A "Generation Crossroads"??
The largest numbers of young people are with us today, 700 million youth in Asia Pacific alone! That's 60% of the world's youth 16-24 years...
Better educated, better connected than their peers before, and yet, they stand at these crossroads, uncertain even despairing about what lies ahead....
That was the throughline of our discussion this week with Asia-Pacific Ambassadors - unpacking the choices and opportunities in each country, through the aspirations and voices of young people and the societies they will help shape.
Grateful to the Amb. Do Hung Viet
