A Call to Action: HIV/AIDS, Health, Safety, and the Youth Employment Summit

By Robin Franz, Cheryl Vince Whitman, Wendy Santis, Scott Pulizzi, Carmen Aldinger, and Michael Rosati

This paper was prepared for the 2002 Youth Employment Summit (YES) and discusses five important questions: a) What challenges do HIV and other health issues create for youth and employment?; b) How does the concept of "health-promoting workplaces or livelihoods"apply to the prevention of HIV/AIDS and other health risks?; c) What examples exist of "best policies and practices"?; d) Where can Youth Employment Summit participants find resources?; e) What questions or concerns should we address at the Youth Employment Summit?
