Youth in South Africa: Agency, (in)visibility and national development takes stock of the nation's development as it affects young people. Authors offer both personal and professional insights into the ways in which the youth navigate their own pathways to adulthood. These include formal and informal engagements with politics, as well as protest, (un)employment, entrepreneurship, education, religion, experiences with sexuality and violence and a multitude of other life experiences. Contributors paint a picture of the initiative, agency and resilience of the youth, as well as the challenges before them. Authors also identify the state of "waithood" faced by those unable to make the transition out of youth into full adulthood as a result of their socio-economic circumstances and political context. By engaging these experiences and insights, and primarily informed by the inputs of young people, the authors highlight the limitations of existing youth policies."-- $c Back cover 500 $a "A MISTRA publication" 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Youth $z South Africa $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Youth development $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Youth $x Employment $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Youth $z South Africa $x Economic conditions. 650 7 $a Youth development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183602 650 7 $a Youth $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183410 650 7 $a Youth $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183412 650 7 $a Youth $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01183536 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 710 2 $a Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection. 700 1 $a De Lannoy, Ariane, $e editor. 700 1 $a Langa, Malose, $e editor. 700 1 $a Brooks, Heidi, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF3FF8841DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
