The unmapped journey: Adolescents, poverty and gender

Today’s generation of young people is the largest in human history. Nearly half the world’s population— more than 3 billion people—are under the age of 25. Eighty-five per cent of youth live in developing countries. Many of them are coming of age in the grip of poverty and facing the peril of HIV and AIDS. Nearly 45 per cent of all youth—515 million— survive on less than $2 a day.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty

Reduced Inequalities
