Abstract Out-of-school youth are individuals who are not enrolled in formal education and often face challenges related to limited opportunities. This study is to determine the level of life challenges and opportunities among out-of-school youth in the select district of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Specifically, it seeks to examine the respondents’ level of life challenges; ascertain the level of life opportunities; determine the significant relationship between life challenges and each of their profiles and find out the significant relationship between life opportunities and each of their profiles. A descriptive-correlational research design with universal sampling was used. Data were collected from one hundred sixty (160) respondents through researcher-made questionnaires. Statistical tools included mean, percentage, standard deviation, and Pearson r Correlation was employed.
Key findings showed that poor mental health obtained the highest mean among the life challenges, interpreted as challenged, while gender inequity was the lowest, interpreted as challenged. For life opportunities, public-private partnerships got the highest mean, while scholarships and sponsorships got the lowest mean, both interpreted as high. A significant relationship was found between respondents’ profiles, life challenges and life opportunities. The study concludes that addressing gender inequality and strengthening scholarship programs are vital for improving youth development outcomes. It suggests that when challenges are high, opportunities tend to be limited. Thus, it recommends that future initiatives must focus on reducing challenges and enhancing opportunities through scholarships, mentorship, and gender-equity strategies.
