Product Description

Youth Voice is an international, multidisciplinary, refereed journal that publishes theoretical contributions and empirical studies on youth policy and issues affecting young people. Youth Voice Journal aims to: 1. Provide a medium, especially for young researchers and young academics, to inform social policy and academia about the youth perspective through evidence-based research; 2. Provide a platform for the intellectual exchange of ideas around the globe, with the aim of influencing policies and practices that affect young people; 3. Actively encourage and aide those young people whose voice is rarely heard by policy makers to contribute to the journal or be heard through it.
