Youth in Central and Eastern Europe

The Editorial Office of Youth in Central and Eastern Europe (YCEE) invites researchers specialising in youth studies to submit scholarly Commentaries inspired by the recently published report "Diagnoza Młodzieży 2026. Report and Recommendations".

Prepared by experts from the Polish Association of Social Policy (Polskie Towarzystwo Polityki Społecznej), the report is one of the most comprehensive recent studies on the situation of young people in Poland. It synthesises evidence from more than 200 research studies conducted between 2020 and 2025 and addresses key issues related to education, mental health, social relationships, civic engagement, digital life, employment, and the transition to adulthood.

The Editorial Board of YCEE expresses its appreciation to the authors for preparing this important publication and hopes that it will stimulate further scholarly discussion on contemporary youth issues.
