In Tunisia, the economic crisis is worsening day by day, leading to unprecedented social consequences. At the same time, there is a proliferation of risky behaviors among young people, such as addiction, violence, and migration.

However, these behaviors may have their roots in the impact of socio-economic conditions on the mental health of young people. This is a question that is rarely addressed in the media and academic studies, perhaps because many consider this age group to be "in the prime of life" and "at the height of their strength". Thus, the emphasis is placed on risky behaviors in security approaches that do not give much importance to mental health.

This study attempts to explore these vulnerable and "silent" groups in northern Tataouine, northern Kasserine, and the Kabaria delegation in Tunis, by analyzing their perceptions of themselves and their environment. It also aims to evaluate the role of state policies in the rise of these phenomena.

Interview with Olfa Lamloum, a political researcher, director of International Alert and coordinator of this study.

Talking papers

The Tunisian research scene at universities, other research centers, and civil society institutions produces dozens of valuable research papers each year. Nevertheless, this extensive production rarely finds its way to the general public and is only occasionally used to enrich the public debate. In a volatile political and social context, we try through this podcast to contribute to societal debates in Tunisia, by bringing to light, on each occasion, a research paper produced by a Tunisian researcher in humanities and social sciences, as well as in politics, economics, and law.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
