Promoting Healthy, Safe, and Productive
Transitions to Adulthood
The Population Council changes the way the world thinks about critical health and development issues. We seek to understand the causes and consequences of gender inequality and the disparities in opportunity that arise during adolescence. We provide the evidence for better on-the-ground programs and policies that ensure successful and productive transitions to adulthood in developing countries.
The Promoting Healthy, Safe, and Productive Transitions to Adulthood brief series outlines the challenges facing adolescents, Council interventions, and policy and program recommendations.
