Social Youth Entrepreneurship - The Potential for Youth and Community Transformation

Klappentext Youth policies in the United States-especially for economically and socially disadvantaged children-are often characterized as fragmented, inadequate, antiquated, misguided, and, at worst, negligent or even harmful. The primary systems mandated to serve youth often coexist as if in parallel universes, often at odds with each other regarding goals, priorities, and resources. To address these deep-seated problems and propose a dynamic alternative, Delgado applies extensive field research and insights from economics, urban studies, social work, and psychology, to introduce a new paradigm, "social youth entrepreneurship." This approach to youth and community development integrates education, work experience, and counseling to create economic opportunities and prepare today's youth for tomorrow's challenges. Zusammenfassung Establishes an agenda for integrating education, social work, and small business programs to create economic opportunities for urban youth and their communities.
