Reviews
`This is a most useful contribution to the understanding of the upheaval that is shaking the Arab world, a diligent investigation whose value is enhanced by the dearth of reliable statistical sociological surveys of the region.' Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London, author of The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising; `Youth in the Middle East continue to figure prominently in both political dissent and economic deprivation. The surveys and analyses in this book provide some of the best sources to understand the status of Arab youth in the years after the Arab Spring.' Asef Bayat, University of Illinois, author of Revolution without Revolutionaries: Making Sense of the Arab Spring

Asef Bayat, University of Illinois, author of Revolution without Revolutionaries: Making Sense of the Arab Spring; `This study presents the results of a 2016 survey of Arabs aged 16 to 30 [which] offer cause for hope.' Foreign Affairs; `Hopefully, this book will be read by government officials, people working in developmental aid organisations and others trying to address socio-economic issues related to youth in the MENA region. Because it is so concrete, so well researched and carefully evaluated, this study could be a large help in going beyond platitudes to find tangible solutions for the precarious status of youth today.' Jordan Times; `A highly important source for those who would like to read an empirical study and a detailed description/portrayal of the youth in the MENA region ... a valuable contribution' TRT World Research Centre
