Imagine a world where young people's employment rates are on par with those of adults


Imagine a world where young people's employment rates are on par with those of adults. This isn't just a far-fetched dream. If we decrease youth unemployment to adult levels, we could potentially boost the global GDP by a staggering 4.4 to 7.0 percent. This massive change could help alleviate poverty and spur social development. Exciting, right?


Now, this dream is close to reality. National Action Plans for youth employment are being adopted by countries worldwide. This movement, under the Youth Employment Network umbrella, fosters a cooperative environment where countries learn from each other. It also inspires partnerships between governments, private sectors, civil society, and young people. The aim? To let youth employment bloom and help our youngsters realize their potential. For the underprivileged youth, boosting their entrepreneurship and innovation skills can lead them out of poverty, improving social integration and development.


But what about partnerships with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and social enterprises? These organizations, deeply embedded in their communities, can be game-changers. From providing essential services to empowering marginalized communities, they are the glue that binds society and drives social development.


Let's remember the digital world. The digital age has democratized access to knowledge and communication tools, opening a whole new world of opportunities for learning and skill enhancement. It gives a voice to the voiceless, bringing them to the fore of society and economy.


Government policies and investments are the backbone of social development. Focusing on inclusivity and equality in sectors like education, health, and social protection creates an environment ripe for social growth. And by investing in infrastructure and services, they can ensure everyone has access to these opportunities.


So you see, the opportunities for social development are all around us. It's about bringing together governments, civil society, the private sector, and everyone. Together, we can shape a world where everyone has the chance to thrive. Isn't that a world you'd like to be a part of?
