Typology of Iranian Youth Social Problems with Emphasis on Young Women Situation

Social changes have many consequential effects on social groups depending on their resources, potentials, and capacities. A group's reaction to social change varies with its power and status position in the society. This paper explores how actions, beliefs, and judgments of youth in distinctive circumstances of young adult years can provide an occasion for social problems. Focusing on the typical situation of Iranian young women, this paper proposes a conceptual framework to classify and analyze Iranian youth behaviours in general and young women behaviours in particular. The suggested framework seems to be potentially helpful in understanding the contexts and circumstances under which youth behaviours are viewed as a social problem. Documentary research method as well as secondary data analysis has been used for the present study.
