The child and youth services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $199.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the rising advocacy for inclusive services, the provision of remote counseling services, innovations in healthcare, community-based services, and advancements in child protection. Prominent trends expected in the forecast period encompass a focus on resilience building, the implementation of trauma-informed care, holistic development programs, initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion, and the provision of preventive mental health services.
The expansion of community programs for children and youth has contributed to the growth of the child and youth services market. According to youth.gov, exposure to various opportunities during youth is linked to reduced risky behavior in adulthood. A study conducted on the initial five years of participation in the 4-H youth development program revealed a lower risk of social and personal behavioral problems, a fourfold increase in community contribution such as lihood, and a twofold increase in civic activity. These factors are anticipated to positively impact the child and youth services market.
The child and youth services market is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of single-parent households. Single-parent households result from situations such as divorce, separation, death, or a deliberate choice by a parent to raise a child alone. These households receive crucial support from Child and Youth Services through affordable childcare, after-school programs, and resources, enabling parents to work while ensuring proper care and developmental opportunities for their children. In June 2023, the Annie E. Casey Foundation reported 24 million single-parent families in the USA in 2021, with rising numbers contributing to the growth of the child and youth services market.
The lack of employment and job training opportunities in foster care poses a challenge to the growth of the child and youth services market. Foster youth often face difficulties transitioning out of care, leading to homelessness and unemployment. Despite the availability of entry-level jobs, many foster youths lack the necessary skills and resources for independence. Limited access to technology further hampers their ability to compete in the job market, with only 5% of rural and 21% of urban foster youth having access to a computer at home. This lack of employment and job training resources negatively impacts the child and youth services market.
Communities are increasingly leveraging predictive analytics for the welfare of children and youth, focusing on assessing maltreatment risk levels. Predictive analytics quantifies risk to target services efficiently, aiding children, families, and communities most such as ly to benefit. For instance, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services employed predictive analytics to identify children at risk of placement in congregate care settings, allowing for the implementation of alternative interventions.

The platform, present in 85 countries with over 15 million users, empowers youth to influence policies through channels such as the U-Report MK chatbot on Vibe.
