Back to the Suitcase? Emigration during the Great Recession in Spain

The complex and multidimensional economic crisis experienced by Spain since 2008 significantly altered migration patterns in this country. Large scale unemployment contributed to slow down migrant inflows and accelerated out-migration flows in Spain. The media coverage of these processes created a distorted image of the patterns of migration affecting Spain during the crisis. Although the incipient economic recovery has not had a major impact in terms of modifying the migration dynamics triggered by the crisis, the media attention to this issue has substantially decreased without questioning its previous approach to the phenomenon. This article presents extensive data from a wide range of sources covering the period 2008–2016 to extract detailed information about the reality of crisis-era migration flows in Spain, and discusses the extent to which the media treatment of the issue has contributed to a partial and misleading view of the causes and consequences of the new Spanish emigration.     

Understanding young citizens’ political participation in Turkey: does ‘being young’ matter?

Participation is key to the discussions of democracy and justice. For all citizens, no matter their differences, having the ability to participate is a difficult but required condition for a just and democratic political community. Based on the recent research on citizenship in Turkey, this article aims to explore, first, whether young citizens’ political participation shows a different pattern when compared to the rest of the population and, second, whether being young still determines the outcome when controlled for demographical factors and economic status. We then question whether belonging to different collective identities plays a different role in the way young citizens participate, and how. Last, mostly focusing on young citizens’ perceptions of the Gezi Park protests, the paper will discuss the role of politicized collective identities in the formation of conventional and unconventional political participation.     

Youth welfare policy in Turkey in comparative perspective: a case of ‘Denied Youth Citizenship’

This article explores the main characteristics of social and economic policies for young people in Turkey. Inspired by Tom Chevalier’s typology of youth welfare citizenship designed for Western European countries, the article situates Turkey’s youth welfare citizenship model within a comparative perspective and contributes to the extension of Chevalier’s typology to a non-Western European country context. Relying upon the systematic analysis of findings of a nationwide survey on young people that was conducted in 2013, comparative youth statistics, official youth statistics, public expenditures data and existing policy frameworks, the article suggests that Turkey fits well with the denied youth citizenship type in Chevalier’s typology. Two conclusions are drawn with respect to Turkey’s youth welfare citizenship model. First, with respect to the social citizenship dimension, the article finds that social and youth policy structure in Turkey has a familialization effect on young people’s access to income. In terms of economic citizenship, the article suggests that Turkey implements a selective strategy that results in unequal distribution of labour market skills among young people.     

青年自组织能力的有机构成及其建设路径研究

青年自组织能力是青年自组织研究的一个重要视角，具有特殊的时代内涵。它由组织实现资源整合和共识凝聚、成员参与活动的质量、组织自身的结构和发育程度以及自我调解纠纷、自我服务、自我适应等方面的能力有机构成。提升青年自组织能力不能仅局限于青年自组织主体本身，而是要着眼于共青团、外部环境、法律等客体。可通过青年自组织自身再塑造、合理定位共青团等组织职能、优化环境、推行法治化等途径提升青年自组织能力。

试论如何增强青少年生命教育的针对性和实效性

为了使青少年树立正确的生命意识,教育者必须在对青少年进行生命教育时,增强针对性和实效性。为此,应拓宽生命教育的途径,通过开设生命教育校本课程、在课堂教学与课外活动中渗透生命教育、重视隐性课程建设以及加强学校教育与社会教育和家庭教育的结合等多种方式,对青少年进行安全教育、死亡教育、生命审美教育、提高生存能力的知识技能教育。在此过程中,要注意教师的＂生命在场＂,重视青少年生命意识的内化,针对重大的反生命事件,对青少年进行正确引导,避免生命教育中的活动化倾向。     

论青少年刑事司法的恢复功能

我国现阶段青少年刑事司法系统的功能定位仍有所欠缺。国外青少年刑事司法系统除了完成对青少年犯罪人的矫正功能外，必然要承担修复青少年犯罪行为对社会各方面造成伤害的恢复功能。在了解国外青少年刑事司法恢复功能基本内容的基础上，应以和解、家庭会议、结果复原为核心机制。创造性地发挥我国青少年刑事司法系统的恢复功能。     

我国人口抚养比指标探讨

《中国统计年鉴》中的总抚养比,老年人口抚养比和少年儿童抚养比三个指标均因对劳动年龄人口与非劳动年龄人口内含界定不符合我国国情及现行法律规定,从而导致其计算出来的比值大大小于我国现实生活中总抚养比、老年人口抚养比和少年儿童抚养比三个指标的实际比值,严重脱离实际,几乎没有什么实用价值。有关部门应严肃对待并基于现行法律规定和实际情况予以更正,使相应指标具备实际意义。
