  What's New: Youths on wheels launched Youth Blood Donor Club
Although some people were nonchalant, many youths were keen to find out more about blood donation and how they can join in to help increase the blood supply.
It is a pleasure to know that youths in Singapore can do more for society and YDC is definitely an excellent avenue.
With the launch of the club, the members will not forget the key vision and mission of the club - that is to advocate social responsibility through blood donation and to encourage youths to give 25 blood donations by the age of 25.

 ILO/Lima - 2000 Labour Overview (Special Subject)
An additional feature of youth unemployment is the relative increase of the number of youngsters who are looking for jobs for the first time with respect to unemployed workers (31% in 1990 to 42% by the end of the decade) (Annex, Table 2).
In other words, all new youth employment was created in the informal sector, which represented 47% of non farm youth employment in 1999 (against 42% at the beginning of the decade).
Yet the rate of youth unemployment doubled in the period, employment practically stagnated and the quality of youth employment deteriorated, in spite of higher levels of school attendance, which is one of the greatest achievements of the decade.

 Minority Francophone Youths in Canada:
Correspondingly, the youths at the JA performed their hybridity with the strongest francophone component, the AFG youths with the weakest, and the Ontario francophones were somewhere in between.
AFG youths’ spontaneous use of English to speak with one another was a discursive practice that contributed to the construction of their distinct hybrid identity, where francophoneness was performed as a weaker component than their anglophoneness.
Youths were aware that other groups and organizations promoted different versions of what a francophone is, but they sided with the FESFO vision of multiculturalism and inclusion in creating an intense, discursively stable, youthful and inviting francophone environment.

 NIDA - Publications - NIDA Notes - Vol. 18, No. 4 - Research Findings
Youths in a New York City study reported participating in ketamine injection sessions in many cities involving multiple injections, shared bottles of ketamine, and use of syringes obtained from secondary sources--practices that increase risk for hepatitis C, HIV, and other infectious diseases.
Although most youths in the study said their most recent ketamine injection had occurred in the New York metropolitan area, others said they last injected the drug in other cities, such as Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco, or during outdoor raves in rural areas of West Virginia and Montana.
The diverse geographic areas where this small but highly mobile sample of high-risk youths say they have injected ketamine raises the possibility that the practice may be more common and widespread than indicated by recent epidemiological data, the study's researchers say.

 Methods [in: Vietnamese refugees : crime rates of minors and youths in New South Wales]
However, it should be noted that since 1985, task forces, ethnic liaison police officers and foot patrols have been operant in the New South Wales Vietnamese communities both to combat crime and to encourage a positive police/community relationship.
Comparisons were made between the Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese under 17 (minors) and 18-24 (youth) age group, and between the Vietnamese 18-24 and over 24 age group.
The reason for this, aside from the fact that the focus of the report is on youth crime, is that the age distributions of the two populations above age 24 are quite different.

Vietnamese have experienced many difficulties in adjusting to life in Australia due to the psychosocial problems inherent in refugee status coupled with employment and language barriers.
