ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF YOUTH STUDIES
(APJYS)

AIM & SCOPE

Relevant topics include a wide array of issues including individual level factors, program evaluations, case studies and best practices, as well as policies affecting young people’s lives and development. Critical studies of issues pertaining to youth from underserved and marginalized groups are particularly welcome. We invite papers that define youth in a manner consistent with a predominantly Asian social construction, which typically ranges from early adolescence to young adults in their 30’s. We are interested in the social, contextual, and political factors that influence healthy and harmful youth development. The journal includes studies from diverse disciplines including:
