项目摘要

The research will generate new knowledge about youth understandings of uncertainty, violence, poverty and rights. It will provide insights into how to support and sustain pathways out of poverty for street connected and marginalised youth. The research is timely as it will inform the implementation of the UN's sustainable development goals, in which inequality is a key theme.The overall aim of the research is to generate new knowledge about how marginalised youth perceive, navigate, negotiate and respond to uncertainty and how this may affect their rights and pathways out of poverty in impoverished fragile and conflict affected communities, which may also be prone to natural disasters. The relationship between poverty and uncertainty will be examined in Ethiopia and Nepal in partnership with CHADET and ActionAid Nepal, organisations that have demonstrated their local expertise in working with the most marginalised children and youth on poverty, rights and participation.The objectives of the research are informed by Bauman's theories about communities and autonomy that that have not previously been applied to conceptualise how marginalised youth experience uncertainty, poverty and their rights in fragile and conflict affected developing country contexts. The objectives will enable the project to produce new knowledge about the way vulnerable and marginalised street connected youth experience poverty as they grow up, and how this is affected by conflict, violence, instability, peer groups and migration. The new insights will have direct impact on the practices of policy organisations that address poverty through initiatives for youth education and rights.Detailed research questions explore how vulnerability, agency, and rights affect young people's daily coping strategies, sense of security, belonging and autonomy and how their dreams and identities change as they grow up in settings from busy urban centres to remote rural settings in Nepal and Ethiopia. The project will advance our understandings of why - in times of conflict and in post-conflict and fragile environmental and social settings, youth reject traditional norms, form new social norms and seek support and leadership in alternative groupings and forms of peer support, such as gangs and extremist groups. Creative innovative methods, such as mapping, rivers of life, photo narrative, network and support diagrams, will help to reveal youth perspectives on the complexities of their lives. Through working with 1,000 youth and 320 adults and 80 key stakeholders, the international research team will analyse how thinking and strategies differ between genders and generations. 250 detailed case studies in each country will be collected to provide stories from young men, women and youth of the third gender, aged 15-24 years, which will also help to understand how marginalised youth experiences of poverty and perceptions of and strategies in the face of uncertainty change depending on intersecting aspects ethnicity, caste, religion, disability, education and socio-economic status. New evidence about poverty, uncertainty and children's living rights will be presented to policy makers and providers of youth services, including government and non-government representatives, in national reference groups in Nepal and Ethiopia. In the conflict affected locations, detailed evidence on local policies and interventions that support youth to deal with uncertainty will include poverty alleviation, peacebuilding and education. Through dialogue with decision-makers about the complex realities for marginalised and street connected youth and what has made a positive difference to their lives, re-conceptualisation of youth policy and programmes will be encouraged and monitored.

这项研究将产生关于青年对不确定性、暴力、贫困和权利的理解的新知识。它将为如何支持和维持街头青年和边缘化青年摆脱贫困的途径提供见解。这项研究是及时的，因为它将为联合国可持续发展目标的实施提供信息，其中不平等是一个关键主题。这项研究的总体目标是产生关于边缘化青年如何感知、驾驭、谈判和应对不确定性的新知识，以及这可能如何影响他们在贫困、脆弱和受冲突影响的社区的权利和摆脱贫困的途径，这些社区也可能容易遭受自然灾害。贫困与不确定性之间的关系将在埃塞俄比亚和尼泊尔与CHADET和尼泊尔行动援助组织合作进行研究，这两个组织在与最边缘化的儿童和青年合作解决贫困、权利和参与问题方面展示了他们在当地的专业知识。这项研究的目标是由鲍曼关于社区和自治的理论所指导的，这些理论以前没有被应用于概念化边缘化青年在脆弱和受冲突影响的发展中国家环境中如何经历不确定性、贫困和他们的权利。这些目标将使该项目产生新的知识，了解弱势和边缘化的街头青年在成长过程中如何经历贫困，以及冲突、暴力、不稳定、同龄人群体和移民如何影响他们。新的见解将对政策组织的实践产生直接影响，这些组织通过青年教育和权利倡议来解决贫困问题。详细的研究问题探讨了脆弱性、代理和权利如何影响年轻人的日常应对策略、安全感、归属感和自主性，以及他们在尼泊尔和埃塞俄比亚从繁忙的城市中心到偏远的农村环境中成长的过程中，他们的梦想和身份是如何变化的。该项目将促进我们理解为什么在冲突时期、冲突后以及脆弱的环境和社会环境中，青年拒绝传统规范，形成新的社会规范，并在帮派和极端主义团体等其他群体和同伴支持形式中寻求支持和领导。创造性的创新方法，如地图、生命之河、照片叙事、网络和支持图，将有助于揭示青年对其生活复杂性的看法。通过与1000名青年、320名成年人和80名主要利益相关者合作，国际研究团队将分析性别和代际之间的思维和战略差异。每个国家将收集250个详细的案例研究，以提供15-24岁的青年男女和第三性别青年的故事，这也将有助于了解边缘化青年的贫困经历以及面对不确定性的看法和策略如何随着种族、种姓、宗教、残疾、教育和社会经济地位等交叉方面的变化而变化。有关贫困、不确定性和儿童生存权的新证据将提交给尼泊尔和埃塞俄比亚国家参考小组的决策者和青年服务提供者，包括政府和非政府代表。在受冲突影响的地区，有关支持青年应对不确定性的当地政策和干预措施的详细证据将包括扶贫、建设和平和教育。通过与决策者就边缘化和街头青年的复杂现实以及对他们的生活产生积极影响的因素进行对话，将鼓励和监测青年政策和方案的重新概念化。
