Seminar: Youth in “Waithood”: Transitions and Social Change
Donderdag 29 November 2012 15:30 - 17:00

This seminar examines the lives of young people struggling with unemployment and sustainable livelihoods in the context of widespread social and economic crisis. Failed neo-liberal economic policies, bad governance and political instability have caused stable jobs to disappear but without jobs, young people cannot support themselves and their families. Most young Africans are living in ‘waithood’, a period of suspension between childhood and adulthood.
