Young People, Inequality and Youth Work (Paperback)

Youth work has provided a setting for a number of significant innovations in welfare practice. These have included the development of work with girls and young women, the growth of the lesbian and gay youth movement, the expansion of self-consciously black forms of provision and innovations in approaches to disability. Even though successive governments have often sought to constrain and marginalise such work, progressive practice remains possible. This book explores the nature of inequalities experienced by young people and assesses emerging forms of practice.
