The Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework promotes a vision of youth based on their strengths. This paper is a review the Handbook of positive youth development. Advancing research, policy, and practice in global contexts. This review expands on the core themes of the Handbook by delving into challenges for PYD research as it moves forward to reach populations that have been systematically excluded from mainstream academia. It is proposed that the publication of this book, and its valuable contributions to youth research and policy, is a timely opportunity to highlight the mismatch between youth possibilities in developed and developing contexts, as it is the Handbook’s aim to decrease the gap between mainstream and Global South youth psychology.
