This Clearinghouse currently offers the following as part of our growing youth coverage:

• Our demographic context tables are as relevant to youth as to children.

• Our social indicator tables, including data on risk behaviors, often extend into the youth ages, or are youth-specific.

• For ages at which youth are legally entitled to carry out certain acts, you will have opportunity to download country data in pdf format in the youth sections of the country profiles. For s summary of these ages at which youth are entitled to carry out a series of activities, click on Table 1.103.

• The Transition from School to Work
  This area is of major concern to youth policymaking and programming. A 15-country OECD study, whose tables are augmented by inclusion of many other countries, offers useful data.

• Civic Engagement of Youth.
