When a country has a high proportion of its population in the young adult ages it is said to have a youth bulge. This can be a challenge because it can lead to conflict and violence or, depending on the size and trajectory of the bulge and on a society s reaction to it, an opportunity. This anthology lays out the underlying framework of youth bulges and presents 12 influential articles that discuss the ways in which such a demographic phenomenon can work to the advantage or disadvantage of a society.
