Definition

  • Half of the world's citizens today—more than 3 billion people—are under the age of 25, and the vast majority of them are growing up in communities ill equipped to ensure their health and well-being. Many are the victims of violence and social unrest, while others are lost and adrift, out of school, unable to find a job, and with little hope for a better future.
