About the Book:
The FES MENA Youth Study, conducted by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in the Middle East and North Africa in 2021/22, ties in with the content of the first survey conducted five years earlier. It provides new insights into the life chances, self-image and future prospects of 12,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 30 from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.
The book presents in-depth analyses of the survey results by Mathias Albert, Lisa Maria Franke, Jörg Gertel, Katharina Grüneisl, David Kreuer, Carola Richter, Christoph H. Schwarz, Nadine Sika, Thorsten Spengler, Friederike Stolleis and Ann-Christin Zuntz. The book is available in German (Verlag J.H.W. Dietz) as well as in its translations to English (Saqi Books 2024) and Arabic (Dar al-Saqi 2024).
