“…Since the scientific evidence suggests that ICT resources have the greatest potential to empower youth and thereby raise their well-being (Loebach, 2019), and also because youth experiencing greater sense of holistic well-being are more able to learn and assimilate in effective ways (Clement, 2010;Wang & Degol, 2016); more likely to engage in healthy and fulfilling social behaviors (Poulou & Norwich, 2019), and more likely to invest in their own and others' wellbeing and in the sustainability of the planet as they embrace their social, professional and leadership roles in adulthood (Scales et al, 2016), each country will have to find a way to better assist its youth in this regard, while collaborating with regional country members in a concerted effort to assist not only each country in its own development path, but also the region as a whole to live up to its growth potential by the 2030.…”

“…Moreover, a review of the current scientific evidence on the availability, access, and usage consequences of ICT on various dimensions of youth life are split in their conclusions (Burr et al, 2019;Crompton et al, 2017;Dickson et al, 2019;Newland et al, 2018;Orben & Przybylski, 2019;Parry et al, 2020;Vannucci & Ohannessian, 2019;Xin et al, 2018). Two major trends seem to dominate however, those reporting adverse effects on youth psychological well-being (Dhir et al, 2019;Elhai et al, 2019;Marino et al, 2018;Sha et al, 2019;Sindermann et al, 2020), physical well-being (Domoff et al, 2019;Rodgers et al, 2020) and those reporting an overall positive effect of ICT use by the youth (Cangas, 2019;Goodall et al, 2013;James et al, 2017;Loebach et al, 2019;Loid et al, 2020).…”

“…Although less so in the Middle East region (Tiliouine & Meziane, 2017), the influence of ICT on youth well-being has received the attention of scholars in the recent past (Crompton et al, 2017;Newland et al, 2018;Loebach et al, 2019;Parry et al, 2020). Overall however, this effect is better understood within the context of the determinants of youth well-being, which can be categorized into internal (subjective) factors, and external (objective) factors (Strelhow et al, 2019).…”

Youth Access to ICT Resources and Subjective Well-being in the Middle East: A Spatial Bivariate Copula Regression Analysis

Target 9.c of the 2015 United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) specifically addresses increasing access to information and communication technology (ICT) resources, and striving for universal access to the internet by 2020. The present study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the youth related national strategies implemented in this regard by a select number of countries in the Middle East region. The study does so, by relying on a spatial bivariate copula regression analysis of data on youth respondents from five countries, extracted from the 2018 Program for international students’ assessment (PISA). Focusing specifically on evaluating the availability of ICT resources to the youth population, and also identifying the impact of ICT resources on youth subjective well-being in the region, we find that except for the UAE and Qatar that have above OECD average youth performance on the ICT resource index, youth from the remaining countries reported below OECD level average access to ICT resources. The within region cross-country comparative analysis of ICT resources availability to the youth population at home, also highlighted significant heterogeneity across the five countries, post 2015 SDG adoption by UN country members. Furthermore, looking at the impact of ICT resources on youth well-being, controlling for not only cross-country spatial correlations, and factors such as home educational resources, cultural possessions at home, parental occupation status, youth expected occupation status, economic and socio-cultural status, age, gender, and grade level in school; we found that every standard deviation increase in ICT resources to the youth population in the region raises their self-expressed sense of belonging in school by 1.88% standard deviations. Given the empowering nature of ICT resources to youth, and the potential of both to support national as well as regional economic development initiatives, a concerted effort to ease ICT resources diffusion by member countries in the middle east region could assist not only each country in its own development path, but also the region as a whole to live up to its growth potential by the 2030.

“…Honouring context entails meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities who hold valuable understandings, approaches and resources to support the healing of Indigenous youth. It is essential that practitioners enter into the life-spaces of young people within their communities rather than regarding youth as isolated from these spaces, cultures, and traditions (Loebach et al, 2019).…”

This paper introduces an integrative (or braided) approach to Indigenous youth mental health, designed in response to a synthesis of knowledge from three systematic literature reviews and four informant consultations with mental health providers in various disciplines. The braided approach includes core principles of Indigenous Healing models (IH), Child and Youth Care (CYC) approaches, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) practices. The purpose of this approach is to best serve the mental and spiritual health needs of Indigenous youth across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings of this research project informed the design and implementation of an online Indigenous youth mental health program, which is discussed in relation to the research.

“…Importantly however, the literature on digital media influence on youth's well-being remains divided [64][65][66][67]. Although some authors report digital technology use among youths to have positive effects on their well-being [68][69][70][71][72]; Others report adverse effects on youth psychological well-being [73][74][75][76][77][78] and physical well-being [79,80].…”

Despite revolutionizing the work of practicing economists by providing a direct link between neo-classical economic theory and revealed market preference data, Random Utility Theory has yet to guide research applications in global market sustainability. With the worldwide adverse socio-economic effects of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), such application now becomes timely. Therefore, relying on a Random Utility theoretic formulation of youths’ preferences for the biosphere (ecosystem services, sustainability) and science-based disease prevention to characterize their planetary health interests, this paper adopts a micro-based planetary view of markets to retrospectively analyze the health and ecological implications of digital media consumption among youths in the global economy. Empirically, we rely on a mixed bivariate ordered probit specification, which is estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Our findings reveal a strong, positive correlation coefficient (0.835) between youths’ interests in the biosphere and science-based disease prevention. Moreover, digital media consumption in the form of increased frequency of ecological website visits, news blogs visits, and web-browsing on broad science, significantly reduce youths’ interests in the biosphere. A similar reduction in youths’ interest in science-based disease prevention is observed, from news blogs visits and web-browsing on broad science. Conversely, ecological website visits appear to raise youths’ interests in science-based disease prevention. Furthermore, we find a gender-based gradient in youths’ planetary health interest, in favor of the female gender. Overall, our findings confirm the appropriateness of a holistic view of health, and suggests a couple of policy implications for the long-term sustainability of our planet.
