"The article looks into youth work participation in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. While the focus is
on describing the link between participation in different activities and some characteristics of youth
development, the article also describes youth work in Tallinn.
The article looks at the link between participation in five distinct youth work activities (youth centres,
hobby education, youth projects, youth organisations, counseling) and three outcome variables: labor
market orientation, multiculturalism and youth voting.
The empirical analysis is based on a database of 1061 elementary and secondary school pupils that was
collected in Tallinn in spring 2010.
Analysis results indicate a positive relationship between youth work participation and levels of the
outcome variables. Thought not all regression coefficients were statistically significant, they consistently
pointed in the same direction. The findings are interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that youth
work participation does have a positive influence on youth development." (author's abstract)... view less
