Abstract

Young people do not necessarily view uncertainty in their lives as negative, especially those most marginalised youth who see their certainty as poverty, unemployment and environmental fragility. Youth perspectives presented in this book show how some of the most marginalised young people seek 'positive uncertainty' by escape from traditional practices and social bonds in families and communities, through migration or seeking alternative ways to meet peer, adult and societal expectations.
