How much of the world population is young?

📍 Today, the world counts 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24 – about 22,5 per cent of the global population, according to the United Nations.

📍 Today’s youth is the largest generation in history.

📍 Close to 90 per cent of these, live in developing countries, where they make up a large proportion of the population.

🌍 Africa has the youngest population of any continent. By 2030, young Africans are expected to make up 42 per cent of the world’s youth and account for 75 per cent of the those under age 35 in Africa.

📍There is no universally agreed international definition of the youth age group. For statistical purposes, however, the UN - without prejudice to any other definitions made by Member States—defines ‘youth’ as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years.

📍 The physical age of youth is sometimes categorized to be between 15 and 35 years.

🎉 International Youth Day takes place on August 12.
