One major impediment to achieving this target is the lack of a skilled workforce. In this paper, we argue the case for leveraging youth as an untapped resource for supplying the workforce the ECCE system needs. Youth comprise a large proportion of the global population, and historically, although youth experience higher unemployment rates than their adult counterparts, youth are important agents of social awareness, social transformation, and community mobilization in multiple global contexts. We provide a conceptual model based on developmental theories and program examples to leverage the discourse of youth-led ECCE programs as a viable option to address workforce gaps while benefiting both young children and youth.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29537185</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1534-8687&lt;br/&gt;Ponguta, Liliana Angelica&lt;br/&gt;Rasheed, Muneera Abdul&lt;br/&gt;Reyes, Chin Regina&lt;br/&gt;Yousafzai, Aisha Khizar&lt;br/&gt;Journal Article&lt;br/&gt;Review&lt;br/&gt;United States&lt;br/&gt;New Dir Child Adolesc Dev. 2018 Mar;2018(159):71-89. doi: 10.1002/cad.20233.</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yale University.&lt;br/&gt;Aga Khan University.&lt;br/&gt;Harvard University.</style></auth-address><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NLM</style></remote-database-provider></record></records></xml>
