Parental satisfaction with inclusive education of their children with SEND is studied from an international perspective through comparative sources on policy, legislation, governance, standards, as well as public opinion and parental participation in the five states. According to the results, the countries differ by the degree of parental satisfaction with inclusive education, with the highest level of critical appraisal of implementation of inclusion and teachers’ competences in Russia and Belarus. Our main findings indicate that, in these regions, the main support for inclusive education comes precisely from the parents of children with SEND; however, they are also more critical towards the real state of inclusion, and are especially dissatisfied with the qualifications of teachers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 108087"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With high youth unemployment rates and an increase in NEETs (those not in education, employment, or training), many young people have recently struggled to secure employment after graduation. In South Korea, the delayed and unstable transitions of young people have become a significant social problem relatively recently, yet empirical evidence explaining the situation and its changes remains insufficient. Examining changes in the STWT process provides insight into how social risks have evolved during young adulthood. Utilizing data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study and applying group-based trajectory analysis, this study identifies changes in the STWT process. The high rates of NEET and unemployment currently observed in South Korea may be associated with qualitative changes in the life course. The findings reveal that transition patterns in recent cohorts have become lengthened, unstable, and non-linear. This research can serve as a foundation for developing effective welfare policies for young people experiencing prolonged and unstable STWT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 108114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also known that there has been a large increase in children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) attending mainstream schools in comparison to previous years, given the advances in the understanding of diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. Mental health difficulties have become a concern not only for typically developing children, but also children with SEN, who experience exacerbated difficulties within the setting. One method that can help teachers to identify children with potential mental health difficulties is the use of screening tools, which can ultimately lead to early, successful interventions being implemented. However, no such measurement tools exist inclusive of both typically developing pupils and pupils with SEN. The aim of the current study was to design and validate a new measure of mental health for use in mainstream primary and secondary schools, which is also appropriate for use with those with SEN (the MHISQ). A total of 185 participants took part from mainstream primary and secondary schools and the sample included pupils, teachers, and parents. The MHISQ shows strong convergent validity with other measures in relation to psychological well-being, mood, anxiety and depression. It also shows good internal consistency, test–retest reliability and inter-rater reliability. Finally, the MHISQ also has good levels of specificity and sensitivity. The MHISQ was built upon a triangulation of robust findings, including qualitative interviews, mathematical modelling, and a systematic literature review and forms the basis of a robust measure of school-based mental health which is free-for-use and validated for ages eight to 16.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 108128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to high levels of youth unemployment, the country is not able to reap the desired benefits of the demographic dividend. Therefore, in this article an attempt is made to examine the individual and socio-economic factors associated with youth unemployment and the prevalence of informal employment among Indian youth. By utilising the definitions of the informal sector and informal employment provided by the National Council for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) and the conceptual framework from the 17th International Conference on Labour Statistics (17th ICLS), the paper conceptualises the issue of informalisation and how far youth are employed in this sector in the Indian labour market. Further, to identify the determinants of youth unemployment, a binary logistic regression model is used. The study reveals that several variables, including education, gender, residence, caste, age, marital status, vocational training and economic status of families are significant factors that influencing the youth unemployment in India. The study finds that a substantial proportion of Indian youth remains unemployed or employed in informal sector. This highlights the potential gap between demand for and supply of skills. Therefore, the article argues that there is a pressing need to bridge any information gap between education and industrial demands of skill. For that, employers and educators’ need be part of policy formation that targets youth employment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48428,"journal":{"name":"Children and Youth Services Review","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 108081"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143148106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used latent profile analysis and a regression mixed model approach to investigate the subgroups and their relationships with adolescents’ Mf and Ms. The results indicated that, based on the indicators of parental warmth, rejection, and overprotection, Chinese co-parenting can be divided into three subgroups: moderate overprotection, high warmth, and low rejection (MO-HW-LR; 48.43%); moderate overprotection, moderate warmth, and low rejection (MO-MW-LR; 34.68%); and high overprotection, moderate warmth, and moderate rejection (HO-MW-MR; 16.89%).
