Youth civic participation and social connection in post-industrial society: a comparative analysis

该项目产生了关于青年公民参与的重要新知识，并将制定更有效的指标，说明与当今青年有关的公民身份和联系的当代含义。它将对青年参与和联系问题上的青年、教育和福利政策作出直接贡献，帮助政策制定者、服务提供者和方案设计者制定及时和顺应形势的方针。该项目还将大大促进澳大利亚和欧洲研究人员之间正在进行的国际合作的发展，以及对下一代研究人员的研究培训。

The project generates important new knowledge about youth civic participation and will develop more effective indicators for contemporary meanings of citizenship and connection that are relevant to young people today. It will make a direct contribution to youth, education and welfare policies on issues of youth participation and connection, helping to shape a timely and responsive approach on the part of policy makers, service providers and programme designers. The project will also contribute significantly to the development of ongoing international collaborations between researchers in Australia and Europe, and to the research training of the next generation.
