World's youth need education and training to prepare for the future!

IN 2015 – Almost half the world's population are people younger than 25 who need investment in education and training now as they prepare to take care of both their children and their parents, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Anan said in a message some years back to mark the fifth International Youth Day.

"Two decades from now, these same people will form the middle generation that supports ever increasing numbers of dependents: not only their children, but their parents as well," he said. "They understand the importance of fulfilling this responsibility, but they will be able to do so only if we invest now and ensure they have the knowledge and skills to take advantage of the opportunities opening up to them."

By 2050, the number of people aged 60 and over would have tripled to nearly 1.9 billion, Mr. Annan noted. "In most societies, older persons continue to contribute actively, yet the dependence between generations will grow ever larger. The ageing of our world is an issue for young people, too."

A World Youth Report, issued cited statistics for 2000 saying 22.5 per cent of the nearly 1.1 billion young people between the ages of 15 and 24 worldwide were living on less than $1 a day. About 133 million of them were illiterate, up to 110 million were estimated to be malnourished and up to 7,000 became infected with HIV daily.

EDUCATE YOUR SELF YOUNG PEOPLE and remember WE ARE THE FUTURE
