    About this ebook

    Young people are the basis for the future health and well being of their communities. Recognizing the critical role of young people to the security of sustainable development, this report brings attention to both the important contributions youth have made to Caribbean society and the critical challenges they face in assuming socially responsible and productive roles.The report uses an ‘ecological’ framework to consider negative behaviors and outcomes observed among Caribbean Youth, and also identify ways to enhance positive influences. Casting aside the often narrow view taken of ‘youth’ as a marginal issue, the report advocates the prioritization of youth development across all sectors, and identifies key principles and actions for moving forward.
