Bounded agency and social participation: how socioeconomic situation and experiences infl uence young people’s way of engaging in society

This chapter presents data from the PROMISE Youth Survey gathered as part of PROMISE, a Horizon 2020 research project addressing the social participation of young people in conflict with authority. Building on the work of Evans ( 2002 ), Ekman and Amnå (2012) and Munford and Sanders ( 2015 ), we develop the concept of social participation to provide a broader, context- based defi nition that allows us to explore a diverse range of youth activities. Our analysis explores the diverse forms of social participation and the factors that can influence young people´s agency and ability to engage. We highlight the extent to which young people´s agency is bound by their experience and current social context, and assess under which circumstances those experiences can become an enabler of engagement.
