The Situation of Adolescents and Youth in the Middle East & North Africa Region
by: UNICEF MENA Regional Office
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the numbers of young people. All countries in the region have a youth population (here defined as ages 10-24) comprising 22 to 36 percent of the total population; proportions unlikely to change in the near future. The growing numbers of youth (projected at 121 million for the region in 2009) presents an exciting window of opportunity for the countries of the region to capitalize on this abundance of young people and to translate it into human, material and economic gains.
