Details

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) commissioned Alma Economics to undertake a rapid evidence assessment (REA) around youth social action. The aims of the research were to explore:

  • the causes of participation in youth social action and policy implications
  • the impact of youth social action on outcomes for young people

The REA reviewed 87 studies published after 2012 which focused on children and young people aged 10-20. Studies were from the UK, other OECD countries and EU-27 countries.
