Engaging young people in secondary analysis of data from street youth
Contributing to methodologies supporting participant analysis, the Youth Engagement in Analysis Programme (YEAP) trialled secondary data use in qualitative analysis (using NVivo) with pupils (aged 16-17) in a Scottish state school. Using extracts on trust from a longitudinal participatory research project involving street children and youth in three African cities, YEAP demonstrated young people can co-produce analysis across geographical and cul…
Understanding atypical resilience enablers of street youth in Harare, Zimbabwe
There is limited understanding of the circumstances leading street youth to rely on atypical resilience enablers. Atypical resilience enablers are unconventional strategies, often negatively judged by society or the law, which allow street youth to survive on the streets. We respond to this knowledge gap by documenting a 2REST study (Responsibilities for Resilience Embedded in Street Temporalities), exploring atypical resilience enablers of Harar…
Conceptualising street youth lived resilience in African cities
Youth, embedded in street life in African cities, experience multiple daily and longer-term stressors which impact their socio-economic circumstances and capacities to meet their basic needs. Urban contexts of high unemployment, inequality, and poverty result in homeless youth, often with incomplete schooling, unable to secure a decent living through hustling in the informal economy, access safe spaces to sleep, nutritious food, and subject to vi…
Mapping multisystemic protective resources supporting resilience among street youth
Street youth face and overcome multiple challenges. While these challenges are well-documented, also in systematic reviews, the resources facilitating street youth resilience to these challenges have not been synthesized. To close this gap, we conducted a systematic scoping review of studies reporting street youth experiences of resources that enabled them to effectively cope with street-related challenges. Scoping the literature involved a syste…
Exploring a Scalar Nexus Approach to Understanding Environmental Change Around Refugee Settlements in Uganda
Drawing on interdisciplinary research employing social and natural sciences methods in two Ugandan refugee settlements, this article explores complex interactions between displacement and environmental change. Contributing to political ecological debates around scale, and employing a nexus thinking lens, this article conceptualizes a scalar nexus connecting a relational settlement communities nexus and a global or intraregional sustainability sca…
Crisis temporalities and ongoing capabilities in the lives of young people growing up on the streets of African cities
Understanding young people's lives through a focus on their micro‐geographies has been central for exercising young people's voices through research. However, such a focus has also neglected the multiple and complex realities of growing up that ripple throughout their lives, resulting in calls for more research to go beyond capturing daily snapshots of experience. This paper acknowledges that decades of research with and for young people living o…
Realising Capabilities for Street Young People in Harare, Zimbabwe
Living in social contexts characterised by poverty and inequality, street young people have limited access to healthcare, water sanitation and hygiene services; exacerbating effects of ill health, infections, lack of nutrition and substance abuse that undermine their wellbeing. In Harare, Zimbabwe, they are also excluded from Social Protection Programmes (SPPs) which potentially assist other impoverished Zimbabweans, two-thirds of whom live below…
Creating stories for impact
This paper explores co‐production of knowledge for impact with young people through the process of creating digital story maps, drawing on co‐produced research from two projects: with homeless youth in African cities; and with youth refugees in Uganda and Jordan. It examines the process of creating three story maps with the intention of enabling young people to co‐produce knowledge exchange and research impact. Participants were able to engage in…
Considering an agency-vulnerability nexus in the lives of street children and youth
This article seeks to engage in a critical debate around the sociocultural contexts and academic understandings of agency and vulnerability. It proposes an agency–vulnerability nexus as a useful conceptual tool to consider these linked concepts and how they have been related in the literature on children and youth and across social and cultural contexts. We use the term ‘nexus’ as we seek to explore ‘agency’ and ‘vulnerability’ not as antonymic b…
Youth transitions in protracted crises
Youth displaced from home by war, civil conflict, and poverty face a difficult transition into adulthood. Their ability to access education, employment, and social adulthood is often disrupted, restricted, and delayed. Yet, despite youth making up a large percentage of refugees in Africa and the Middle East, their specific circumstances are rarely considered. While international humanitarian and development programming aims to respond to the disr…
The influence of peer relationships on young people's sexual health in Sub-Saharan African street contexts
Street citizenship’
Street-living youth are deprived of formal citizenship due to their age and exclusion from school or other state apparatus through which cultural/moral values are shared. Drawing on participatory longitudinal data from research in three African cities, this paper explores a nuanced ‘street citizenship’ as facilitated through informal processes and spaces, suggesting ‘street citizenship’ can be active and sometimes activist, with the potential to …
Learning on Harare’s streets under Covid-19 lockdown
The COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate economic consequences on the urban poor, particularly on young people living on the streets. As the pandemic moves from acute to chronic phases, novel methodologies can be used to rapidly co-produce outputs and share learning opportunities with those living in urban poverty. A “story map” focusing on the effects of the pandemic and lockdown was co-produced by UK researchers with street children and y…
The Effects of Limited Work Opportunities on Transitions to Adulthood among Young Refugees in Uganda and Jordan
Young people constitute more than half of global refugee populations, yet there is limited research into the impact of displacement on transitions into adult life. With the average period of protracted displacement extending beyond 20 years, insight is needed into how the experience of being a refugee shapes the expectations and lives of young people. This article examines the effects of weak and restricted labour markets on the transitions of yo…
Young People's Constructions of Self
The article examines the use of photo‐elicitation methods in an ESRC‐funded study of young consumers. Participants were asked to take photographs of consumer items that were significant to them. These were subsequently used in recorded interviews as a trigger to elicit the discussion of the relationship between consumer goods and identity. The analysis focuses on how the features of visual representation influence the versions of identity that ar…
Style Failure
Recent studies of youth culture suggest that consumption is central to the construction of adolescent identities. Many of these studies have focused on the links between consumption, style and identity, and have concluded that style is a crucial means of sustaining and defining group boundaries. Drawing on a series of group interviews with young people from an ESRC-funded study of young consumers, we focus here on the causes and consequences of b…
