Negotiating Social Change

The Paradox of Youth

JOHANNA WYN

The University of Melbourne

ROB WHITE

University of Tasmania

This article explores paradoxical elements in the relationship between youth and society. It argues that researchers need to take account of both the distinctive circumstances of the post-1970 generation and the new approaches they are developing to make a life. It argues that questions about how social structures and social divisions affect young people's life patterns need to recognize the ways in which young people themselves are responding to new realities.
