these young people’s policy imaginaries, and the life-narratives they discussed alongside these imaginaries, within a discourse of individualisation. Across four articles, it demonstrates and explores the complexities and ambiguities of these young people’s thinkings. This thesis begins by suggesting that many of the problems of poverty they identify as important to their lives are structural, and that they understanding the role of collective and political agency, rather than their own individual agency, in ending poverty. It then more specifically explores their understandings of their neighbourhoods and houses, which suggests that individualised factors often identified in other research, such as social contagion and epidemic neighbourhood effects, are not what they identify as most important in their local areas. It concludes by identifying a policy gap emerging along similar theoretical lines. Here, this research suggests that much of the policy directed towards these young people focuses on individualised problems, and their individual agency as a route of out poverty, but that this sort of policy response is not what these young people felt was needed. However, this is not to suggest that these young people downplayed or dismissed their own agency in charting their life-pathways. Indeed, as much previous literature has found, these young people spoke fluently about the agency and opportunities they have in their lives, often seeming ‘hyper-agentic’. However, this thesis suggests that exploring these young people’s policy imaginary appears to create a medium through which they can talk both about their agency and the constraints and limitations low-incomes generate. It allowed them to bridge their highly agentic biographies to their socially structured histories, as they saw them.

▼ The role of the museum throughout its history has been to serve its community, through the education and entertainment of the public (Starn, 2005; Skramstad, 1999). An institution, where education intersects with entertainment, creates a space where people are drawn together and in which community flourishes (Association of Children???s Museums 2005; Gates 2003, Kreps 2009). The museum builds community by strengthening relationships through shared experience and interests. Many museums identify community-building as a goal in their mission statements. Unfortunately, some organizations fall short of that mission because they fail to effectively reflect and respond to their communities. With each exhibit installment and program design, with every newly developing museum organization, museums have the opportunity to share the power of decision-making with their audience, young or old. Some museum organizations have trouble relinquishing their ???expert authority??? while others fail at their feeble attempts of token public
participation.
Successful integration of the public does occur when museum leaders are diligent in their efforts and willing to commit to public
participation at the institutional level. Participatory planning provides stakeholders, including community members, with a voice in the changes that will affect them, making the planning and design process a collaborative, grassroots production. With this method, the public is no longer just the audience, but an active participant in the museum design.
For children???s museums, the child is the targeted visitor and the
participation of children should be sought after. Enlisting children to participate holds real value, but that value is often overlooked. Children who are given the opportunity to participate and have their voice heard will more likely continue to seek out other opportunities to contribute to their community in meaningful ways. When today???s
youth are encouraged to contribute to society, it fosters a culture of civic-mindedness, leading to a more engaged community tomorrow.
This project identifies strategies for successfully enacting participatory planning in the context of museum development, highlighting the voice of the child in children???s museums. This was accomplished using multiple methods including key-informant interviews and participant observation. Content analysis of interviews was used to identify patterns of methods used by museums to successfully integrate the voice and actions of the surrounding and visiting community into a development project. Results and conclusions were synthesized into a best practices guide, which may serve as a reference for leaders in museum organizations. The guide???s purpose is to outline strategies to effectively incorporate communities into the planning and development process of a new museum project, such as an exhibit, a renovated museum component, or an entirely new museum building. By creating and distributing an easy-to-use guide which demonstrates past…

▼ This paper seeks to examine the impact of electoral websites on young people’s electoral engagement, focusing on the 2012 London Mayoral and US Presidential election. It does so by employing an innovative research design to connect the supply and demand side of the equation, including quantitative content analysis and an innovative experiment that allows for qualitative evaluation as well as for an examination of the causal effects of exposure to specific websites. The three specific types of websites examined in each election are: youth mobilization websites, the official candidate campaigning websites and Vote Advice Applications. We explore the effects of these websites on behavioural, cognitive and attitudinal aspects of engagement: likelihood of voting, attention to news, internal and external efficacy and political trust. Research to date on the effect of electoral websites on young people has produced mixed results on political engagement and efficacy (e.g. Tedesco, 2007; Xenos and Kyoung, 2008). We find no direct effect on young people for voting across the websites but we do find a number of significant effects across the other variables, which are occasionally found only amongst those with the lowest pre-existing levels of engagement. This leads us to conclude that the web can create a pathway to participation for young people but this is dependent on the specific type and attributes of the website, the election context and the young person themselves.

▼ In 2017 the Ontario government moved forward with new child welfare legislation, Bill 89, spelling out that the 47 Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario will be much more ‘child-centric’. I explore the historical context of the ‘child-centric’ language and commitments in the new Act, including tracing its origin by the Act’s incorporation of the Katelynn Principle and Article 12 of the 1989 United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child.
How best to consult youth in-care is an essential, but a mostly unanswered question. Children Aid Societies across the province have a unique opportunity to implement alternative methods in engaging young people in consultation, should they pan out as viable and reliable strategies when consulting youth in-care. Tradition interview approaches are not always the best strategies when engaging youth. Visual research methods, such as photo-elicitation, have the potential of offering useful insights into children’s perspectives and experiences.
The focus of my thesis is youth voice. I explore this topic through a study with young people in-care involved in a music group. I used focus groups and photo-elicitation as methods for data collection. An important question addressed by my thesis is whether a visual research method, such as photo-elicitation, helps in the consultation process with young people and whether some of the claims made about the approach are accurate when working with youth. Specifically, I explored claims made about photo-elicitation helping with increasing 'emotional type talk' and inquired into how the method may enhance the consultation process with young people. I consider these questions in the context of important epistemological and theoretical debates about arts-informed and visual research methodologies.
Five youth who had involvement of being in-care and were a part of a music group at a local Children’s Aid Society participated in my study. My study found that the youth overall felt consulted and did feel a degree of influence in shared decision making with being in-care. My study also showed that although photo-elicitation did not generate more ‘emotional-type talk’, it does appear to enhance self-confidence, which seemed to support meaningful participation in the interview process. Although much more needs to be explored with the application of visual research methods, and social science researchers should be cautious in making exaggerated claims in support of the approaches, youth in-care can surely benefit from visual research methods such as photo-elicitation.

▼ O presente estudo investigou, nos anos de 2007 a 2009, como dezoito jovens do projeto social Núcleo de Jovens Protagonistas da Organização Não-Governamental SOS adolescente da cidade de Campinas/SP compreendem a participação social e as ações protagônicas nos múltiplos espaços em que estão inseridos(as), tendo como foco os processos educativos que vivenciam, utilizando-se de metodologia participativa de pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de uma abordagem crítico-dialética. A modalidade de ação educativa denominada Protagonismo Juvenil emergiu de forma sistematizada no final da década de 90 no país buscando subverter a tematização da juventude como problema social. Diante das observações sobre a prática educativa do referido projeto social e de estudos que apontam uma atuação política das juventudes a favor do consenso e de intervenções mais pontuais, tornou-se relevante investigar a problemática na perspectiva dos(as) próprios(as) jovens denominados(as) protagonistas. A análise ancorou-se em referencial teórico-metodológico que, para além da crítica, qualifica os saberes e formas de resistência de sujeitos ou grupos populares, pesquisando e compreendendo a realidade com eles, lançando mão da convivência e do diálogo como procedimentos fundamentais de investigação. Considerando a dialeticidade da realidade social, carregada de contradições, assim como do contexto institucional de que participam, os resultados apresentados por meio de dois eixos temáticos: passar o que se aprende e fazer parte e tomar parte apontam para ambigüidades ou incoerências entre discursos e ações dos(as) jovens, perpassando seus modos de compreensão do objeto de estudo. Estes modos relacionam-se com aprender e ensinar, com papéis e compromissos educativos que assumem consigo próprios(as) e com outros(as) jovens que convivem ou nos múltiplos espaços de inserção social onde a consciência crítica e ação transformadora são altamente relevantes porque estabelecem como utopia possível a mudança do mundo pautada em valores de solidariedade e justiça. Verificou-se ainda a ocorrência de diversos processos educativos de caráter humanizador que transcendem os limites da proposta do Protagonismo Juvenil, bem como uma perspectiva mais igualitária de relações de gênero.
This study has investigated, in the years 2007 to 2009, how eighteen young of social project Núcleo de Jovens Protagonistas of Non-Governmental Organization SOS adolescente from Campinas/SP city understand the social participation and the protagonists actions in the multiple spaces where they live, focusing on the educational processes that they experience, using a participatory methodology of qualitative research, through a critical-dialectical approach. The mode of educational action called Juvenile Protagonism, has emerged in a systematic way in the late 90 s in the country, seeking to subvert the youth thematization as a social problem. Given the comments about the educational practice of that project and social studies that demonstrate a political action of youths supporting the…

▼ The buzzword in recent development policy-making is PM&E. The notion is that; participatory
approaches have the appropriate remedy to curb the problem of exclusion. That notwithstanding,
the approach has become rhetoric in certain quarters rather than practical as admitted by some
scholars who hold the principle in high esteem. Inferences from the concept of empowerment as
put forward by Narayan (2005), might be the premise for rethinking the debate surrounding the
inclusion of beneficiaries in participatory monitoring and evaluation because of its undulation
positive effect on project outcomes. Over the past two decades, Ghana has initiated and
implemented a good number of national policies and strategies that are
youth-centered. The
majority of these
youth programmes are usually delineated in most public policies on thematic
areas such as employment, education, health, among many others. A total of 120 respondents
(project beneficiaries) were randomly selected for questionnaire administration, and 1 in-depth
interviewed was conducted for this study. Using a
Participation Perception Index (PPI), developed
to assess the
youth perception of the extent to which they were involved in the PM&E, the
following were ascertained. It was evident that the
youth were only made to actively participate in
the data collection (as respondents) process. Evidently, the primary objective of the implementing
agency was to secure the
youth (beneficiaries) job rather than involving them in the project PM&E.
The qualitative analysis also highlighted other critical factors affecting both the implementing
agency and the
youth (skills or know-how, cost, lack of beneficiaries' interest, non-existence of
beneficiaries' associations) to ensure active
participation. The study concluded that the end goal
of the
youth intervention programme is tied into the ideas of project sustainability which can be
achieved when the various stakeholders are all on board in the PM&E.

Ungdomars deltagande i samhällsplaneringen : Dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier för att öka ungdomars involvering i Ockelbo kommun.

▼ Ungdomar har rätt att delta och påverka beslut som berör deras omgivning och vardag. Det finns ett stort intresse bland många av de svenska kommunerna att involvera ungdomar i samhällsplaneringen, trots detta är de underrepresenterade i kommuners planering. Det främsta problemet är att kommunerna inte vet vilka dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier de ska använda för att engagera och involvera ungdomarna. Studiens syfte är att hitta dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier som landsbygdskommuner och kommuner med gles landsbygd kan tillämpa i arbetet med ungdomsfrågor. Målet är att hitta dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier som får ungdomarna i Ockelbo kommun mer delaktiga i kommunens planering och utvecklingsarbete. De slutsatser och rekommendationer som detta examensarbete grundar sig på är en följd av flera olika dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier. Inledningsvis undersöktes hur Emmaboda- och Malung-Sälens kommun arbetar för att involvera fler ungdomar i planeringen. Därefter genomfördes en enkätundersökning vars syfte var att se hur intresset för att delta i kommunens planering såg ut bland Ockelbos ungdomar i åldrarna 13-15 år. Till sist utfördes tre fokusgrupper med Ockelbos högstadieelever, en för varje årskurs, för att diskutera hur de skulle kunna involveras och bli mer delaktiga i Ockelbo kommuns planering och utvecklingsarbete. De dialogmetoder och dialogstrategier som framgick av undersökningen på de två svenska kommunerna var att de arbetade mycket med att nå ut till ungdomarna i skolorna, på ungdomsgårdar samt genom ungdomsråd. Resultatet från enkätundersökningen visar att ungdomarna i Ockelbo kommun har ett intresse för att vara delaktiga i kommunens planering. I fokusgrupperna diskuterades viktiga komponenter, som till exempel återkoppling, till ett ökat ungdomsdeltagande i Ockelbo kommun. En slutsats är att det krävs tydligare riktlinjer för kommuners politiker, tjänstemän och ungdomar i arbetet med att öka ungdomars delaktighet i samhällsplaneringen. Det är viktigt att förklara när och hur ungdomarna ska vara delaktiga och hur politiker och tjänstemän ska hantera de inkomna förslagen från ungdomarna. En aktiv återkoppling har en betydande roll för att upprätthålla ungdomars engagemang och intresse.
Young people have the right to participate and influence decisions that affect their environment and everyday life. Despite this, young people are underrepresented in community planning although there is great interest among many of the Swedish municipalities to include them. The main problem is that the municipalities don't know which methods of dialogue and dialogue strategies they need to use to engage and involve young people. The study focuses on finding dialogue methods that smaller municipalities with limited resources can use. The aim is to find dialogue methods that will get young people in Ockelbo municipality more involved in community planning and development. To find viable solutions, the conclusions and recommendations of this thesis are based on several different methods and strategies of…

▼ Youth participation habits changes constantly. Efforts to keep up with new forms of political participation is seen in international organizations, national governments and the academic community. How do young people themselves regard their participation in these new forms? One alternative form of political participation is youth organizing. This study uses a multi-case research design by interviewing Kenyan and Swedish young people who have participated in one of two youth organizing programs, organized by the non-governmental organization Fryshuset. This study aimed to uncover what youth value with youth organizing as a participation form, what goals they have with their participation and how their self-organized initiatives reflect said goals, by applying theories on empowerment, delieration, agonistic pluralism and factors affecting political participation. What youth value with youth organizing is personal development, meeting new people and getting the opportunity to make a local impact. Furthermore the study found that the primary goal of their participation was to strengthen their local community. Finally the findings show how youth preferred deliberative means to achieve their goals.

▼ In March 2014, students and activists occupied Taiwan's parliament and so-called âSunflower Movementâ was sparked. After the movement, 9-in-1 election took place. A series of discussions about the possibility of
youth political
participation, which was led by the media, seems to become a fashion. This research refers the definition from
Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education, using 35-year-old as a threshold, defines chief of villages who are under 35 as
youth chiefs of villages. It discusses the status and challenges of
youth political
participation through interviews with
youth chiefs of villages (born after 1979) in Kaohsiung. This research is aiming at figuring out the problems and requirements for
youth participation in local political affairs.
ããThis research uses in-depth interview from qualitative research method, targeting 11 chiefs of villages. Their motivations shown in their campaigns can be further divided into four categories: personal motivation, enlightenment from social movement, family background, expectation from others. Through this research, we concluded that main obstacles and challenges faced by the
youth chiefs of villages are: lack of experience, lack of trust because of age stereotype, difference in concepts, pressures from social ties, low community
participation from the youths, relationship of beneficial hook becoming an obstacle and legal limitations.
ããAt the end of this research, practical suggestions are proposed. For the youths who do not have any political support or who resort to their visions, they have to take actions to realize their visions, that is, build up ties and experiences at the grassroots level so as to gain recognitions from the voters. Counting on party nomination alone or resorting to ideal visions is difficult to establish foundation at basic level.

▼ This dissertation considers the political behaviour of youth in Whitefish River First Nation. This small Ojibway community located near Sudbury, Ontario is used as a case study to inquire into the political experiences, attitudes and behaviour of youth. Rooted in Community-Based Research and Indigenous Research Principles, conversations were carried out in a circle-method referred to as Discussion Circles to assess the political behaviour of youth between the ages of 16 and 25. While this study is heavily qualitative-focused, it includes some quantitative components. These include a youth political participation questionnaire and electoral participation data for Whitefish River First nation in federal, provincial and band elections.
Results demonstrate that the youth have a unique experience of politics defined by their identities, community and relationships. Their political behaviour is complex and nuanced. While they may not participate in conventional political activities, they are heavily involved in activities that are rooted in their culture and traditions. The community overall is democratically healthy and tends to participate widely in federal and provincial elections. Youth are for the most part satisfied with their lives in the community, but there are significant challenges due to the consequences of colonialism. Many of these implications affect their political behaviour.

▼ Youth participation in environmental issues tends to be unquestionably accepted simply as something ‘good’. This research takes a step back to critically explore
youth participation in an Eco-Schools club in a girls’ high school in South Africa. The purpose is to understand the ways in which the girls’
participation in the club fits into their everyday lives as young students. The focus is on the students’ understandings of their
participation and how they make sense of it in relation to other aspects and areas of their lives. The findings suggest the concept of intersectionality can provide a useful framework to understand
participation, while ideas such as identity, spatiality and temporality can provide new insights into how and why young people participate in an environmental club.
Participation is explored not as an isolated category in young people’s lives, but rather in the context of their everyday happenings, in relation to the other aspects of what they do and who they are.

participation is revealed to be a complex phenomenon characterised by multiplicity and intersectionality – in the everyday process of the students participating in, and constructing the space(s) of, the Eco-Schools club, entanglements emerge amongst their multiple intersecting activities, multiple intersecting identities, and multiple intersecting temporalities.

▼ Economics
This dissertation consists of three chapters investigating labor market trends, specifically of young workers (ages 18-24). In the United States, young workers decreased their labor market participation by more than 8% from 1994-2014 and the first chapter of this research considers changing demographics and educational decisions to account for this decline. Using connected monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) data, an alternative definition of labor market attachment is considered, which accounts for attached, marginally attached, and not attached workers. Additionally, attending college is considered as a weak form of labor market participation. Accounting for demographic changes and varying levels of attachment by demographics, the decrease in the participation rate is decomposed into genuine and demographic changes. The finding is a genuine decrease of 1.5% young workers out of the labor force over the twenty year period studied. A calculation of the impact of college major choice on participation is estimated by extending the decomposition, as well as estimating a logit model on participation by college major. For males certain majors (Agriculture and English and Foreign Language) correlate with lower labor force attachment, while others (Engineering, Mathematics, and Visual and Performing Arts) correspond with higher attachment. For females, graduate degrees are the strongest indicator of attachment to the labor force and being married correlates with non-attachment to the labor force. The second chapter of this research investigates the movement of young workers between labor market statuses. Rather than consider the stocks and percentages of workers in each state (i.e. charting the unemployment or participation rate), this paper analyzes the flows between statuses. A contribution of this research is to consider how labor market flows are impacted by education decisions by including schooling as a labor market status. Additionally, this chapter estimates the impact that labor market movements by young workers have on fluctuations of their unemployment rate; flows between unemployment and not-in-the-labor-force, account for over forty percent of the variation in unemployment for young workers. As young workers decide whether to participate in the labor force or continue their education, they must decide whether to forgo ``on-the-job” training and experience or attend college to acquire human capital through formal education. Following the work of John Robst (2007), the third chapter of this research considers three questions: To what extent do college graduates work in fields unrelated to their most recent degree field? Which degree fields lead to greater mismatch? What is the relationship between working outside a degree field and wages? This research first provides updated answers to these questions using data from the 2013 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG). Additionally, this work includes new specifications of the wage penalty using parental education level, which was unavailable…

Youth Participation in Community Development: A Case Study of Youth in Takeo Province, Cambodia.

▼ Youth participation in community development has been viewed as one of the most effective methods for promoting young people’s active engagement with social services. However in rural communities of Cambodia, young people’s
participation is most commonly related to their labour contribution, which lacks core components of
participation such as decisions, choices, and management. Zeldin (2004) explains that adults usually initiate organisational structures and norms for young people’s
participation, which can inhibit young people from reaching their needs or interests.
Addressing these issues this thesis, from a qualitative perspective, aims to contribute to local understandings about
youth participation in development. With a focus on Cambodia, it explores the grounded experiences of two
youth groups in order to offer considerations for social practice, programme implementations and further studies. The research involved in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observations with
youth, village chiefs, commune councils, NGO staff, a church leader, a school teacher and young people’s parents in Chumras Pen commune, Samroang district, Takeo Province of Cambodia.
The examination of local perspectives of
youth participation is unravelled through participants’ practical experience and knowledge. The respondents considered charitable contributions of
youth as their primary form of active
participation, including educational awareness and campaigns in the community. Provided there are some positive outcomes from
youth engagement, one of the influential aspects is contributed by local partnerships. This substantial contribution stimulates interactions between key local members and
youth so they can work together for positive change in the community. This thesis suggests that young people do need support from key local groups or recognised agents to assist them in initiating
participation in terms of forming groups, and providing training and coaching to open new possibilities and strengthen youth’s initiatives.
The study also reveals several factors which have both direct and indirect effects on
youth participation practices. These include religion and development, power relations, and women’s leadership. This research suggests that these factors either motivate or inhibit
youth participation because of social norms and cultural acceptance.

▼ Understanding that citizenship and participation are polysemic words, with diverse meanings and contents, this study aims at identifying and analyzing the forms of participation carried out in the education for citizenship projects directed to youth by CRIA and MOC. The study is anchored in the theoretical discussions on democracy, citzenship and participation. It sees them as interchangeable categories, which have guided the field research through frameworks of indicators. Three conceptions of citizenship have been arranged: the one understood as possession of rights, the one based on civic virtues, and the one conceived as commonwealth joint management; and three forms of participation: the aid related, the cooperative and the citizenship related. The study made evident that in the fild of speech, the contents about participation and citizenship are similar. Both organizations develop education for citizenship aiming at the construction of a youth political identity, focusing on the citizenship related participation, directed to the control, consultation, negociation, joint production, joint management and dialogue with the decision making public spheres. It was noted, however, that the pathways prioritized to make such proposals effective are distinct, marked by the field of actuation, the political position and the history of each institution.
Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar e analisar as formas de participação desenvolvidas nos projetos de educação para cidadania do CRIA e do MOC, direcionados à juventude, por compreender que cidadania e participação são termos polissêmicos, com significados e conteúdos diversos. Está ancorado nas discussões teóricas sobre democracia, cidadania e participação, compreendendo-as como categorias intercambiáveis, as quais orientaram a pesquisa de campo, através de quadros de indicadores. Foram classificadas três concepções de cidadania: (a) entendida enquanto titularidade de direitos, (b) a fundamentada nas virtudes cívicas, e (c) concebida como co-gestão da coisa pública; e três formas de participação: (i) a assistencial, (ii) a cooperativa e (iii) a cidadã. O estudo evidenciou que no âmbito do discurso os conteúdos sobre participação e cidadania são similares. As duas organizações desenvolvem a formação para cidadania visando à construção de uma identidade política da juventude, focando a participação cidadã, direcionada para controle, consulta, negociação, coprodução, co-gestão e diálogo com as esferas de decisão. Contudo, observou-se que os caminhos priorizados para efetivar tais propostas são distintos, marcados pelo campo de atuação, posicionamento político e trajetória histórica de cada instituição.

▼ Tyrimo aktualumas ir problema Pastaraisiais
dešimtmečiais Europoje ir Lietuvoje nemažai akcentuojamas
pilietinis ir politinis dalyvavimas kaip viena iš svarbiausių
pilietinės visuomenės ir demokratiškos valstybės garantų. Lietuva
yra demokratinė valstybė ir viena iš pagrindinių stiprios,
vieningos ir gerai funkcionuojančios valstybės sąlygų – piliečių
pasitikėjimas valdžia bei dalyvavimas politikoje. Kaip teigia L.
Diamond, aktyvi pilietinė visuomenė yra tarpinis reiškinys tarp
privataus gyvenimo ir valstybės (Diamond, 1997). Ji neapima
privačios, į save nukreiptos veiklos, o skatina pasitikėjimą,
bendradarbiavimą su kitais visuomenės nariais. Tuo tarpu, R. J.
Dalton teigia, kad, šiuo metu didžiausia šiuolaikinių demokratijų
problema yra ta, kad piliečiai vis labiau nepasitiki politikais,
abejoja demokratinių institucijų ir demokratinio proceso
veiksmingumu (Dalton, 2004). Dažnai žmogaus laisvėms ir pačiai
demokratijai kyla pavojus, kai didžioji dauguma visuomenės
nereiškia jokio susidomėjimo valdžios institucijų veikla, o
tiesioginis gyventojų dalyvavimas viešųjų reikalų tvarkyme
dažniausiai suvokiamas tik kaip piliečių dalyvavimas rinkimuose.
Palyginus, ne daug piliečių aktyviai dalyvauja politiniame
gyvenime, dauguma yra linkę leisti priimti sprendimus atsakingiems
valstybės tarnautojams. Demokratinėje valstybėje svarbu, kad
kiekvienas pilietis suvoktų, kad jo dalyvavimas politikoje yra
būtinas. Juk piliečių dalyvavimas sprendimų priėmimo procese
liudija apie visuomenės... [toliau žr. visą

Civil and political participation is
emphasized as one of the most important civil society and
democratic state guarantors. In democratic state, it is important
that every citizen would be aware that his involvement in politics
is necessary, therefore, one of the priorities should be the
promotion of youth's participation in politics, because young
people are society's and state's future. Generation change, value
preservation, learning to make decisions and take full
responsibility for them are required. For all that to happen, it is
crucial for young people to more actively participate in politics.
It is necessary to develop youth's public spirit and political
activity, try to teach them to make decisions and solve problems,
because future politics depend on young people. Unfortunately,
there is noticeable passivity in youth's participation in politics,
complete lack of political values and attitudes. Thus, this
master's thesis' goal is to analyze the political participation as
one of the socialization means and determine the factors promoting
and obstructing youth's participation. Youth's political
participation attitudes' and motivation's to participate (in the
context of socialization) analysis parts are: 1. Political
participation's theoretical assumptions: concept, main forms of
participation, levels; 2. Legal regulation of youth's
participation; 3. Lithuanian youth's politics and factors
influencing political activity; 4. The empirical results which

▼ Poor urban areas (slums) in Kenya are growing at an alarming rate, Nairobi city not exempted. 60 to 80 % of Kenyan urban population lives in slums with 60 % of Nairobi population living in slums (UN-Habitat Report 2010). Majority of the slum dwellers are the youths who are faced with a lot of challenges like unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, early pregnancies, HIV/AIDs, crimes among others. With regard to the above mentioned challenges facing youth in slums, special attention to promoting youth participation in capacity development initiatives is wanting as this will help youth build their capacities, create job opportunities for them and increase their livelihood.
Kenya government has made effort towards youth development programmes and policies like youth fund, uwezo fund and current youth empowerment program in slums. However, youth problems in slums have been worsening despite the remarkable initiatives offered by the government and other development actors. The uptake of these initiatives by the youth has remained low. Therefore this study investigated the factors affecting youth participation in capacity development initiatives in Makadara Sub-county slums.
The Probit model was employed in the data analysis and the statistics was presented in through means, standard deviations and frequencies. Hundreds youth and five lead informants were interviewed through use of questionnaires. Youth participation was the dependent variable in the study, while explanatory variables were education level, expenditure, gender, age, awareness, willingness, and political connections.
The results from the estimation model showed that education level, expenditure, political connection, age, gender and awareness significantly explained the variability in youth participation in capacity development initiatives.
Therefore, the study recommends the development and implementation of various policies and key initiatives that will address youth participation and issues related to young people.

▼ This thesis is a critical investigation into the effectiveness of the youth participation structures created by the Irish State following the passing of the National Children’s Strategy (2000). As a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the State is obliged to extend citizenship rights, including the right to actively participate in the democratic process, to children and young people. Two structures are under review; the thirty-four youth councils, Comhairle na nÓg, and the annual youth parliament, Dáil na nÓg. Objectives include understanding how these participation structures are operationalised; how issues for participation are identified and dealt with; the background and motivations of members and the level of public awareness in, and impact of, these structures on young people and their communities.
The original contribution to knowledge is the proposition of a new theoretical framework through which the question of the effectiveness of the youth participation structures which exist (in Ireland) might be approached. The philosophical orientation of the study is a commitment to the evaluative approach offered to Children’s Geographies by classical pragmatism. A ‘hands-on philosophy’ of direct inquiry, classical pragmatism favours a practical, applied approach to the theorizing of societal issues over more absolutist abstractions. The critical inquiry presented is guided by the evaluative procedures derived from the key tenets of classical pragmatism such as the acknowledgment that while the researcher’s place in inquiry is important, it is not a privileged place; ultimately evaluation must be guided by the criteria of ‘what works’ in practice.
A mix of qualitative methods comprising of non-participant observations and semi-structured interviews were deployed and analysed using a grounded theory approach; indeed this study wishes to consolidate the status of grounded theory as a key method for Children’s Geographies. The analysis revealed practices of participation which although well-intentioned, were often unfocussed and ineffective. Application of the substantive grounded theory generated in this study would see young people and adults participating collaboratively in order that young people’s voices are better heard in society.
