Abstract

There has been a limited dialogue between the global 'North' and the 'South' in youth studies, which means that dominant interpretive paradigms describe most accurately young people in the nations and cultures where these paradigms are produced. For example, the received wisdom about contemporary youth transitions is that they are extended and fragmented. However, the specifics of local culture, as well as socioeconomic status, need to be taken into account. For a culturally inclusive future, youth sociology needs to deploy conceptual and interpretive frameworks that can apply across the many different settings and circumstances in which young people live, study, work and make decisions.
