"Putting Young People Into National Poverty Reduction Strategies: A Guide to Statistics on Young People in Poverty" shows how relevant statistics on young people in poverty can be easily sourced for use in developing national poverty reduction strategies.

The available data could provide a profile at three levels of young people in poverty. At the broadest level, it would show the significance of a specific age group of young people in a country's basic demographic structure for any particular period. The second level focuses on the incidence of young people in poverty, using, for example, national averages based on the Millennium Development Goals’ indicators. A third level of data offers a more differentiated picture of young people in poverty. This involves presenting detailed data, taking into account young people's differences by gender, rural/urban location, and where the data is available, household poverty status.
