Not Just Fun and Games: Reconceptualizing the Role of Young People in Economic Development

K. Maeve Powlick

Chapter Chapter 7 in Toward a Good Society in the Twenty-First Century, 2013, pp 145-167 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A good society is one where people, including young people, are able to participate in decisions that affect them. This is especially important regarding economic development policy, which directly impacts the ability of people to make a living, support a family, and make choices about employment and career. The understanding of children as people, who make choices affecting themselves, others, and the future, is limited in economic analysis.
