Caring can be intense and time-consuming, and is associated with lower educational attainment, income and poorer health. Despite the need to understand the impact of care during early adulthood in Spain, where public care support to dependent adults is scarce, no studies have yet investigated this phenomenon. Here we use the Spanish and European Health Surveys from 2017 and 2019 to analyse how providing unpaid care between the ages of 17 and 29 is associated with having a chronic condition and a mental health condition. Results indicate that young adult carers are more likely to experience chronic conditions (when providing less than 10 hours of care per week) and to report mental health conditions (when providing 20 hours or more of care per week) compared to non-carers of the same age. Howeverh, controlling for endogeneity in the case of having a chronic condition makes the relationship statistically insignificant. This suggests that young adult carers with chronic conditions may be more available to engage in less demanding caring activities, whereas intensive caregiving may lead to more mental health problems.KEYWORDS: carecaregiveryoung adultsmental healthSpain Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by European Research Council: [Grant Number ERC-2019-COGagreement No 864616, HEALIN]; Joint Programming Initiative More Years, Better Lives: [Grant Number PCI2021-121983]; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación: [Grant Number PID2019-111666RJ-I00]; Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología: [Grant Number RYC-2013-14851].

Political economy approaches offer a critical account of the institutional arrangements that have resulted in the emergence of specific educational, labour and, more recently, youth policies in the Latin American region. Studies of youth policies are still developing and are a multidisciplinary field. This article draws on various theoretical traditions from various fields, constituting a novel approach to studying these policies. This article combines empirical evidence drawn from interviews with policy stakeholders with the analysis of key policy documents. It employs a Cultural Political Economy (CPE) approach to explain the Mexican government’s adoption of the youth programme Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro’ (JCF) in 2018, which provides paid on-the-job training to 2.3 million young people aged 18–29. The JCF’s adoption resulted from the rising to power of a left-wing political coalition presenting an anti-neoliberal alternative based on explicit notions of social justice and inclusion with a national development plan reminiscent of an inward-oriented development paradigm aimed at strengthening the internal market, reminiscent of recent ‘neo-developmentalist’ projects in the region. JCF represents a notorious case study of the political economy of youth policy in Mexico.","PeriodicalId":17574,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth Studies","volume":"14 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The young people identify key areas they believe need to be seriously taken up for consideration in building alternative Indigenous LGBTIQSB+ futures.

The analysis of interview data (N = 45) shows that young Finns studying in upper secondary education hold values of self-transcendence and openness to change in importance and see people holding values related to conservation and self-enhancement as their other. In their reasoning, the values of conservation and self-enhancement are typically related to and become manifest as (1) epistemic vices, (2) social injustices, (3) decadent behaviors, and (4) alienation from the status quo. These logics of othering are thus not based on identity, (sub)culture, religion, or ethnicity, but on characteristics and ideologies that feel alienating and condemnable, because they jeopardize the values, rights, and wellbeing of others. Furthermore, this article brings forth that while the values of the contemporary young Finns have not changed much compared to the previous generations of youths, their criteria for depicting the other have shifted.KEYWORDS: Logics of otheringvaluesbelongingFinlandFinnish students Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The war in Europe that erupted in winter of 2022 witnessed an international increase in feelings of benevolence and solidarity in people, but also enhanced prejudices and othering, especially in Finland (YLE News 2022).

We ask how rural places, youth, and technologies assemble in everyday life. We argue that rural youth becomings assemble not only with traditional technologies, such as mopeds, snowmobiles, and cars, but also with digital technologies, the internet, and social media.

In this mixed-method study, we explore whether young people also experience a push to leave the rural community due to a lack of psychosocial thriving. The quantitative analysis of the Ungdata-survey among young people aged 13–16 years (n = 141,058) shows that girls imagine leaving more than boys, and also fare worse on many indicators for psychosocial well-being. There is a linear decline in girls’ psychosocial well-being the less centrally they live. We call this the gendered district effect. Contrary to expectations, we find that rural girls without higher education aspirations are those who least want to stay in the rural community. It is likely that a lower degree of psychosocial well-being is part of the reason that more girls in rural areas wish to leave their homeplace. The qualitative analysis of the rural village of Smallville (n = 21) explores this, showing that girls commonly wanted to leave to escape a toxic social environment, which also offered few status-filled work opportunities in the village. The girls were more affected by the rural community's restricting social norms, leaving girls with poor self-images and the wish to leave.","PeriodicalId":17574,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Youth Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136160006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
