Youth is the time of life full of promise, aspiration and energy. Between childhood and adulthood, youth is when men and
women are most eager to strike out to secure their futures and to contribute to their families, communities and societies.
This stage of life is crucial in determining young peoples’ paths to achieving productive employment and decent work.
One billion young people will reach working age within the next decade. Providing them with the opportunity to secure
productive employment and decent work is a societal, national and global challenge... We are getting more children to school but we are failing to get
them into productive employment and decent work.
