Quality Education
Leveraging new technologies for youth social entrepreneurship
The global youth NEET rate has changed very little over the past 10-15 years. According to the most recent data available, almost 185 million young people around 30 per cent of young women and 13 per cent of young men, accounting for 22.2 per cent of the total youth population are not in employment, education or training. NEET youth, the vast majority of which live in developing countries, represent enormous untapped potential for economic development and, more specifically, for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
Executive Summary
The World Youth Report: Youth Social Entrepreneurship and the 2030 Agenda seeks to contribute to the understanding of how youth social entrepreneurship can both support youth development and help accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Towards this end, the Report first synthesizes the current discussion on social entrepreneurship and anchors it in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Chapter 2 of the Report examines the situation of young people and whether youth social entrepreneurship can offer employment opportunities and support youth participation and other elements of youth development. In the third chapter, the Report assesses the potential of youth social entrepreneurship as a source of support for the 2030 Agenda and youth development in its broadest sense and examines relevant challenges within this context. Chapter 4 explores how new technologies can be leveraged to address some of the challenges faced by young social entrepreneurs and to further support youth social entrepreneurship in its efforts to advance sustainable development. The final chapter offers policy guidance to facilitate the development of enabling, responsive and sustainable national ecosystems for young social entrepreneurs.
Youth social entrepreneurship: Potential and challenges
Numerous studies show that todays young people are highly motivated to generate positive social change (Lewis, 2016; Punadi and Rizal, 2017). Social entrepreneurship may have great potential to mobilize youth to engage in efforts to achieve major social objectives, including employment creation, poverty reduction, inclusion and integration. Dedicated to serving the common good, social enterprises established by young people can directly contribute to the achievement of a number of Sustainable Development Goals (Holt and Littlewood, 2014).

Situation analysis
Recruitment is context specific and evolves over time. The scope and nature of violent extremism varies. “Push” and “pull” factors are not the same everywhere nor at all times; and, neither are the strengths and weaknesses of national education systems when it comes to responding to the challenges posed by terrorist and violent extremism groups. At the same time, every country is at a different stage of capacity development and level of preparedness with respect to protecting children from recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups. Depending on the institutional, financial and human resources available and the country’s specific vulnerability to terrorism and violent extremism, different types of prevention activities may need to be implemented. Priorities for action will therefore vary. Conducting an objective assessment of the national situation can help avoid the risk of building on wrongful assumptions and ensure the effectiveness of future policies and programmes.
The need for a comprehensive prevention strategy
The issue of child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups is extremely complex, and often has deep roots. It cannot be addressed exclusively as a crime issue. A selective and limited approach to prevention is likely to miss the opportunity to address the origins of the problem, whether at social or individual level, and thus be inefficient. For this reason, this Manual calls for a comprehensive scope in prevention planning, one that can only rely on the cooperation of multiple and different actors. This is not to say that the justice system has no role to play in this context. On the contrary, the justice system has the primary responsibility for “addressing the threat” by holding perpetrators of recruitment accountable, and keeping society safe. At the same time, the justice system can play a crucial part in ensuring that all children grow up in a protective and nurturing environment, while, at the same time, preventing revictimization of those children who are victims of recruitment.

Effective coordination and cooperation
Effective coordination both at the national and international levels is key to neutralizing child recruitment networks and bringing recruiters of children to justice.
Effective criminal justice practices
This lesson focuses on several strategies and practical measures to disrupt the activities of recruiters and recruitment networks, locally or internationally, and to support effective investigation and prosecution of child recruitment incidents. Many of these measures are successfully and sometimes routinely applied as part of effective counter-terrorism strategies. In some instances, they may need to be adapted to the context and situations where children are the recruiters’ main targets, with due regard to the rights of the children involved and in a child-sensitive manner.
The criminalization of child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups
The prohibition of child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups is founded on at least two sets of international obligations. First, child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups must be prohibited as part of the counter-terrorism framework that obliges States to combat terrorism and to take preventive action to disrupt, terrorist activities at the earliest stage possible. Secondly, child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups must be prohibited as part of the State’s obligations to protect children against all forms of violence.
