From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Youth exclusion is a form of social exclusion in which youth are at a social disadvantage in joining institutions and organizations in their societies. Troubled economies, lack of governmental programs, and barriers to education are examples of dysfunctions within social institutions that contribute to youth exclusion by making it more difficult for youth to transition into adulthood. European governments have recently recognized these shortcomings in societies organizational structures and have begun to re-examine policies regarding social exclusion. [2] Many policies dealing with social exclusion are targeted at youth since this demographic of people face a transition into adulthood; defining career and lifestyle choices that will affect the future culture and structure of a society.

Youth exclusion is multi-dimensional in that age, race, gender, class and lifestyle all effect how a youth experiences their life within a given culture. In addition to the intersectionality affecting youth experience, youth exclusion is context specific. This means that youth feel exclusion in different areas of their lives depending on their cultural and spatial locations. Another consideration is that youth exclusion is relational insofar as social exclusion contains two parties, the excluders and the excluded.[4] Pertaining to youth exclusion, the excluders are often older generations who believe that the economic support services and institutions that help the youth puts their own comfortable standard of living at risk. All of these demographic, cultural, spatial and relational factors contribute to worldwide experiences of youth exclusion.
