Youth Report 2007 will examine the challenges and opportunities

will provide a regional overview summarizing the major youth
development trends in the fifteen priority areas of the World Programme
of Action for Youth. The report will explore major issues of concern to
youth development, including employment, education, health, poverty and
violence. At the same time, it will highlight youth as positive forces
for development and provide recommendations for supporting their
essential contributions.

Employment
