Why Youth Participation? Some justifications and critiques of youth participation using New Labour's youth policies as a case study

Rys Farthing, Youth & Policy · 2012 · Academic paper

Builds four justifications for youth participation (rights, empowerment, efficiency and development) and tests them against three critiques. Uses New Labour's youth policies from 1997 to 2010 as a case study to argue that participation's benefits are often assumed rather than examined.
