"Youth-Led Development (YLD) is already an enormous field worth several billion dollars to the global economy. In many parts of the developing world, every village has a youth self-help association which deals with starting up small businesses, coping with crisis brought on by HIV/AIDs, war, trafficking, human rights abuses, gender violence, diseases, poverty, hunger, etc. Young people are directly responsible for their survival number in the millions. In the industrialized north, youth-led initiatives are increasingly widespread."

This blog covers all the news on youth in the developing world. It facilitates discourse on issues such as MDG progress, etc.
