Abstract: Abstract Education plays a pivotal role in empowering youths from economically disadvantaged backgrounds by providing the tools necessary for personal and professional growth. However, these young individuals often face significant challenges, including limited access to quality educational resources, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic barriers that hinder their academic success. Innovative strategies are essential to address these systemic issues and promote equitable access to education. Effective interventions include scholarship programs that alleviate financial burdens, vocational training that equips students with practical skills, and mentorship initiatives that provide guidance and support. Tailored educational approaches are crucial, recognizing that each learner grows in their own unique way and requires personalized support to thrive. Throughout the narrative the focus will be on strategies to empower youth living in economically disadvantaged contexts through education, providing insights into programs and initiatives aimed at developing skills and knowledge needed for participation in the digital economy. The chapter provides successful case studies to illustrate how targeted initiatives can lead to significant improvements in academic achievement and overall well-being. By fostering collaboration among educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders, it is possible to create sustainable pathways that not only empower disadvantaged youths but also promote social mobility. Through collective efforts, it is possible to transform the educational landscape for economically disadvantaged youths, enabling them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
