The youth of the world are our most important assets. When youth
develop positively, they have the power to benefit themselves,
their families, communities, and societies. These tremendous
benefits accrue for many generations, so investments in youth
represent a highly cost-effective opportunity for positive change.
This is the first volume to focus globally on the effects of social
and economic change on youth, and on the opportunity to support
youth through policy, programs, and interventions to develop
positively despite challenges. The chapters in this volume
highlight research demonstrating youth assets and resilience as
well as programs and interventions that increase the likelihood
that youth will thrive. Many chapters also draw attention to
opportunities for youth leadership, helping youth to develop their
strengths as they benefit their communities. Additional chapters
focus on promoting optimal youth development in the presence of
adversity, risk, or challenge, taking into consideration the
potential and capacity of the young person. Finally, the ecological
system theory is a strong influence in many chapters that examine
the inter-relationship of different social contexts such as family,
peers, school, and work. Positive Youth Development in Global
Contexts of Social and Economic Change is both a vision for the
future and an ideology supported by a new international vocabulary
for engaging with youth development. Developed by researchers
across interdisciplinary fields, the volume has enormous policy
implications for lawmakers given the surge in youth population in
many parts of the world.
