This comprehensive volume explores the remarkable expansion of
higher education systems and institutions in Asia in recent
decades, alongside changing forms of consumerism, mobility and
global economic conditions. It demonstrates how recent changes in
training, education and employment have sparked new aspirations for
possible and desirable livelihoods among the younger generation,
while also generating fresh problems and tensions. The authors in
this volume critically interrogate the links between education and
employment; normative understandings about youth and adulthood; as
well as personal, national and regional level aspirations for
economic 'success'. Comparative chapters on Cambodia, China, Hong
Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Nepal, Singapore and Taiwan
illustrate how young people are having to forge innovative pathways
into the future, while being confronted with ever increasing
insecurities. Offering important insights into the kinds of
education and employment landscapes that Asian youth are
navigating, reworking or trying to avoid, this collection is an
essential reference for students and scholars of Asian Studies,
Cultural Anthropology, Development Studies, Human Geography and
Youth Studies. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the journal Children's Geographies.
