Features: The author conducts in-depth research on impoverished adolescents in Chinese urban families receiving the Minimum Living Guarantee through questionnaires and interviews. The study reveals that due to financial difficulties, these adolescents are affected to varying degrees in education, employment, personal and psychological development, family relationships, social life, and social participation, initially showing a trend of poverty cycles. On one hand, the author analyzes the issues faced by impoverished adolescents from perspectives such as economics, sociology, and psychology. On the other hand, the focus is on exploring ways and methods to address problems and meet needs from the angles of social policy and social work. The outstanding feature of this book lies in filling the research gap on the issues of impoverished adolescents in China. It is rich in data, offers thorough theoretical analysis, and proposes many operationally meaningful improvement strategies, making it highly valuable for theorists, policymakers, educators, and social workers dedicated to solving poverty and youth-related issues.
