| Research Abstract |
This research intends to illuminate how the transformation of youth transitions has related to the social class, in particular to know whom or which class of young people current youth policies and practices have empowered and failed to empowered, including the comparison with other countries, especially EU nations.
This research has illustrated the following points. Firstly, there are some kinds of system among current youth support institutions or activities in Japan, they are(1) community based youth activities, (2) support institutions for young people who have withdrawn from schools or societies for some reason(Futoukou or Hikikomori) and(3) career guidance activities for young people, and they have not always made effective or necessary communication or collaboration each other. Moreover, what is a more serious point is that any kinds of activities have not focused on young people who have some difficulties to join the society because of their deprived backgrounds, which will enlarge the contradiction between the transformation of youth transitions and youth support system.
Secondly, in EU countries, on the one hand youth policies as well as other social policies have strengthened the tendency to be individualized and work oriented ones. However, on the other hand, there are other kinds of youth support activities such as social pedagogists in Germany or community and youth workers in UK and other countries. They are not always going with current tendency of youth policies, but focusing on organizing social network among young people who have disadvantaged background to join the current society. These activities are worthy to remark on thinking about current and future youth policies, because now youth transitions have been polarized into'choice biography'and'risk biography'which has related to social class and social network strongly.
