Southeast Asia
• Youth make up about 19% of the region’s total population.
• Over 60% of the world’s youth live in Asia-Pacific. This translates into more than 750 million young women and men aged 15-24 years.

Progress
• Significant strides made in educational attainment. The region is on track to meet MDG 2 on universal primary education.
• Net enrolment in secondary education steadily increasing: now 64.1%, slightly above the world average of 62.5%.

Challenges Ahead
• Transition to the labour market remains a major challenge; youth unemployment more than double the rate of the total working age population.
• The proportion of adolescent and youth migrants in the total international migrant population is 19% in Southeast Asia, most of them are women.

Gender
• Gender inequalities have been reduced at all education levels, primary, secondary and tertiary, in most countries.
• Young women, however, are underrepresented in the labour market, and are an untapped resource for future economic growth.
