Youth Mainstreaming and the Commonwealth PAYE

Youth mainstreaming has been defined as "the process of assessing the implications for youth of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels. It is a strategy for making youth concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes, in all political, economic and social spheres so that youth benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated."

The above definition has been lifted from the Commonwealth Plan of Action for Youth Empowerment (PAYE) which has useful information on youth mainstreaming.
