Skilled, healthy, and educated youths are an economic potential of any country. In Policy implication of any nation, youths are given priority in terms of skills. But youths must study and gain knowledge and acquire skills. But in Mumbai metropolitan region boys are driving four wheelers and girls drive two wheelers. Few have license and they drive fast on highway without wearing helmet and seatbelt. Few youths are smoking cigarettes and consume alcohol due to depression. Few youths fight physically and got injured. They do not eat properly and reported the malnutrition issue. Youths are involved in multiple sex relationship with opposite sex with lack of knowledge of contraceptives. Logistic regression results shows that youths involved in multiple risks are positively associated with age of youths and loans taken by parents. It is negatively co-related to help of parents at house. Therefore, parents must spend enough time with youth. They must regulate the youths’ risky behaviours as driving vehicles, smoking, drinking alcohol. They must teach them eating healthy food habits and not allow them to involve in physical fight and opposite sex relationship. If required, then counsellors help must be taken. State government must see that youths will be healthy and skilled in region. It will not only benefit to family but also to region and nation in economical way.
