Abstract

This article will intriduce the special issue on youth and leisure, which is actually not one single issue but will transpire over three issues of JPRA. A number of papers were submitted for this special issue, indicating a high interest in the topic. It also meant that one issue could not contain all of the papers. Therefore, accepted articles have been grouped thematically and will appear sequentially in future issues. My coments in this introductory article will be brief, descriptive, and general. After the last grouping of articles is published, I will summarize and make some specific observations about the contributions of all of the papers to the field's knowledge and practice.
