There had been no youth study in China until the early 1990s in the academic meaning. In addition to the attention paid to youth cultivation and education, it plays an important part tointroduce relatively mature foreign theories and methods of youth studies to obtain consulting and enlightening. China's youth study requires the method of comparative research, for it is firstly the need of China's social development and then the need of disciplinary development. The key step to precede China and foreign youth comparative studies is classification and concatenation. To make classification is to make concatenation, and then to build comparable relationship between the similar parts of China and abroad, that is, to define the comparability of both sides in time, space and characteristics.
