Community Economic Development Approaches to Reducing Poverty and Improving Income
Young women work - in their homes, in the community, in schools with other youth and in the labour force. But young women who live in poverty find themselves unable to make our economy or society work for them. Struggling to stay in school, working for low wages, and lacking childcare, young women face many challenges. At risk of a future determined by poverty, and possibly raising another generation to live under the same conditions, young women said they want to work to build a better future and community.
