Young People and Social Change by Furlong
Examines modern theoretical interpretations of social change in relation to young people. This book provides an overview of their experiences in a number of key contexts, such as education, employment, the family, leisure, health, crime and politics. It is suitable as a text for courses on the sociology of youth, education, work, stratification.
..the succinct, clearly written sections in the central chapters of the book are extremely useful...But the book is most interesting in its attempt to test currently fashionable theses about the nature of social change in the late twentieth century against evidence about contemporary transitions to adulthood. - Youth & Policy ...a very accessible, well-evidenced and important book...succeeds in raising important questions in a new and powerful way. - Journal of Education and Work This is a well crafted and thought provoking contribution to theoretical discussion on youth and their transition to adulthood. It also has much to offer policymaker and practitioner audiences. - Local Government Studies
