From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, more girls and women are participating in sports than ever before.

Survey Of Young People In Egypt (Sype) 2009—Final Report, Population Council
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
This document contains the Final Report for SYPE 2009.

SYPE collected data on the five key life transitions of education, work, family formation; health; and civic and political participation.

Friendship Networks, Perceived Reciprocity Of Support, And Depression, Ryan Francis Huff
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Using social network analysis as a theoretical framework, the current study examined the associations between self-reported egocentric network characteristics and depression among a sample of United States college students. It is important to understand factors related to depression among this population due to the severity of its potential outcomes (e.g., suicide and interpersonal problems at school). Drawing inspiration from a recent study conducted by Christina Falci and Clea McNeely (2009), the current investigation used OLS regression to test for both linear and curvilinear relationships between egocentric network size and depression. Potential interactions between network size, density, and gender were also …

Protecting Young People From Sex Without Consent, Shireen J. Jejeebhoy
Protecting Young People From Sex Without Consent, Shireen J. Jejeebhoy
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
Over the last decade, a growing body of evidence has laid to rest any illusion that the young are protected from unwanted sexual advances or forced sex both within and outside of marriage. Studies have established the prevalence of unwanted sex within marriage among young women and its risk factors; the association between poverty and forced sex among adolescent girls in South Africa; levels and correlates of forced sex reported by young people in Ethiopia and Kenya. Evidence has established that sex without consent among the young exists in every region of the world, and that girls, as well as …
