Abstract	This book originates from a conference of the Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils and contains writings and research reports on Youth in Transition in the Asia and Pacific region. The definition of "youth" varies from country to country and ranges between the ages of 10 to 35. The publication summarizes issues in the region, generally regarded as a critical stage before adulthood. Due to local requirements and the development stage of countries in the region, the focus of adolescent studies deals with a wide range of topics such as indigenous people, rural-urban migration, lifestyle, population policy, and technology. Statistics also show that the current generation of youth is immensely different from its predecessors as a result of improved healthcare, rise of technology, and globalization. The differences cover not just livelihood factors such as marriage, sexuality, habits, or employment but also the bigger picture including demographics and culture. Economic development and technology have given rise to a new breed of youth in the Asia and Pacific region where some of them became promising entrepreneurs, political/community leaders, city dwellers, or some just choose to cling to a more traditional existence. Following an introduction (Stephanie Fahey and Fay Gale), papers in this document include: (1) Youth in Asia: An overview (Yogesh Atal); (2) Youth, Cultures and Societies in Transition: The Challenges of Growing up in a Globalized World (Jeffrey Jensen Arnett); (3) Global Cultural Change and Young People's Wellbeing (Richard Eckersley); (3) Globalisation and an Epidemic: The Consequences of HIV/AIDS for Young People (Doreen Rosenthal); (4) A Demographic View of Changing Youth in Asia (Graeme Hugo); (5) Generational Change and Cyberpolitics in Asia (Stephanie Fahe); (6) Indigenous Australian Young Peoples: The Winds of Change (Gregory Phillips); (7) Are Youths Moving Forward?
