YOUTH is the “critical period in a person’s
growth and development from the onset
of adolescence towards the peak of
mature, self-reliant and responsible
adulthood; comprising considerable
sector of the population from the age
of 15 to 30 years.”
![Page 2: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
With this definition, the youth is not
merely regarded as an age group but a
stage in a person’s development.
![Page 3: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In 2004 , total youth population reached
23.4 M or about 29.3% o the total Phil.
Population of 82.7 M.

Overall, the priorities and challenges of
the youth revolve around their immediate
environment:
the self and their family
![Page 5: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The articulated issues of the youth center
on health, education and employment
more specifically those related to sexual
risk behaviors, drug and substance abuse
and family dysfunctions
![Page 6: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The vision of the youth is generally
centered on studies, work and need for
social and emotional security
![Page 7: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Youth participation has hardly (if at all)
been raised as an issue or concern or
problem. Could it be more of
complacency? Indifference? Or
disenchantment?
![Page 8: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
POVERTY is the deprivation of essential assets and opportunities to which every human person is entitled. Less access could mean lower participation, less
voice, hence powerlessness.
![Page 9: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Five essential assets are human capital,
physical capital, natural capital, financial
capital, and social capital
![Page 10: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Human Capital concerned with
Education and Health
Education Issues:
• declining participation rates
• poor quality
• low cohort survival rates
![Page 11: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For every 100 children in the Philippines
who start grade 1, only 67 will complete
elementary schooling
This rate is even lower for the poor
![Page 12: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In ARMM, for every 100 children who
start elementary school only 34 finish
![Page 13: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The results of the national achievement test for SY 2004-2005 indicated that our
senior public high school students posted an average of only 46.80%, and
grade 6 pupils, 59.73% only
![Page 14: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Those families whose head has little or no education at all are generally poor.
But the largest proportion of our population has had elementary
schooling.
This contributes to about 35%
![Page 15: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Health Issues:
• A very high incidence of tuberculosis—
ranked 8th in the world by the World
Health Organization (WHO)
![Page 16: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Poor quality and inaccessibility of
public health care services
• High costs of medicines
![Page 17: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Education and health are closely correlated. Ex. Mothers who are participating in Barangay health
programs, therefore properly informed on nutrition are able to breastfeed their infants, observe sanitation and able to
feed their children better
![Page 18: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Physical Capital
Concerned with:
• water
• housing / shelter
• infrastructure services such as
energy, transport
and communication
![Page 19: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Government housing assistance programs
have barely reached the poor, for a
variety of reasons
![Page 20: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• a lack of information on assistance
programs and how to access them
• eligibility requirements that
discriminate against the poor
• an emphasis on mortgage finance
![Page 21: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Natural Capital
In rural areas, access to land is one of the
main determinants of welfare
![Page 22: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Poor environmental conditions adversely
affect human capital, growth, and
distributional equity
Concern for clean air is imperative
![Page 23: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Forest cover has been reduced to less
than one fifth of total land area. Logging,
mining, and encroachment of settlements
in critical watersheds are all to blame
![Page 24: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Social capital comprises the social
resources on which people are able to
draw, through networks and
connectedness and relationships of trust
and reciprocity
Family, friends, social and community
organizations
![Page 25: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
To promote increased participation in
development processes through
membership in local and community
organizations
![Page 26: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Financial capital denotes the financial services available to the people thru savings, credit, wages, pension and
forms of remittances
![Page 27: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Because of this, access to easy credit is an important part of the consumption of
the poor. Microfinance is one such avenue
![Page 28: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Philippines is the 3rd highest
recipient of remittances in the world
![Page 29: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The reality is: Those families whose main source of income is foreign
remittances from a spouse or relative abroad, are largely based in urban areas
![Page 30: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Remittances are often utilized in excessive consumption instead of re
channeling them to pro-poor programs e.g. investing in business that gives
employment to the poor members of the community
![Page 31: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Causes of Poverty
• weak macroeconomic management
• employment issues
• high population growth rates
• an underperforming agricultural sector
and an unfinished land reform agenda
![Page 32: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• governance issues including corruption and a weak state
• conflict and security issues including criminality, law and order
• disability
![Page 33: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In 2003, the annual national relative poverty threshold was P 85,000.00 per family or P 17,000 per capita. While rate of family income increased from
2000 to 2005, the real income failed to meet adequately family subsistence needs. Generally, the family income
can hardly cope with inflation
![Page 34: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The disabled in the country is estimated to have reached 8 M. Disability is cause of poverty. Poverty causes disability
![Page 35: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Importance of investments in
human capital
• Adequate skills and knowledge
• Good health
![Page 36: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In assessing poverty situations, we also look beyond income. Gender and age
are related issues
![Page 37: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In May 2000, our population was recorded at 76.5 M; in July 2005, it is
estimated to have reached 87.5M, or an annual 2.30% growth rate over the past
5 years
![Page 38: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Ours is an overwhelmingly young population. In 2000, the recorded
median is 21 years old. A quarter of the population is below 9 years old. 60% of the female population belong to the 15
to 49 year-old bracket
![Page 39: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Education is not merely an accumulation
of knowledge

All these human – economic, social
issues are NOT mere problem situations
but
OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE

Education, whether public or private, forms not just individuals but a whole
nation
![Page 45: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Through these schools, what kind of citizens, or better yet, what kind of
persons do we want our children and youth to become, in effect, also asking,
what kind of nation do want to be?
![Page 46: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Academic education allows us to be “magaling”
![Page 47: Overall, the priorities and challenges of the youth revolve around their immediate environment:](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56814fbe550346895dbd76dc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
But real education enables us to be “mabuti”
