Description

“Adolescents’ Health and Rights”

As the world’s biggest generation of adolescents in history – more than one billion of them – enters adulthood, their future may depend largely on what they know, and do, about sex and reproductive health.

How much will it cost to finance adequate education and health for such a large segment of humanity? What approach does the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) advocate for sex education? And to what extent has HIV/AIDS broken the taboos that surround frank talk about sexual relations?

The guest on this edition of World Chronicle is Stan Berstein, the principal researcher and editor of UNFPA’s “State of the World Population” report.
