ADDRESSING THE 100 MILLION YOUTH CHALLENGE
Dec 15, 2013
Originally compiled in English by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Arab World, the Arabic version of this report has been produced by Silatech. The report is a collection of essays published to provide a direct response to the Arab world’s uniquely high level of youth unemployment.
Funded by Silatech, this report is the first study that captures the effect of the January 2011 revolution on entrepreneurship in the country using a nationally representative sample.
In this piece originally published in the Libya Herald, Paul Dyer and Hafed Al-Ghwell “provide a basic overview of the elements of a multi-pronged economic strategy aimed at moving Libya from its current state of economic malaise to an emergent, private-sector-led economy while helping Libya avoid the obstacles that often occur in oil-dependent economies.”
Prepared just prior to the Arab Spring, this report anticipates the demands for social and economic inclusion articulated by Moroccan young people especially following February 2011.
