In 1996 William Angel launched a unique, pioneering study tracing the origin, growth and basic features of the international law of youth rights. It consisted of both source documents and commentary on the historical trends to elaborate and codify international instruments and standards in this field, as well as action taken by governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental organizations to promote and protect youth rights. It concluded with a call for a new international instrument and monitoring machinery to better promote and protect the rights of youth on a global basis. The aim of the current revised, updated and expanded edition of this ground-breaking work is twofold. First, to...
Exacerbated by the Great Recession, youth transitions to employment and adulthood have become increasingly protracted, precarious, and differentiated by gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Youth Labor in Transition examines young people's integration into employment, alongside the decisions and consequences of migrating to find work and later returning home. The authors identify key policy challenges for the future related to NEETS, overeducation, self-employment, and ethnic differences in outcomes. This illustrates the need to encompass a wider understanding of youth employment and job insecurity by including an analysis of economic production and how it relates to social reproduct...

Critically examining narratives of participation in governance and development, this volume adds Caribbean voices and experiences to the global discourse on youth participation. The essays provide empirical case studies of institutions, practices and processes of youth engagement in the politics of Caribbean development, orienting the reader to the political culture of the Caribbean and the position of youth within small societies.

Lo scrittore milanese Emilio De Marchi (1851 - 1901) lega il suo esordio letterario al movimento della Scapigliatura, cui unisce l'eredità manzoniana e i caratteri del naturalismo, in una felice sintesi che dà rilievo particolare alla vita della piccola borghesia e della gente umile, e con un'attenzione costante all'elemento del paesaggio. La sua produzione romanzesca prende avvio fra il 1876 e il 1877 e la sua opera maggiore è il Demetrio Pianelli, uscito nel 1889, ma tra le sue fatiche letterarie spiccano anche titoli come Arabella (1892), Redivivo (1894), Giacomo l'idealista (1897) e Col fuoco non si scherza (1900). La sua ricca bibliografia non manca inoltre di scritti politici, libri a sfondo pedagogico e saggi di critica letteraria. Delle sue opere Utet propone oggi una versione digitale, completa di apparato critico navigabile ipertestualmente.
