abstract: 'Globally, young people are a major demographic group and a key
constituency in socioeconomic policy considerations. However, in a
neoliberal era, the social inclusion of youth is in jeopardy. This
qualitative study explored young people''s connectedness to community and
opportunities for social inclusion in Newfoundland and Labrador. The
perspectives of social capital, social exclusion, and sense of community
provided a theoretical framework for the study. A purposive sample of 23
youth aged 15 to 24 years provided data through interviews, which we
analyzed inductively, using thematic analysis. We found that young
people connected to their communities through informal associations and
non-profit organizations. These structures provided networks of
supportive relationships and inclusive spaces, where young people felt a
sense of belonging, and had opportunities for participation.
Opportunities took the form of resources and activities that promoted
personal growth and community building. For example, through
associations and non-profit organizations, participants engaged in
general educational development, entrepreneurial training, part-time and
volunteer work, and advocacy. However, participants also reported some
barriers to inclusion in their communities. Personal level factors, such
as illness and environmental level factors, such as low-income and
social stigma were barriers to inclusion. These findings provide a basis
for policymakers and practitioners to promote youth social inclusion in
Newfoundland and Labrador.'
