According to the U.N report approximately one billion youth live in the world today. This means that approximately one person in five is between the age of 15 and 24 years, or 18% of the world’s populations are "youth”. The majority (almost 85%) of the world’s youth live in developing countries, with approximately 60 percent in Asia alone. |
