This paper is based on a study conducted in Makhado Municipality of Vhembe District, South Africa. It sought to unearth the factors hindering youth participation in community development. In this sequentially integrated mixed methods study, respondents in phase 1 were purposively sampled. Data were collected in reflection circles established considering gender. The results of the first phase were consolidated into a questionnaire requiring responses on a 10 point Likert-type scale. In phase 2 the questionnaire was administered to the same categories of youth in reflection circles. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests for significant differences across gender categories and hindering factors were computed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. No significant gender differences were raised. It was concluded that youth desire opportunities to demonstrate their community leadership abilities. The need for change in leaders’ attitudes regarding the role of youth in development work is evident.

The population of young people below 30 years is around 70 percent of the total population in SubSaharan Africa (Euro Monitor International 2012). Thus youth are critical population subgroup which can be effectively utilized to increase productivity across the world. The possibility of youth driving community development particularly in under-resourced developing countries is even more apparent (Lucie et al. 2016). However, youth contribution to community development can only be realized through their active involvement in various activities. As such, there is global cognizance of the need to include youth in decision making with regards to development and also acknowledge the value they can add in the process. Participation is broadly viewed as a means to increase the involvement of a country’s residence to enhance their competences. Therefore, it is a vehicle for influencing decisions that influence young people’s lives as well as the communities they reside in (Chess and Purcell 2009). Youth participation in community work is a practical process through which the beneficiaries influence the initiation and management of community development work rather than being passive onlookers (Angba et al. 2009). Nikkhah and Redzuan (2009) further demonstrate that community participation creates an enabling environment for sustainability by allowing community beneficiaries to initiate, guide projects and make decisions about their development projects. Youth active participation is viewed as a critical component of economic development and a critical pillar towards alleviating poverty (Dundumaro and Madulu 2011). Given this background, it is vital t

In the cashew nut industries, women are mainly involved in cashew nut shelling and peeling activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the occupational health hazards and risk of injury faced by the women workers employed in the cashew nut processing industry. The study was conducted in four cashew nut processing industries: two each in Selsella and Mankachar blocks of Meghalaya and Assam, respectively. Ten female workers from each industry comprising a total of 40 workers, who have normal physiological characteristics, were selected randomly. RULA and QEC tools were used for the assessment of health hazards of the women workers. Discomfort survey was done to investigate the intensity of pain in different body parts. The results of the study showed that the workers of cashew nut industries were exposed to high occupational health and safety risk due to poor working environment, awkward working posture, repetitive and tedious job.
