For this week, please post one article, published within the past 5 years, that highlights a current area of need, or alternatively an area of strength, among minority, immigrant, or refugee youth in the country.

A. Along with the article link, please post a short summary (3-4 sentences at most) of the article. The article can be drawn from either a news source, website, or academic peer-reviewed journal.

B. Along with your article post, please respond to the following questions (in 3-4 sentences):

1. What are the enduring barriers to social inclusion (e.g., discriminatory attitudes, lack of skills or knowledge, prioritization by powerful parties, incentives and capacity to promote inclusion etc)?

2. In what ways does exclusion contribute to poverty, inequality, or uneven development outcomes at individual, household, community, province or national levels?

Read group member responses and respond thoughtfully to at least two of your peers.
