The objectives of the report are threefold, it aims to 1) identify the risk and protective factor and determinats of youth behaviors and development, 2) demonstrate that the negative behaviors of youth are costly, not only to the youth themselves but to society as a whole, and 3) identifies key intervention points for youth development, taking into account identified risk and protective factors for the Caribbean. For the purpose of the study, youth is defined as spanning the adolescent period from 10 to 24 years of age. Youth or adolescent development thus refers to the physical, social, and emotional processes of maturation from childhood to adulthood, with biological processes riving the initiation of adolescence and social factors largely determining the initiation of adulthood. The study uses an "ecological" framework to demonstrate the linkages between a) the under-lying risk and protective factors of youth behaviors, b) youth outcomes, and c) subsequent adult outcomes. It is termed "ecological" because the framework shows the relationship between the individual adolescent and his or her environment. Risk factors are those factors that increase the likelihood of experiencing negative outcomes. Protective factors counterbalance the risk factors. 2013-08-19T17:22:21Z 2013-08-19T17:22:21Z 2003-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/05/2357422/caribbean-youth-development-issues-policy-directions 0-8213-5518-X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15165 English en_US World Bank Country Study; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication Latin America & Caribbean |

This report examines youth development
in the Caribbean today. The objectives of the report are
threefold, it aims to 1) identify the risk and protective
factor and determinats of youth behaviors and development,
2) demonstrate that the negative behaviors of youth are
costly, not only to the youth themselves but to society as a
whole, and 3) identifies key intervention points for youth
development, taking into account identified risk and
protective factors for the Caribbean. For the purpose of the
study, youth is defined as spanning the adolescent period
from 10 to 24 years of age. Youth or adolescent development
thus refers to the physical, social, and emotional processes
of maturation from childhood to adulthood, with biological
processes riving the initiation of adolescence and social
factors largely determining the initiation of adulthood. The
study uses an "ecological" framework to
demonstrate the linkages between a) the under-lying risk and
protective factors of youth behaviors, b) youth outcomes,
and c) subsequent adult outcomes. It is termed
"ecological" because the framework shows the
relationship between the individual adolescent and his or
her environment. Risk factors are those factors that
increase the likelihood of experiencing negative outcomes.
Protective factors counterbalance the risk factors. |
