This book offers a comprehensive overview of studies on youth
agency across various parts of the world. It explores diverse
perspectives on education, citizenship and future livelihoods,
modernity and tradition, gender equality, and social norms and
transformations as they relate to how young people construct their
agency. Drawing on case studies of young women and men from Africa,
the Americas and South Asia, this book illustrates the different
ways in which education affects youth's beliefs, engagement,
action, and identities in broader historical, social, cultural,
economic, and political contexts. Chapters argue for education as a
potential force for equity and explore how both formal schooling
and informal educational programs may challenge and inspire youth
through individual and collective action to change the social
conditions affecting their lives and their communities. The global
nature of this book gives readers a deeper understanding of youth
agency as a dynamic process in relation to changing economic,
political, and social environments. Featured topics include: The
role of community context and relationships in shaping U.S. youth's
citizen agency. Malala Yousafzai and media narratives of girls'
education within Islam and modernity. Social capital, sexual
relationships, and agency for Tanzanian youth. Boys' agency toward
higher education in urban Jamaica. Children's economic agency in
Kanchipuram, India. Vocational training and agency among Kenyan
youth. Education and Youth Agency is an essential resource for
researchers, educators, practitioners, and undergraduate and
graduate students across such related disciplines as developmental
psychology, international and comparative education, family studies
as well as public health, educational policy and politics, youth
studies, and social policy.
