YOUTH, SKILLS, WORK AND DEVELOPMENT In many countries, the youth generation is among the largest ever. these young people will become an engine of growth if countries can provide them with opportunities. But many are being adequately prepared for this role. unequal access to education locks many young people particularly young women from poor households, into a life of disadvantage. Around one in six of the world's people are aged 15 to 24. they are disproportionately concentrated in some of the poorest countries.the youth population is particularly large and fast-growing in sub-Saharan Africa. Around two thirds of Africans are under 25, compared less than one-third in rich countries such as France, japan, the united kingdom and the united states. By 2030, there will be three and a half times as many young people sub-Saharan Africa as there were in 1980. There are also large numbers of young people living in the Arab States and South and West Asia, where around half are under the age of 25. However, governments must address the enormous skills deficit that leaves young people unemployable or trapped in subsistence work. creating more jobs will not fix the problem if a sizeable proportion of young people do not have the skills needed to fill them. Providing equal opportunities in schooling, while strengthening the quality of education, is an important first step to ensure that young people have the wide range of skills needed to improve their job prospects. Yet many young people have not had access to such opportunities opportunities. These young people are the most likely to be cosigned to unemployment or working for low pay.
