Значительную часть населения мира сегодня составляет молодежь, поэтому решение молодежных проблем востребовано временем и нацелено на интеллектуаль- ное и социально-экономическое развитие планеты. Башкирский институт социальных технологий – один из немногих в стране, где ведущее место занимает обучение социальным технологиям. Такой путь мы выбрали совершенно осознанно. В современном мире безгранична возможность использова- ния социальных технологий. Они выступают как интеллектуальный наукоемкий ресурс, использование ко- торого позволяет не только изучить и предсказать различные социальные перемены, но и активно влиять на практическую жизнь, получать эффективный прогнозируемый социальный результат. Международный опыт свидетельствует, что с помощью соци- альных технологий можно своевременно разрешать социальные конфликты, снимать социальное напряжение, предотвращать катастрофы, блокировать рисковые ситуа- ции, принимать оптимальные управленческие решения устойчивого развития. А это в настоящее время очень важно и актуально. Поэтому для нашего вуза является принципиальной подготовка кадров, соот- ветствующих требованиям современности, обладающих сформированным чувством причастности и ответственности каждого за все происходящее, социальной активной личности. Тема, предложенная для конференции, актуальна для всего международного сообщества. О том, какой интерес вызывают молодежные проблемы, свидетельствует число и география участников конференции. О готовности молодых людей вести по- иск оптимальных путей для решения стоящих перед нами задач, отвечать на новые вызовы времени свидетельствует тот факт, что на участие в сегодняшней конферен- ции было подано около 100 заявок. Это учащиеся школ, студенты колледжей и вузов не только Республики Башкортостан, но и многих городов России, аспиранты и уче- ные – те, кому не безразлична судьба России и мирового сообщества в целом, кому предстоит взять на себя ответственность за будущее нашей цивилизации. Мы уверены, что молодежь, при условии ее поддержки и внимания к инициа- тивам, – это не источник проблем, а значимый ресурс общественного и государствен- ного развития. Каждая страна ставит перед собой цель – воспитать патриота, знающе- го свои права и обязанности, соблюдающего законы, способного осуществить само- стоятельный выбор и нести за него ответственность. Поэтому одной из основных за- дач долгосрочной стратегии является нацеленность не только на социальную под- держку молодых людей, но прежде всего на создание условий для более активного включения молодежи в социально-экономическую, политическую и культурную жизнь общества. Т.А. Нигматуллина, директор БИСТ, доктор политических наук, 3 Dear participants of the conference! The youth make up a considerable part of the population of the world that is why the solution of the youth problems is undoubtedly important nowadays and it aims at the intel- lectual and social-economical development of the world. The founder of our leading institution (i.e. of the Academy of Labour and Social Re- lations) is the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia. The Academy has been training specialists of the social-economical sphere for more than 90 years. Bashkir Institute of Social Technologies is one of the few institutes in the country where the social technology training takes the leading place. We have chosen this way de- liberately. The opportunity to use social technologies is infinite in the modern world. They act as an intellectual science intensive resource the use of which allows not only learning and predicting various social changes but also influencing the practical life, getting an effec- tive predictable social result. International experience indicates that with the help of social technologies it is possible to solve social conflicts in time, to relieve social tension, to pre- vent catastrophes, to block risky situations and to make optimal administrative solutions of the stable development. And nowadays it is very important and urgent. That is why the fundamental issue of our Institute is the training of personnel which would meet the requirements of the present and would have sense of participation and liabil- ity for everything what is going on. The theme of the conference is urgent for the whole international community. The quantity and geography of the participants of the conference indicates that the youth prob- lems raise great interest. About 100 applications for the participation in the conference were filed and it shows that young people are ready to search the optimal ways of solution of the current problems. The participants are students of the schools, college and university stu- dents from the Bashkortostan Republic and from other Russian and foreign cities, post- graduates and scientists, those people who care about the fate of Russia and of the interna- tional community in whole, who will take the responsibility for the future of our civiliza- tion. We are sure that the youth is not the source of problems, but a considerable resource of the social and state development, if we pay attention to the youth’s initiatives. Every country defines its goal to bring up a patriot who knows his rights and liabilities, who keep the law and who is able to make his choice and be responsible for it. That is why one of the basic tasks of the long-term strategy is to focus not only on the social support of the young people but also on the creation of conditions for more active participation of the youth in social-economical, political and cultural life of the society.

It is not limited to any geographical region or country. It is a gross violation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of children. It infringes upon the child’s physical and mental integrity, which are central to the experience of human dignity and, poses a significant threat to the child’s life. Child trafficking is inherently a dynamic, hid- den phenomenon that is difficult to identify. Trafficking of children or the sale of children is a form of human trafficking. Though statistics regarding the magnitude of child trafficking are difficult to obtain, the International Labour Organization estimates that 1.2 million children are traf- ficked each year. The major international documents dealing with the trafficking of children are the 1989 U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, the 1999 I.L.O. Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention and the 2000 U.N. Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Pun- ish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children [1]. The first major international instrument dealing with the trafficking of children is part of the 2000 United Nations Palermo protocols, titled the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially

  • Youth-Adult Partnership Is a Right and a Part of Being a Citizen in Our Democracy
    Youth-adult partnership is a right and a part of being a citizen in our democracy Students must have an active role in their learning if that learning is going to be meaningful and lasting, and such an active role should include having input into how their learning is facilitated. This is the right of the students, and it is the responsibility of adults to ensure that that right is guaranteed. —Alison Cook-Sather, 2008 If the central goal of schools were to prepare students to engage productively in a democracy, then students would be working on the concerns of their immediate and future life and on the concerns of their immediate and extended communities. —Carl Glickman, 1993 According to the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2017, 61% of high school students surveyed agree or strongly agree that they matter to people in their community; a significant increase over the past decade (47% in 2007, 50% in 2015). For middle school students, 64% reported that they mattered to people in their community, up from 53% in 2011. Youth-adult partnership promotes ownership If students feel some ownership in the school where they learn, we might have better attendance, fewer suspensions, and more respect for keeping our building clean. Also, having a choice in how we are taught might make most students more enthusiastic about learning. —student proposal for democracy, Meaningful Student Involvement Guide to Inclusive School Change, Adam Fletcher Fostering student voice—empowering youth to express their opinions and influence their educational experiences so that they feel they have a stake in the outcomes—is one of the most powerful tools schools have to increase learning.

  • The Rise of Gerontocracy? Addressing the Intergenerational Democratic Deficit
    The rise of gerontocracy? Addressing the intergenerational democratic deficit Dr Craig Berry on behalf of the Intergenerational Foundation May 2012 Intergenerational Foundation, www.if.org.uk, charity no: 1142 230 Contents Foreword 3 Executive summary 5 Introduction 10 1. Democracy and intergenerational equity 13 2. The intergenerational democratic deficit 20 3. Solutions? 44 Appendix: possible objections 66 2 Foreword Debate about the implications of the ageing character of our society has so far been directed towards economic issues, including imbalances in wealth and economic opportunities across the generations. It is now time for us to start considering the civic implications of inequalities arising from Britain's ageing society. The analysis set out in this paper by Dr Craig Berry shows that, if current trends continue, older cohorts may well come to exercise a disproportionate influence on the democratic process in future decades. We could be witnessing a fundamental reconfiguration of the electorate, which is putting more power into the hands of older people and reducing that which younger cohorts possess. Dr Berry's paper illustrates that the life-stages of voters matter more and more in our democracy. Understanding the significance and nature of age-based inequalities should form an important part of the agenda of those committed to the cause of reforming our political system. An electorate which includes a growing number of older people generates new imbalances in terms of voter turnout, voter registration, party support and the social and generational composition of the legislature. The coalition government's proposed changes to the system of voter registration, for instance, require particularly careful scrutiny if they are to avoid making generational inequalities worse.

  • The Youth Industrial Complex Adam Fletcher July 2020 Freechild Institute, Freechild.Org
    The Youth Industrial Complex Adam Fletcher July 2020 Freechild Institute, freechild.org Synopsis: In the context of decreased support for young people throughout society, it is vital to understand the forces driving the changes underway. The writer identifies and analyzes a phenomenon called the youth-industrial complex that situates the relationships between businesses, governments and nonprofits, as well as the functions between public and private resources, and youth activities. Acknowledging the history and future of the phenomenon, the writer suggests this becomes core knowledge among people within and affected by the complex. The nonprofit industrial complex affects billions of people worldwide, benefiting and detracting from our efforts to make change all while appearing innocuous and indifferent. Because of their age and role in society though, young people might be the most heinously affected. Their experience is so finitely affected that I am calling it the youth-industrial complex. The youth- industrial complex is a phenomenon in the United States that summarizes the overlapping interests of nonprofits, businesses and government agencies which use public and private resources to create youth-serving activities to address economic, social and political problems. What It Does The youth-industrial complex is reflected in the relationship between the three components of governments, nonprofits and businesses. These activities reinforce each sectors' mutually beneficial interactions with young people. Each individual component gains from addressing specific problems in society with specific activities for youth, while the other two aspects gain from ensuring young people have those specific problems in the first place. Every single young person is affected by this complex in countless visible and invisible ways, extending from their home lives to sports, schooling to hanging out; from technology to clothing, music to communication.

Rank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Mark A. Smith, Chair Leah M. Ceccarelli Jack Turner, III Naomi D. Murakawa Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Political Science 1 ©Copyright 2014 Allison D. Rank 2 University of Washington Abstract Bums, Revolutionaries, or Citizens? A Political History of Youth in Twentieth-Century America Allison D. Rank Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Mark A. Smith Political Science Under what conditions do political elites begin to fear that young people will fail to become responsible citizens? What do these conditions and the solutions adopted tell us about the values and skills associated with American citizenship at specific points in time? What types of young people does the state try to develop into desirable citizens, and how has the state’s approach to youth who lie on the margins and are at risk of failing to adequately take on the role of citizen changed over time? How do changing beliefs, practices, and policies around youth and citizenship intersect with issues of race and state-building in America? To answer these questions, I examine key debates and policies from the Progressive Era through the 1970s. I focus on legislative initiatives, statements political actors made in support and opposition, and public and media reactions. I attend specifically to restrictions on child labor (1900s-1920s), the Civilian Conservation Corps (1934) and National Youth Administration (1935) during the New Deal, the G.I.

The final version can be accessed at http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0539018412466636 ARE THE KIDS ALRIGHT? A CRITIQUE AND AGENDA FOR TAKING YOUTH CULTURES SERIOUSLY ABSTRACT Researchers have long been fascinated with youth subcultures. Decades of study have yielded several competing paradigms which attempt to interpret these subcultures in diverse ways, with each succeeding paradigm criticizing, and attempting to improve on, those that came before it. Rather than offering criticism of a specific youth studies paradigm, this paper provides a critique of this body of theory as a whole, by delineating several theoretical assumptions that have persisted across these perspectives. These include: 1) the tendency to group all youth phenomena under a monolithic conceptual umbrella, 2) a preoccupation on the part of researchers with style and the consumption of goods, and 3) the assumed lack of rational behavior found in subcultures and an accompanying inability on the part of subcultures to achieve real goals or effect social change. It is argued that such assumptions trivialize subcultures, have lead to a priori understandings of these without adequate empirical grounding, and must be addressed if subcultures are to be adequately understood and appreciated.

I argue that, instead, Canadian ecological feminists must view children as distinct environmental citizens, furthering the interests and needs of both children and women as groups whose voices are often silenced in environmental justice discourses even as they disproportionately bear the weight of environmental harms. Le féminisme canadien s'est concentré principalement sur les enfants en tant que personnes vulnérables ou en tant qu'aspect de la politique maternelle. Je soutiens qu'au lieu de cela, les féministes écologiques canadiennes doivent considérer les enfants comme des citoyens de l'environnement à part entière, favorisant ainsi les intérêts et les besoins des enfants et des femmes en tant que groupes dont la voix est souvent réduite au silence dans les discours sur la justice environnementale, alors même qu’ils souffrent de manière disproportionnée de l’impact des dommages environnementaux.
