Abstract

The popular participation in development efforts is considered as a basic factor which leads to success of development projects. The youth sector in all developing countries is considered as a majority of the total population, and their participation in development activities is supposed to be proportional with their percentage, if a balanced social & economic development is expected. Regrettablely, the contribution of the youth sector in the development process is far below the expectations. How-ever, this study was intended to investigate the characteristics of the youth category, in Dilling locality, and to what extend these characteristics affect their participation in development process. Social survey and case study techniques were the two main methods used by the researcher, targeting the rural villages around Dilling locality as research area. Based on the four main directions, the research area was divided geographically into four sectors, from each of them two villages were selected.
