This work is the result of theoretical and practical research and points out the privileged settings that lead the person towards human fulfillment and happiness. The first setting is the family, the educational setting par excellence, since the constitutive bonds of the personality such as paternity, maternity and filiation are established within it; the family is where each human being is recognized and loved and learns the proper exercise of his freedom. The school and the university constitute the second training setting of singular importance. In this, young people are helped to harmoniously develop intelligence, will and affections. This is done through formal education –scientific and humanistic– and those activities –such as volunteering or social service– that allow the expression of compassion, solidarity, artistic qualities, etc. Different areas of personal development that aim at the consolidation of virtuous leaders capable of building a culture of life that moves towards peace.

We present a detailed theoretical and methodological expertise for the implementation of the author's program for students “Safe Internet”. This program is relevant due to the need to study the effectiveness of comprehensive preventive work, including primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of Internet addiction among students in an integrated group in the conditions of the educational process at the university, since this approach helps to reduce the risk of the occurrence and development of this addiction in the student environment. We present the methodological basic principles of the program and its novelty, which fundamentally distinguishes the author's preventive program from similar ones. The form of organizing work with students in this direction and the content part of the program include three blocks: a block on working with the family (focused on educating the family); a block of personal development (focused on revealing students' personal resources that prevent the emergence or development of addiction); a leisure block (focused on productive employment of students and exciting leisure). We disclose and developed methodically each block. The structure of the program is built in such a way that the holistic and consistent implementation of all its constituent parts ensures that the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of Internet-addictive behavior among students is carried out simultaneously in the conditions of the university.

Most of the educational psychologists believe that co-education can help the young people to have their sexual instincts activated so that they could release their sexual emotions easily during puberty. In contrast, Islamic educational authorities in Iran strongly insist that children arriving elementary schools must be separated and the teachers and textbooks are chosen according to their sexes. Therefore, men are teaching in boys’ schools and women in girls’ schools. There has been great effort to include men's pictures in boys’ textbooks to prevent from the sexual arousal. As there are not enough universities in the country, the university candidates are mixed in their classes and courses. This can bring flame to the ashes of hidden sexuality and involve the students in abnormal behaviours to control or suppress them. The conflict of interaction with the opposite sex in university with that in the family setting or even society has been proved to create depression among the first year students especially those coming from small and closed environments and rural settings. The statistics of referrals to the counselling office in the university show that self-involvement to control sexual instincts have been the great concern of the students. They spend most of their time thinking about their classmates of different sexes. This paper aims to study the psychological and social outcomes of suppressed instincts for young people having entered the university and the effect on marriage.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The article presents the results of a study of the family prospects of modern youth for the period from 2011 to 2017. A tendency has been revealed to reorient young people from traditional family values, including the birth and upbringing of children, to creating a satisfying need for support, freedom, and self-development of the partnership. There is a reduction in the target saturation of family prospects for young people, the reduction in the content of their goals related to marital relations, while concentrating on the planning of personal development. The family prospects of Russian youth reflect their focus on creating in the future not a traditional patriarchal family, but a free alliance that implements emotional, psychological, as well as recreational functions and a safety function at the expense of the reproductive one.

This chapter discusses in what respects the different profiles of the university experience can be considered forms of inequalities. It shows that the inequality of the experience is shaped by the interplay between socio-economic backgrounds and ‘structures of welfare’ that are available to young people. The chapter describes for each profile illustrated in the previous chapter, the function of class and welfare mixes in reinforcing inequality. The chapter shows how negative experiences of young people during university arise, in particular, as a consequence of a ‘mismatch’ between the resources required during university, and what is available from the state, the family and the labour-market.

This chapter presents the different ‘profiles’ identified, showing the statements on which the different profiles (groups of students coming from the three countries) have agreed and disagreed. This part shows how the disagreement reflects the presence of different university experiences. The chapter explores in depth the main topics that have emerged from the study, showing the substantial differences in the university experiences of young people from the five profiles and comparing their positions in several areas: socio-economic background, welfare mixes (role of the family, state support, participation in the labour market during university) and the university experience (financial position, housing and accommodation, well-being, and education).

The Relationship

Abstract Despite institutional declarations, women still rank second in key areas of society related to employment. The goal of this study was to analyse the perceptions of Spanish women taking occupational training courses and of gender equality experts with respect to the relationship between initial formal education, occupational training, continuing education and employment, as well as the role played by the family in this relationship, in order to elucidate conceptions of women’s social reality in the fields of education and employment. A qualitative methodology was employed, consisting of semi-structured, in-depth individual and group interviews with women taking occupational training courses. Interviews were also conducted with experts in gender equality. Working women’s conception of the relationship between training and employment is heavily influenced by the effect of gender socialisation, which leads them to assume the role of carer in the family. Women’s choice of training presents a clear gender bias that directly influences the jobs they hold. In many cases, these comprise subsistence activities that coincide with traditional female roles. However, women with a higher education present less dependence on gender roles. Socialisation in gender stereotypes is evident in working women’s discourse, and generates frustration at the impossibility of reconciling all the areas of responsibility assigned to them, leading them to relinquish any expectations of professional or personal development.

Unemployment, lack of education and few opportunities are, but few of the factors that lead to young people in South Africa and elsewhere turning to crime. These young people face the law after being caught and they get incarcerated inthe correctional service centres. It seems that many of educational programmes aimed at rehabilitating young inmate offenders seem not being effective as some of these young inmate offenders become hardened criminals through institutionalization in correctional service centres. This paper thus, explored the views of inmate young offenders of the benefits of educational programmesthey derived while incarcerated in South Africa. The young inmate offenders‟ age ranged from 17 years to 27years, 5 females and8 males. A qualitative phenomenological research method was used with a sample of 6 inmate young offenders to describe young inmate offenders‟ views of benefits they derive from educational programmes in correctional centres. Based on the available and access to the participants a purposive sample was employed for this research study.An open-ended questionnaire instrument which contained a set of a variety of questions on benefits of educational programmes were completed by the research participants. Toconduct this study in line with ethical considerations, permission was given by the university‟s ethical committee and later the Department of Correctional Services allowed the study to be conducted in their correctional centres. Data that was thematically analysed discovered educational programmes offered and availed to inmate young offenders to be beneficial. The study showed that although formal education was offered,the educational programmes faced many other challenges which were also mentioned in other studies and even in this study the offenders pointed them out, e.g.lack of resources and shortage of staff.The study also revealed that the rehabilitation programme played a critical role inreducing gangformation and fights in the entire inmate community. The collaboration of the state, community, family members of the offenders, churches, traditional leaders and non-profit organisations is required in rehabilitation of the IYO.
