"Adolescents and young adults, who comprise a significant portion of Philippine society, are known to be prone to particular types of risks. Some speculate that societies with large proportions of young people may be subjected to dynamic, and potentially disruptive, political and social movements. The rapid growth of the youth population too, creates pressure on the state to expand education, health, and employment programs for this age group. Policymakers must keep in mind, however, that the period of expansion for government to cope with the needs of large numbers of youth is short. For efficient plans and programs, there is a need to know not just the number of youths to which the services shall be delivered, but also where they are and who they are. This paper, therefore, presents a profile of the youth. Following UN practice, the youth is defined as the 15 to 24 year age group"--P. 1.
