Resumen
Descripción
The objective of this fast brief,
presented in two parts, is to illustrate several concrete
examples from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA),
Europe and Central Asia (ECA) and Latin America and
Caribbean (LAC) regions of youth-focused Analytical and
Advisory Activities (AAA), investment lending, and
grant-funded engagements, which can inform the growing work
program in the region. As highlighted in the policy note
youth an undervalued asset: towards a new agenda in the MENA
young people are becoming an increasing priority for MENA
countries. If well utilized, the current youth bulge
represents a demographic gift leading to investment
opportunities as large segments of populations enter their
productive peak years. However, if investments fail to be
made or do not reach young people, the youth bulge may well
turn into a drain on growth and society.
