Abstract
Brazilian young people are well on their
way to becoming productive and contributing members of
society. Three-quarters of young Brazilians surveyed
responded that they are happy with themselves and with their
lives. And they have the numbers to make substantial
contributions to the present and future of their society --
19 percent of the Brazilian population is aged 15 to 24 and
Brazilian young people comprise one-third of the youth
population of Latin America. This report is the first volume
of a two-volume series. The second volume is a technical
report that presents the statistical results in detail. This
first volume summarizes the 100-page second volume. It gives
a brief review of the report's empirical findings and
of the correspondence to youth development policy and
programming in Brazil.
