To be a youth is good but empowering the youth is better. Empowerment can be defined as the means of encouraging or assisting somebody. What is youth empowerment? In a nutshell, youth empowerment is the means through which the youths of any country are assisted to succeed in life. It is shameful that when youth empowerment is mentioned, people think that it is only the function of the government to empower the youths. This is not so as you, as an individual, can empower the people around you.

When any youth is empowered financially, he uses the profit he makes from the business he does to sustain himself and his household. He may start-up businesses for his relations who were poor before and if this continues to grow to some extent, poverty will be eradicated from that vicinity. Empowering the youths with skills can go a long way in reducing poverty percentage of many societies. When a youth learns skills, he can use the skills learnt to feed, assist others, and even invest for future use. One kind of long lasting empowerment is skills empowerment. The skill one learnt can assist him till the end of his life. A youth who is empowered on how to repair automobiles can earn from it till he dies.

But when the youths are empowered, they will support the education sector of their nations. The empowered youths can donate educational facilities to primary, secondary and even to tertiary institutions. The challenges many tertiary institutions in Africa are having today is lack of practical background. The machines and other equipment needed for this practical can be provided by youths who were empowerment by the government. They do this in appreciation to what the government did for them. Empowering the youths academically accelerates the spirit of patriotism in education sector. The empowered youth knows the importance of education. This is why many individuals issue scholarships to student, because they understand the value of education due to the empowerment which were given to them academically.

Again, youths who were empowered on leadership skill will do well in leadership positions. This is because he has been trained on how to lead people. He applies what he learnt and makes his governance acceptable to the citizens. Unlike those leaders who do not know their left from their right, a well empowered youth on leadership skill gives “first class” rule to his nation.

Example, when youths are taught well on the danger and punishments behind arm robbery or dealing in drugs, there is every possibility that they will not take part in them. What concerns a young man who does well in his business because he was empowered and carrying gun, stand on high ways and steal from people? The two has no relationship because the young man's business is booming and expanding. In summary, youth empowerment reduces social crimes.
In United States of America, many youths cannot do without hard drugs. Many smoke weeds which become harmful to their body system in future.

They go about impregnating young ladies because the could not control themselves after taking hard drugs. But with proper youth empowerment, the issue is addressable.
