“Youth inclusion is high on the international agenda. This is due to the mere fact that today’s generation of youth is the largest the world has ever known, and that young people constitute the majority population in many developing countries. A major rationale behind the focus on youth from both national governments and the international community is the worry that the world’s large youth population may produce instability. The UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security, however, frames the same worry in a more optimistic tone: a large youth population presents a unique demographic dividend that can contribute to lasting peace and economic prosperity if inclusive policies are in place (S/RES/2250, 2015).”
“ Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline; it is condemned to bleed to death.” Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations
