The United Nations and Youth Sample Clauses

The United Nations and Youth. Lesson 1: Statistics on Youth In this unit we will learn about the role of the UN in relation to the development of the sustainable development goals and the role of youth in this process. To start with this unit, we will provide some relevant data related to youth. Today, 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24 constitute the largest generation of young people in history. About 90 percent of them live in developing regions, where they are the most populous. These numbers are only going to increase: nearly 1.9 billion young people will turn 15 between 2015 and 2030 alone. According to a VisualCapitalist report, Africa has the 10 countries with the highest proportion of young people, while Japan and Europe have the highest rate of older adults. The age demographics of countries are determined by two key factors: fertility and mortality. Throughout history, it was typical to see both birth and death rates at higher levels. But today, in most parts of the world, women are having fewer children, and innovations in healthcare and technology mean we are all living longer. The average person today lives to 72.6 years old, while the rate of births per woman has fallen to 2.5. These trends have drastically altered the demographics of mature economies, resulting in a much older population. In many developing countries, however, births still outweigh deaths, resulting in populations that skew younger.
