ABSTRACT: Under the background of social transition and
globalization, vulnerable youth in China is quite disadvantaged in the public
activities. Based on the ecological system perspective, this paper examines the
situation of vulnerable youth in Tianjin, one of the five municipalities
directly under the Central Government in China, by the qualitative-quantitative
mixed method. Findings show that the disadvantage of vulnerable youth is caused
by the shortage of economy resource, culture resource and information resource,
which the groups can not obtain sufficiently from family system, school system,
work system and community system by successful transaction. Some suggestions
for social policies and further research are set forth accordingly.
