through sports today. In many parts of the world, sport has proven to be
a powerful tool to promote education, health, development and peace this
volume focuses on its vital role in the social development and employability
of young people.
It considers what sport means for social and economic development and
how it can be an innovative method of drawing attention to issues such
as HIV/AIDS prevention and the reduction of violence and poverty. The
need for ethically grounded sports management and physical education
in schools is also highlighted. The many challenges confronting the

The book identifies what opportunities are available for employment at
the local, regional and global levels. Case studies and examples from
Europe, the United States, East Africa, Latin America and Asia are presented,

Finally, the ILO's Youth Sport Program methodology is explained to illustrate
