The Power of 1.8 Billion

Number of pages: 126

Publication date: 17 Nov 2014

Author: UNFPA

Publisher: UNFPA

Young people matter. They matter because an unprecedented 1.8 billion youth are alive today, and because they are the shapers and leaders of our global future. They matter because they have inherent human rights that must be fulfilled. Yet, in a world of adult concerns, young people are often overlooked. This tendency cries out for urgent correction, because it imperils youth as well as economies and societies at large.
