Reducing the Gap BetweenYoung Talents & Private

Sector

Today’s generation of youth — the largest the world has ever known, and the vast majority of whom live in

developing countries — has unprecedented potential to advance the well-being of

the entire human family. Yet too many young people, including those who are

highly educated, suffer from low-wage, dead-end work

and record levels of unemployment.
