Youth at Risk in Latin America and the Caribbean : Understanding the Causes, Realizing the Potential Paperback / softback
by Wendy Cunningham, Linda McGinnis, Rodrigo Garcia Verdu, Cornelia Tesliuc
Paperback / softback
Description
Youth at Risk in Latin America provides evidence-based guidance to policymakers that will help increase the effectiveness of their youth investment program.
Drawing on the authors' detailed analyses, the book describes twenty-three policies and programs that youth development experts agree are the basis of a quality youth development portfolio, from early childhood development programs to parent training to cash transfers for positive behaviors.
It also lays out strategies for implementing this effective youth portfolio in a budget-constrained environment by reallocation of resources away from ineffective programs, collection and use of data on program effectiveness, and implementation of the portfolio by a diverse set of actors based on their comparative advantages.
