Overview
Historically, youth development discourse in the Commonwealth Caribbean straddles two distinctive perspectives. On the one hand, there is the deficit perspective which describes young people as wards in need of welfare. On the other hand, there is the positive youth development perspective which speaks to the empowerment of young people to perform their role as change agents and strategic partners in development. Both perspectives have informed the Commonwealth Caribbean youth development agenda. In this paper, we trace the origins and manifestations of the two perspectives on the Commonwealth Caribbean youth development landscape from post-Emancipation to present. We conclude with the recommendation for a paradigm shift in youth development strategies, and we proffer proposals to facilitate the transition.
