Förlagets beskrivning
Societies around the world are changing rapidly, but are adolescents being
prepared to be adults in the emerging global, high-tech world? This volume is
the report of an international study group addressing this question. Articles
examine how well adolescents are being prepared for productive employment,
healthy interpersonal relationships, civic participation, and positive physical
and mental health in the future. Authors point to a range of possible positive
and negative scenarios and make recommendations for social policy. The many
conclusions include: The ladder to reaching 'successful' adulthood is lengthening in most
regions of the world. Separate 'youth cultures' are appearing in nearly all societies. Adolescence will increasingly be spent indoors. New technologies and increasing wealth are not likely to alter rates of
adolescent problem behavior. Despite greater demands, most youth are rising to the challenge and
developing higher levels of skill and maturity than were common in prior
generations. Societies around the world are changing rapidly, but are adolescents being
prepared to be adults in the emerging global, high-tech world? This volume is
the report of an international study group addressing this question.
