Youth Policy in the 1990s

First published in 1992, the editors bring together experts in the key areas of youth policy. They provide a critical review of the major issues which implicitly or explicitly affect the world of adolescents and examine to what extent they paint a picture of existing youth policy. The aim was to provide a baseline for a policy on youth.
