Youth need education and job skills to thrive in the modern world

Getting a good education and a job are the top priorities for 10 to 24-year-olds, according to the preliminary results of the largest-ever global survey of young people. The world has more young people than at any time in history. However, many of today’s 1.8 billion youth are not reaching their full potential due to the failure of current legislation and investments to meet their needs. In 2022, school closures in low and middle-income countries during the Covid-19 pandemic left up to 70% of 10-year-olds unable to read or understand a simple text – up from 53% before 2020. This experience highlighted the significance of addressing educational gaps and advocating for improved health education for the youth in our community.
