The paper focuses on two of the main trades with young women in sub-Saharan have typically entered : hair-dressing and dressmaking. Through drawing on a qualitative case study of hairdressers and seam-stresses in Ghana, it is shown how the two

Political and social divisions over climate change among young Queenslanders
Attitude ; Australia ; Climatic change ; Climatic warming ; Environment ; Political geography ; Political party ; Queensland ; Young people
This article examines the political and social divisions over climate change among young Queenslanders. Firstly, it shows that parental education has an important influence upon the development of environmental attitudes among young people
, with the children of tertiary-educated parents much more likely than others to be concerned about planetary warming. Secondly, that a strong gender divide is also apparent, with young women consistently more concerned about ‘the environment’ than young men
are. Political party identification has an important influence upon environmental concerns even among these 16–17-year olds, with young conservative party identifiers far less likely than Greens or Labor identifiers to believe that global warming will pose

This article traces how young Muslim and Buddhist Ladakhis in Ladakh’s Leh District are constituted as a category and site of territorial potential, and how they navigate and elude this positioning. I suggest that parents, political actors
and religious leaders conceive of the young as crucial to the constitution of future territories. This makes their bodies a site of intense anxiety and regulation, as well as hope and potential. I offer the concept of generational vertigo, a mixture
of apprehension and anticipation regarding the future, and suggest that attending to how and why this vertigo is manifest provides a way to think through relationships between young people, time and territory. The future is located in the volatile bodies of young

The article addresses patterns of spatial inequality for the life chances of young people in an industrialised rural area in Flanders (Belgium). Two patterns of inequality are studied. The first is an inherited pattern of inequality between

The Holocene development of the Young Coastal Plain of Suriname
A new series of 19 radiocarbon dates from the Holocene Young Coastal plain in Suriname fits into the picture of a rapid sea-level rise in this area until about 6000 B.P. From 6000 B.P. onward the sea-level remained essentially at its present
position. Indication for a higher position of the sea-level at about 6500 B.P. are inconclusive. From about 6500 B.P. onward the marine influence in the interior part of the Young Coastal Plain diminished, but some marine oscillations were registered
. The available evidence is too limited to permit pertinent conclusions about the regional occurrence of marine fluctuations. From an analysis of the younger Holocene development in the Hertenrits area it is concluded that a new subdivision has to be established
Reconceptualising temporality in young lives : exploring young people's current and future livelihoods in AIDS-affected southern Africa
AIDS ; Educational level ; Health ; Household ; Lesotho ; Livelihood ; Livestock farming ; Malawi ; Social geography ; Temporality ; Young people
This paper explores links between the impacts of AIDS and young people's livelihood prospects in two villages, one in southern Malawi and the other in the mountains of Lesotho. Drawing on the concept of livelihood trajectories, it focuses
on the ways in which young people respond to both the immediate sustenance requirements of themselves and their households and their need to accrue assets for future livelihoods. . Beyond addressing empirical questions concerning the impacts of AIDS
