Education Development Center, 2002 - Vibrant, creative, and energetic – these words essentially sum up today’s youth. Ironically, the same qualities in youth, if thwarted, lead to social unrest, conflict, and economic instability. Young people when productively employed are an asset to their communities and to the world. It is imperative that structures be generated to ensure sustainable employment and sustainable environments for young people. But the reality is that there are a billion young adults – between the ages of 15 and 24 – in the world today, eighty-five percent of them live in developing countries where there are few opportunities for productive work.
