This handbook examines positive youth development (PYD) in youth
and emerging adults from an international perspective. It focuses
on large and underrepresented cultural groups across six continents
within a strengths-based conception of adolescence that considers
all youth as having assets. The volume explores the ways in which
developmental assets, when effectively harnessed, empower youth to
transition into a productive and resourceful adulthood. The book
focuses on PYD across vast geographical regions, including Europe,
Asia, Africa, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, North America,
and Latin America as well as on strengths and resources for optimal
well-being. The handbook addresses the positive development of
young people across various cultural contexts to advance research,
policy, and practice and inform interventions that foster continued
thriving and reduce the chances of compromised youth development.
It presents theoretical perspectives and supporting empirical
findings to promote a more comprehensive understanding of PYD from
an integrated, multidisciplinary, and multinational perspective.
