• Youth is the time of life when one is young, and
often means the time
between childhood and adulthood(maturity). It is
also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor,
spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young". Its
definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is
not defined chronologically as a stage that can be
tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be
linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid
work.

• Youth is an experience that may shape an
individual's level of dependency, which can be
marked in various ways according to different
cultural perspectives. Personal experience is
marked by an individual's cultural norms or
traditions, while a youth's level of dependency
means the extent to which they still rely on
their family emotionally and economically.

• Around the world, the English
terms youth, adolescence, teenager, kid,
and young person are interchanged, often
meaning the same thing ,but they are
occasionally differentiated. Youth can be
referred to as the time of life when one is
young. This involves childhood, and the time
of life which is neither childhood nor
adulthood, but rather somewhere in between.
 Conti..
•  Youth also identifies a particular mindset of
attitude, as in "He is very youthful". For
certain uses, such as employment statistics, the
term also sometimes refers to individuals from
the ages of 14 to 21.However, the
term adolescence refers to a specific age range
during a specific developmental period in a
person's life, unlike youth which is a socially
constructed category.
