  • Abstract:
  • Youth empowerment is a crucial factor in driving rural development, economic stability, and social transformation. Rural youth often face limited access to quality education, vocational skills, and sustainable employment opportunities, which hinders their potential for economic independence and community leadership. Social work plays a transformative role in addressing these challenges through strategic interventions aimed at skill enhancement, capacity building, and employment generation. This article explores the socio-economic context of rural youth, key barriers to empowerment, and evidence-based strategies implemented by social workers to enhance employability and entrepreneurship. It further examines government initiatives, NGO-led programs, and community-driven approaches, supported by case studies and data, to highlight best practices and offer actionable recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and community leaders.
