The exclusion of young people from the mainstream of the current global order is a growing concern that requires urgent attention. Extensive research has demonstrated that youth face significant challenges in surviving and maintaining their relevance within the existing systemic and institutional frameworks, leading to a profound existential and generational problem. To address this grand challenge, this edited collection, consisting of two volumes, aims to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the contexts of economic, educational, and governance concerns that impact youths. The complex consequences of these issues, their experiences of exclusion, and sustainable pathways forward are explored in depth.

Youth Exclusion and Empowerment in the Contemporary Global Order takes a multi-faceted approach, engaging with practical, pragmatic, intellectual, and policy perspectives. By delving into the lived experiences of young people across various countries, the chapters compile a diverse range of research employing various methodologies. The authors shed light on how young individuals often feel trapped, strategically excluded, and helplessly frustrated by the purportedly supportive institutional frameworks of society. They seek to answer the crucial question: how can young people empower themselves and become socially active in this context?

The original materials, literature, and data collected in both volumes of Youth Exclusion and Empowerment in the Contemporary Global Order provide a cutting-edge and innovative contribution to the field of global youth studies. The collection addresses policy and practice issues related to youth, offering valuable insights and solutions for policymakers, educators, and practitioners working to promote the well-being and empowerment of young people worldwide.
