Lebanon, National Case Study
SAHWA National Case Study
These report summaries the main findings of the Lebanon ethnographic team. The report offers insights into the following clusters:
- Education: conflicting education and the effects of public and private education upon the opportunities of young people
- Employment: the relationship between education and employment opportunities
- Youth values and cultures: the desire to have fun and for spaces to be creative and imagine.
In accordance with the broader SAHWA objectives, the aim of the Lebanese research team is to think critically about what it means to be young in Lebanon today. An anthropological study of this kind can provide us with a unique lens through which to explore the political, economic and social dynamics that are informing, impacting and restricting the decisions that young people in Lebanon are able to make today—and particularly as they prepare for the future.
