Crisis and Hope for Japanese Youth
This conference aims at understanding the reality of crisis Japanese youth have been facing and examining the possibility of hope for them with empirical and comparative approach. Three sessions are organized about crisis and hope in family formation and partnership, social and political participation, and transition and life planning respectively. The first question is what or where the crisis is for youth. A lot of people have been talking about "Youth Problems" or "Youth Crisis" since late 1990s in Japan like other advanced societies. They, however, do not necessarily ground their understanding of youth on empirical data. As a result, "Problems" or "Crisis" are sometimes like urban folklores or just false stories. "Worsening youth crime in Japan" is one of those stories. We need to approach crisis for youth in a more empirical and comparative way. The second question is what or where the possible hope is for youth. Read moreCongratulations to our own Carmen Leccardi - new President of the European Sociological Association (2013 to 2015)

Book Publication on Sri Lankan Youth
Globalisation, employment and education in Sri Lanka: opportunity and division
Emerita Angela W. Little & Siri T. Hettige
About the book
Since the late 1970s, Sri Lanka has undergone a socio-economic
transformation, from protectionism towards economic liberalisation and
increasing integration into the world economy. Through a systematic
comparison of these periods of economic change (1956–1977, and 1977 to
the present), Angela W. Little and Siri T. Hettige examine the impact of
this transformation on education, youth employment and equality of
opportunity in Sri Lanka.
