Cohan, Lorena M.Cunningham, WendyNaudeau, SophieMcGinnis, Linda2016-03-312016-03-312008https://hdl.handle.net/10986/23988The World Bank has produced this policy Toolkit in response to a growing demand from our government clients and partners for advice on how to create and implement effective policies for at-risk youth. The author has highlighted 22 policies (six core policies, nine promising policies, and seven general policies) that have been effective in addressing the following five key risk areas for young people around the world: (i) youth unemployment, underemployment, and lack of formal sector employment; (ii) early school leaving; (iii) risky sexual behavior leading to early childbearing and HIV/AIDS; (iv) crime and violence; and (v) substance abuse. The objective of this Toolkit is to serve as a practical guide for policy makers in middle-income countries as well as professionals working within the area of youth development on how to develop and implement an effective policy portfolio to foster healthy and positive youth development.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABORTION SERVICESABORTIONSACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIONACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO SERVICESADDICTIONADOLESCENCEADOLESCENTADOLESCENT FERTILITYADOLESCENT HEALTHADOLESCENT MOTHERSADOLESCENT PEERADOLESCENT PREGNANCYADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHADOLESCENTSADULTHOODAGEDAGGRESSIVEANTISOCIAL BEHAVIORBABIESBEHAVIOR CHANGEBIRTHSCARE SERVICESCASE MANAGEMENTCHILD ABUSECHILD DEVELOPMENTCITIZENSCLINICSCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONDOMCONDOM DISTRIBUTIONCONDOM USECONDOMSCONSISTENT USE OF CONDOMSCONTRACEPTIVE SERVICESCONTRACEPTIVE USECOUNSELORSCRIMEDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGYDISADVANTAGED CHILDRENDISSEMINATIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDROPOUTDRUG ABUSEDRUG ADDICTIONDRUG USEDRUGSEARLY CHILDBEARINGEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY PREGNANCYEARLY TEENSEFFECTIVE POLICIESEMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIONFAMILIESFAMILY CAREFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING CLINICSFAMILY PLANNING PERSPECTIVESFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFAMILY SUPPORTFIRST BIRTHFIRST PREGNANCYFIRST SEXUAL ENCOUNTERFIRST SEXUAL INTERCOURSEFORM OF CONTRACEPTIONFORMAL EDUCATIONFRIENDLY HEALTH SERVICESFRIENDLY REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESGENDER NORMSGIRLSHEALTH BEHAVIORHEALTH CAREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FACILITYHEALTH MESSAGESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH SERVICESHEALTHY DEVELOPMENTHIGH-RISKHIGH-RISK YOUNG PEOPLEHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINFORMATION CAMPAIGNSINFORMED CHOICESINTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSIONINTERVENTIONJOB TRAININGJUVENILE JUSTICELABOR MARKETLAWSLEGAL STATUSLIFE SKILLSMALE PARTNERSMARIJUANAMARIJUANA USENEEDS OF ADOLESCENTSNEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMESNUTRITIONOLDER CHILDRENOUTPATIENT CLINICPANDEMICPARENT RELATIONSHIPSPARENTAL EDUCATIONPARENTAL SUBSTANCE ABUSEPARENTINGPATIENTPATIENTSPEDIATRICSPEER EDUCATORSPEER PRESSUREPERSONAL DEVELOPMENTPHARMACIESPHYSICAL DISABILITIESPOLICY MAKERSPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOST-ABORTIONPOST-ABORTION CAREPOSTNATAL CAREPREGNANCIESPREGNANCYPREGNANCY PREVENTIONPREGNANCY RATESPREGNANCY TESTINGPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVACYPRIVATE PROVIDERSPROGRESSPSYCHOLOGYPUBLIC HEALTHRELIGIOUS BELIEFSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CAREREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INFORMATIONREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESRISK BEHAVIORSRISK FACTORSRISKY BEHAVIORRISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIORROLE MODELSSAFE ENVIRONMENTSCHOOL HEALTHSCREENINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSELF-CONFIDENCESELF-ESTEEMSELF-IMAGESERVICES FOR YOUNGSEX EDUCATIONSEX PRACTICESSEXUAL ACTIVITYSEXUAL EDUCATIONSEXUAL ENCOUNTERSSEXUAL HEALTHSEXUAL INITIATIONSEXUAL INTERCOURSESEXUAL PARTNERSSEXUAL RISKSEXUAL RISK BEHAVIORSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUALITYSEXUALLY ACTIVESEXUALLY ACTIVE YOUNG PEOPLESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSIBLINGSSMOKINGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL MARKETINGSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL SERVICESSPIRITUAL BELIEFSSTDSSTISSUBSTANCE ABUSESUBSTANCE USESUICIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL SKILLSTEEN PREGNANCYTEENAGE MOTHERSTEENAGE PARENTSTEENAGE PREGNANCYTOBACCOTOBACCO CONSUMPTIONTRADITIONAL FAMILY LIFEUNEMPLOYMENTUNPLANNED PREGNANCIESUNSAFE ABORTIONSUNSAFE SEXUNWANTED PREGNANCIESUSE OF ALCOHOLUSE OF CONDOMSUSE OF CONTRACEPTIVESVIOLENCEWORKPLACEYOUNG ADULTYOUNG ADULTSYOUNG MOTHERSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG PERSONYOUNG WOMENYOUNGER SIBLINGSYOUTHYOUTH ACTIVITIESYOUTH CENTERSYOUTH CLINICSYOUTH DEVELOPMENTYOUTH HEALTHYOUTH INFORMATION CENTREYOUTH POLICYYOUTH-FRIENDLY SERVICESWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/23988
