Youth poverty is a serious global phenomenon that affects the world over,not least because of the large number of young people living in absolute and abject poverty in developing countries.In many contexts,youth are relatively likely to experience poverty because of agebased discrimination and the uncertainties,and dynamism surrounding the transition from childhood to adulthood.But it is not always the case that,youth are disproportionately poor,and cannot meet their basic human needs and wants.The relative extent of youth poverty in a given context depends on the interaction of many different indicators.The content of this research paper mainly focuses on the research ‘A Research on Youth Poverty Alleviation in Sierra Leone’.Poverty has to be a perennial problem,and a thorny issue that affects the youth in Sierra Leone,for far too long,and still continues to be the order of the day that poses a serious threat to their lives dwelling communities.Sierra Leone,blessed with a youthful population estimated at 49 percent,falls within the age bracket of [15-35],referencing the recent 2014,Sierra Leone Housing and Population Census,on the demographic survey.Youth have been described by many policy researchers,and development proponents/experts as liability,and vulnerable,Though,perceived as able young men and women full of energies to serve as the dynamo or engine for the socio-economic growth and development of any country/ nation by providing the required work or labor force to the job market.Notwithstanding the current emerging uncertainties,and the economic global trend they faced,has seriously affected,and undermined their potential to the national development,but rather subjected them to various forms of predicaments,Such as marginalization,exclusion,illiteracy,unemployment and underemployment,diseases,lacked government commitment and prudent social and fiscal policy cannot be disassociated with their poverty status.The absence of strong and determined political and administrative commitment,coupled with the improper formidable policy framework and other coordinating approach mechanisms to mitigate the causes,effects,and dependency rate amongst youth poverty still remains challenging.However,this research will deeply probe into the root causes and effects of youth poverty,examine poverty-related theories and types.Furthermore,identify and discuss by providing possible alleviating approach measures to combat such societal menace.
