Ass. Prof. Malcolm Keswell talked about “Youth Empowerment in Marginalized Communities” at a symposium on “Social Mobility and Inequality in South Africa”, co-hosted by the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung South Africa Office.

Talking about the behavioral responses of youth in poor communities, Keswell said reduced depression in men has surprising consequence for trustworthiness. It leads women to be more trusting.
