Impulses for a political agenda from the National Research Programme Childhood, Youth and Intergenerational Relationships (NRP 52)
Editor: the steering comitee (june 2007)
Within the NRP 52 overall 29 research projects were conducted. Their evidence-based propositions for political action in the field of childhood and youth are summarised in the brochure «Impulses for a political agenda».
With this brochure we intended to bridge the gap between research and policy. Its addressees are mainly policy makers on national and local level, public institutions and persons interested in a future-oriented policy approach that encompasses all generations.
