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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy engaging these experiences and insights, and primarily informed by the inputs of young people, the authors highlight the limitations of existing youth policies and frameworks. The case is made for policy instruments to be informed by the lived experiences of the youth as they navigate a complex macrosocial environment, and by the messages the youth communicate about the limitations of current approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 486\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42120452210823,"sku":"9781920690298","price":124.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/dae5e88a41e66ea85b76026e37459269.webp?v=1732547370","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/youth-in-south-africa-invisibility-and-national-development-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
