Youth On The Block

High levels of unemployment in the formal system, challenges and failures in the educational system, and the push from drug traffickers to reach metropolitan markets, cause many Caribbean youth living in poverty to become especially vulnerable to believing that they have no future. As a result, they become involved in gang activity that consumes their communities. In many countries, this has become a crisis among young people; in some cases it has consumed important numbers of a generation of youth who have died before their 30th birthday as a result of gang warfare fuelled by the drug economy.
