This volume incorporates ground-breaking new academic perspectives
on the contributions that children and young people make to
societies around the world, with a particular focus on learning and
work. The chapters in the volume offer conceptual and empirical
insights into how young people learn to labour, and the complex
social, spatial, temporal, institutional and relational processes
that informs their engagements in daily, generational and social
reproduction. The editors have intentionally avoided using the
terms 'education' and 'employment' in the title, as this volume is
an attempt to capture the multitude of ways, spaces and contexts
(not just 'formal') in which learning takes place and work is
carried out. Here, learning indicates education in the broadest
possible sense, to incorporate not just formal schooling and the
acquisition of institutionally recognised academic knowledge and
credentials, but also informal learning (including socialization
and the on-the-job acquisition of skills that takes place almost
imperceptibly, over time). In addition to the theoretical
perspectives this volume brings on young people's education and
work, other prominent conceptual themes present throughout the work
are mobilities, transitions and gender. Following four initial
chapters that engage with conceptual issues, the remainder of the
volume is divided into two sections, entitled 'spaces of labouring
and learning' and 'livelihoods, transitions and social
reproduction'. Within these sections, a broad spectrum of empirical
chapters demonstrates how young people live, learn and labour in
Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. These include, among
others, geographies of education; interface between migration,
learning and livelihoods; cultural politics of human capital
formation; schooling and work; citizenship education; families and
parenting; socialization and informal education; education-induced
migration; processes and practices of inclusion and exclusion in
educational institutions; part-time work; domestic work; care work;
informal livelihoods; entrepreneurship; social transitions; and a
wide range of social, economic, cultural, political (structural)
forces that intersect and dissect these topics. As the reader will
become aware, there is no such thing as a standard educational or
work trajectory, a 'normal' transition or a straight forward
relationship between work, education and social reproduction.
Indeed, one of the aims of the volume is deliberately to showcase
the diversity that young people's lives hold in this regard.
