N2  - "Against a backdrop of social inequalities and rapid social change, this book develops a useful way of thinking about contemporary young people's issues. Following a group of young people for 12 years, Ani Wierenga's longitudinal study uncovers insider insights and examines what helps them to establish meaning, livelihood and connectedness. It shows how their lives are shaped by their context, but also how they come to access the resources they need (or not), the importance of trust relationships, and the vital role of individual and shared stories. The book provides an integrated discussion of topics including young people's learning and work, their creativity, their wellbeing and their active citizenship."--Publisher's website
