Years after the Arab uprisings, the social situation has deteriorated across the Middle East and North Africa. Political, economic and personal insecurities have expanded, income from oil has declined and tourist revenues have collapsed due to instability. Against a backdrop of escalating armed conflicts and disintegrating state structures, millions have become internally displaced or refugees.

In this landmark volume, an international interdisciplinary team of researchers assess a survey of 9,000 16- to 30-year-olds from Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen, resulting in the most comprehensive, in-depth study of young people in the MENA region to date. Given how rapidly events have moved in the Middle East and North Africa, the findings are in many regards unexpected.
