Background: Youth Family Development (BKR) is a government effort through a family approach to respond to adolescent problems that threaten their future life planning. BKR has been formed and spread throughout Indonesia. However, there are still problems in its implementation both in terms of input, process, or output.
Purpose: This literature review aimed to examine the implementation of BKR in Indonesia and find factors that contribute to the success of BKR activities.

Results: BKR activities have been running but with a limited frequency and have not been routinely carried out. The implementation of BKR has been proven to contribute to increasing members knowledge about adolescent health, the role of parents in adolescent growth and development, and improving healthy behavior in adolescents as well as the age of marriage. Factors related to the implementation of BKR activities include adolescent participation, positive community response, support from government and local community leaders, adequate funding sources and infrastructure facilities, human resources, trained cadres, internal motivation, enthusiasm, and cooperation among members, cadres and management, support from Family Planning Field Officers (PLKB), integration with other programs, and collaboration with other parties.
