The purpose of the study was to assess the youthparticipation in socio-economic activities in Tetu Sub-County in Nyeri Kenya. The study lookedinto community activities engaged in by youth groups and how personal attributes and familybackground variables influenced participation and contribution to community development.Relevant literature together with the Bronfenbrenner's theory of the ecology of humandevelopment was reviewed. The study employed a descriptive survey design and targeted 1,030youth aged 18-35 years who were registered in youth groups across Tetu Sub-County. Astratified random sampling on the basis of gender composition of the youth group members wasused to select 204 youth group members. A pre-tested structured questionnaire and a focus groupdiscussion were used to collect information from the sampled youth group members. Dataanalysis was performed with the help of SPSS VERSION 19. The study found that the youthengaged in various socio-economic activities; informal micro-finance groups known as Chamasand animal rearing were the two most popular economic activities that youth groups engaged inwhile peer education and participating in steering committees for social functions were the twomost popular social activities. Data analysis revealed that gender (p=0.015), age (p=O.013) aswell as level of education (p=0.017) were the personal attributes that had significant relationshipswith social economic contribution. Parental education level (p=0.012) and parental occupation(p=0.01) were the family background variables that had significant relationships with socioeconomiccontribution of youth. The study found that there was a significant difference betweenmale and female youth groups and type of socio-economic activities (p=0.029) as well assignificant differences between males and females in income levels (p=0.000). The studyconcluded that the older male youths who had higher education and training levels contributedmore to socio-economic development of their communities than those who had little or no formaleducation. Males participated more in paid work and income generating activities compared tofemales, who focused more on unpaid housework and voluntary work. The study also establishedthat selected family background variables influenced youth's socio-economic contribution.Parents' education level and occupation were significant in youth's participation in socioeconomicactivities for community development. Youths whose parents had higher levels ofeducation and better paying occupations, participated more in socio-economic activitiescompared to youth from less privileged family backgrounds. The study recommended thatemphasis should be placed on education and training of youth in entrepreneurship skills, businessplanning and basic financial management. This would promote participation of young men andwomen in socio-economic development of their local communities." @default.
