Abstract: Youth participation in fishing activities is usually present in coastal barangays, especially among the in-school youth or out-of-school youth. In Ragay, Camarines Sur, fishing is the primary source of living, especially in the coastal barangay of Cabugao and Buenaswerte. This descriptive research determined the level of participation of youth in fishing activities and its socio-economic impact on their living condition. The survey design that was utilised to collect data is a researchers' made questionnaire checklist. A sample of 30 in-school and 30 out-of-school youth in the two coastal barangays were selected using random sampling. The data collected were analysed using frequency counting, percentage, weighted mean. The study reveals that in-school and out-of-school youth agree that the level of participation in fishing activities and fishing affects their living condition along with education, housing condition, health condition, and fishing practices.
