Abstract

The category "youth" appears as a stage in the natural progression of an individual's life. There is, however, deep and expansive politics that give meaning to the category youth. Within contemporary debates, the struggle to define youth has positioned young adults at the centre of policy frameworks, state-led initiatives, and international development discussions, which are concretizing various distinctions between "emerging" and established adults in terms of a range of characteristics, including their civic and economic participation.
