The year-long Make Space Youth Review will examine society's attitudes to teenagers and make recommendations on how to best support them to become healthy and successful adults.
A panel of young people, academics, media representatives and policy makers will be co-chaired by former Labour MP Oona King and the mayor of Lewisham, London, Wilf Petherbridge.
Data released at the launch reveal that an average of 17 pence a day or Pounds 61 a year is spent on statutory youth services for each 11- to 16-year-old in England.
Tom Wylie, chief executive of the National Youth Agency, said, 'This is a timely review to underpin the agenda set by the Government for Youth Matters: Next Steps. We trust its findings will be an important contribution to inform the ten-year strategy for children and young people, to provide investment where it's needed.'
