Description

"World Youth Report: New Concerns"

'Youth' is a term refers to nearly one fifth of humanity: young people between the ages of 15 and 24. Traditionally, they have been concerned with issues such as education, employment, and access to decision-making. But what are the new concerns of the new generation? Are governments - and.the United Nations - paying attention? Is access to information and communication technologies becoming essential for participation in youth culture? Can there be a common ground for young people on both sides of the 'digital divide'?

These are just some of the questions discussed in this episode of World Chronicle, with guests Julie Larsen of the UN Programme on youth (DESA) and Luis Davila Ortega, of the NGO Global Youth Action Network.
