What are the problems that concern young people today? How do young people cope? This book presents the findings of a team of international researchers, including both social scientists and practitioners, who have surveyed more than 5000 youths in twelve countries in order to find answers to these vital questions.

· Part I outlines the innovative research methods and theories underpinning the study, including the central 'invervention research paragdigm'
· Part II offers a composite portrait of concerns and coping strategies across the survey, examining trends by socioeconomic status and gender
· Part III provides detailed case-studies from Brazil, Canada, China, India, Israel, Japan, England, the US, Russia, Greece, Venezuela and the Philippines
· Part IV examines special youth populations, both immigrant and impoverished
· Part V draws conclusions and implications for theory and practice, and offers a baseis from which helping professionals can develop successful interventions and practices
