In this volume, contributors utilize the waithood concept as a framework for in-depth ethnographic investigations of \"youth in waiting\" from diverse global regions, including the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Their findings reveal that, whether voluntary or involuntary, youth waithood necessitates the acknowledgment of novel gender and family roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 630g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 228 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800736290\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":47425730248954,"sku":"9781800736290","price":31.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1750430858537_book_830dc365-81a4-4ae4-947c-8d44cd1cf301.jpg?v=1750531461","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/waithood-gender-education-and-global-delays-in-marriage-and-childbearing-9781800736290","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
