Abstract

Introduction This paper reports the findings of research activity carried out as part of the UPLIFT project in Corby, United Kingdom. The project aimed to understand young people's experiences of education, employment and housing, and determine how young people navigate these domains, make choices and develop strategies within what is available to them. Through understanding the opportunities and strategies that young people employ across these domains, our aim was to consider how young people might engage locally to co-create a reflexive policy agenda. Methods We worked with peer researchers in Corby and interviewed local people (n = 40) and policy makers (n = 7) about the local context in Corby, and analyzed data, exploring themes. Results Findings highlighted the importance of young people understanding how systems work locally and suggest that young people, and their families, need greater support understanding how they can engage with and change systems. Discussion There needs to be better, easily accessible guidance developed around the support and opportunities that are available locally. Our research underlines the need to engage with young people in policy making to develop effective robust policy that works in a real-world context.

引言本文报告了作为英国科尔比UPLIFT项目的一部分进行的研究活动的结果。该项目旨在了解年轻人在教育、就业和住房方面的经历,并确定年轻人如何在这些领域中导航、做出选择和制定战略。通过了解年轻人在这些领域使用的机会和策略,我们的目标是考虑年轻人如何在当地参与,共同制定一个反射性的政策议程。方法我们与科尔比的同行研究人员合作,就科尔比的当地背景采访了当地人(n=40)和政策制定者(n=7),并分析了数据,探讨了主题。结果调查结果强调了年轻人了解当地系统如何运作的重要性,并表明年轻人及其家人需要更多的支持,了解他们如何参与和改变系统。讨论需要围绕当地可用的支持和机会制定更好、更容易获得的指导。我们的研究强调,需要让年轻人参与政策制定,以制定在现实世界中行之有效的强有力的政策。
