This study interrogates the conceptual frameworks surrounding young people's livelihood strategies, particularly focusing on those contending with acute insecurity and precariousness in Global South. A bibliometric analysis provides a critical evaluation of shifting landscape future work, revealing substantive gaps literature related to people, their wellbeing, livelihoods. These are most pronounced articulation components interconnections sustainable development, equitable energy transitions. Addressing these lacunae, enhances understanding access within livelihoods research advocates for integration Relational Well-Being approach. underscores salience relationality comprehending livelihoods, seeking provide an objective nuanced interplay between strategies multifarious aspects wellbeing. In particular, delineates three pivotal categories research: examining impact social relationships community networks wellbeing people; identifying barriers facilitators prism Well-Being; exploring how framework can refine existing conceptualisations aimed at forging interventions. By critically engaging definitions scope “young people” scholarly inquiry, this fosters deeper engagement lived realities, Well-Being, expanded emphasis The outcome develops twenty possible studies from data analysed.

Electricity access is essential for small enterprise operations and economic development in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has one lowest electrification rates globally, placing undue constraints on country's enterprises. Efforts are currently underway to improve electricity DRC throughout sub-Saharan Africa using decentralized solar mini grids. Their effect energy remains largely unexplored, particularly urban settings. We address this gap by evaluating impact a recently established grid an un-electrified district city Goma. use case-control study design assess adequacy supply sample 128 qualitatively similar Cases include enterprises connected newly constructed operated private service provider. control group includes long-standing parastatal utility grid. analyze indicators availability usage, reliability, perceived affordability, overall satisfaction, value construct profile characteristics across two groups. find that from provides significantly improved compared existing public evidenced more hours electricity, consistently strong voltage levels, fewer outages. However, expensive. Our results confirm investment grids viable solution African cities. heavily investing as alternative building out connectivity.
