Youth Development
The youths are potentially the most productive force in Bangladesh. They constitute 36% of the total civilian labour force. Recognizing the fact that a disciplined and, organized, trained and educated youth community can make significant contribution to the development process, the government has taken up various programs for their socio— economic uplift. The Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Department of Youth Development are entrusted with the responsibility of providing unified direction and coordination to the youth development process.
The main objective of the youth development program is to organize and mobilize the youth community for enabling them to participate effectively in national development. Some of the specific objectives are as follows increase the participation of females in youth development, alleviate poverty through increased sell—employment opportunities among the youth community, equip the youths with working skill and suitable training in technical, vocational and professional fields and organize youth groups and motivate them to assist in community development through voluntary youth organizations
The major programs of the government for youth development include:- rural youth development, skill development training, sell-employment program and community development program. The youth development program is now being expanded through increased training and credit facilities.
