Youth Monographs
ESCAP has produced four youth monographs on the youth situation, policy
and programmes in the Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam and Malaysia as
part of a project entitled "Capacity-building in HRD Policy-making
for Youth in Asia and the Pacific", implemented in collaboration
with Queens University, Canada.
Youth Policy Formulation Manual
ESCAP has produced this Youth Policy Formulation Manual, which draws
upon best practices of countries within the Asia-Pacific region already
engaged in the youth policy formulation process, and provides guidelines
for countries taking the first steps in the formation of a national
youth policy. The Manual is also a useful resource for policy makers
interested in reviewing and building upon their previous formulation
initiatives, as the case studies included in the Manual provide a solid
basis for comparing and evaluating existing structures.
National Youth Policies: An Overview
A questionnaire survey undertaken by ESCAP focused, among other things,
on the current status of youth policies and their implementation among
the countries and areas of the region. Here are some results of the
survey.
Assessment of National Youth Policies
We have reviewed the experience in the formulation and implementation
of youth policies in the region and draws lessons for the development
of more effective youth policies in the coming years.
Setting Up A Youth Policy in Malaysia
Malaysia announced the first National Youth Policy in 1985 after a long
and hard struggle. A few years ago the policy was thought to be outdated
by many, so the struggle for setting up a new youth policy started.
