The Shifting Global World of Youth and Education explores how
increasing migration and population changes are having an
unprecedented impact on global education. Given that the number of
children of migrant background is growing internationally, there is
a need for increasing awareness of the educational attainment and
cultural integration of this population group. This book presents
international perspectives on migration and youth and analyses what
kinds of effects such demographic changes are having on educational
systems around the world. The chapters in this volume provide a
fascinating insight into how countries around the world are dealing
with loss or growth in their young population as well as changes to
their education systems. Written by specialist academics from the
relevant country, the book covers Cuba, Lithuania, the United
Kingdom, the United States, Finland, Greece, Germany, Austria,
Hungary, Latvia, China, Australia, India, Italy and Poland. Taking
into consideration the countries' social and political context, the
chapters discuss educational issues surrounding curriculum,
assessment and the opportunities available for the support of young
people. Conclusions are drawn about what could be done in the
future for the benefit of both the migrant and the existing
populations. The Shifting Global World of Youth and Education will
be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate
students in the disciplines of education, sociology, political
sciences and social work. The book will also give secondary
teachers, teaching assistants, social workers and youth workers the
opportunity to reflect on their role within a national and
international context.
