Abstract

Adolescents and youth together constitute as “young people”, who are most energetic and dynamic population group also the driving force for the society and development. The concept of vulnerability applies to the population at all age group but the risk exposure among young and their peers are the matter of high attention. This paper focuses on the multiple dimension of vulnerability that, young age people experience through and the associated diversity of status like age, nutrition, gender and geographical and social orientation to add on that vulnerability. The paper identifies the key concept and the principles relevant to young age vulnerability and how it’s intertwined with a complex dynamics of diverse realities. The orientation of diversity and vulnerability quite varies amongst the people across age cohort, social strata and also based on economic conditions and gendered perspective and it becomes much challenging while it applies to the young cohort. This paper attempted to bring that deeper insights and the country context to be described and highlighted specially, around the very theme of vulnerability and diversity in relevance to young age. The support line to address the young people vulnerability should meet the diverse need of young people and the confronted challenges they face by the parents, community, society health care provider and educator to deal with. The program response should be tailor made with such diversity to create an effective, contextual and human friendly response towards the young vulnerability.
