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.
