Young People in Transition is written by C. Pole and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0230597777 (ISBN 10) and 9780230597778 (ISBN 13).

The essays in this collection represent a major contribution to our understanding of youth and transitions to key areas of adult citizenship, including employment, independent living arrangements and political participation. The education of children and young people in 'citizenship' usually emphasizes either rights or responsibilities, through the concept of 'active citizenship'. The central concern of the book is to address the tensions and contradictions between the teaching of active citizenship and the real life difficulties many young people face in the practical transition to being adult citizens in modern life.
