An edited collection with fresh approaches to tech and youth well-being that go beyond blame and simplistic solutions.

The relationship between technology use and youth well-being has been a topic of concern—and contention—for some time. The adolescent mental health crisis has amplified the debate to a fever pitch. But the relationship between technology use and well-being can’t be reduced to the question of whether social media and other technologies are good or bad. Finding effective solutions needs to be grounded in the broader and diverse realities of young people’s lives. Youth Well-Being by Design, edited by Carrie James and Mizuko Ito, shifts the conversation in productive directions, to move beyond the unproductive finger-pointing at tech, technologically determinist narratives, and fixation on sweeping, one-size-fits-all solutions that often do more harm than good.
