Despite the traditional focus on female-related indicators, there is a clear gender dimension to the problems of at-risk youth, since young boys and girls engage in different kinds of risky behaviors and in different ways. Boys and girls also tend to engage differently with schools, communities, and the labor market. This implies that programs and policies need to be designed and implemented with different approaches and tools to benefit and to reach effectively both girls and boys. 2012-08-13T10:39:23Z 2012-08-13T10:39:23Z 2010-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/06/12810854/boys-risk-gender-issue-caribbean-requiring-multi-faceted-cross-sectoral-approach http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10181 English en breve; No. 158 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean
