Instead, they were\u003cbr\u003efollowed by authoritarian backlash, civil wars, economic collapse and food and\u003cbr\u003eenergy insecurity. Young people are often the ones hit hardest by the\u003cbr\u003econjunction of these problems. How do they cope with insecurities and growing\u003cbr\u003euncertainties, and what drives them to pursue their own dreams in spite of\u003cbr\u003ebeing disenfranchised?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dispossessed Generation\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive, in-depth study of young people in the MENA region to date, providing invaluable insights into their self-perceptions and life chances. In this volume, an interdisciplinary team of researchers assess a survey of 12,000 sixteen- to thirty-year-olds from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.
