youth studies

Youth Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the lives, experiences, and challenges faced by young people, typically those aged 12 to 24. It explores various aspects, including social, cultural, educational, and psychological factors that influence youth development. Researchers in this field investigate issues like identity formation, peer relationships, mental health, and the impact of technology and media. By understanding these dynamics, Youth Studies aims to inform policies and practices that support healthy development and empower young individuals in society. The field draws from sociology, psychology, education, and cultural studies to provide a comprehensive view of youth.
