List of literature for

The Social Situation of Young People in Europe

Sources

Principles of selection:

§         1997+ data and reports/publications (i.e. the last five years only)

  • Empirical data: concentrate on comparative sources, except for (a) countries that are not usually included in European and international datasets, and (b) for themes that are not treated well in comparative statistics or research, but seek illustration of issues rather than additive comprehensiveness
  • Policy reports: exclusively European and international reports
