YOUth magazine is the International Youth Foundation's (IYF) flagship publication designed to provide a global audience of donors, civil society organizations, governments, and youth leaders with news and commentary around the theme of positive youth development. Highlights from this issue include a hard look at young people's prospects, particularly in light of the global economic downturn, and solutions to improve them; the voice of change from a young leader in Pakistan; a profile of some of IYF's leading partners; and an article on how IYF's Youth for the Future initiative is impacting youth policies in that country.
