Survey of Young People in Egypt

Abstract: 
"Young people are powerful catalysts for social and economic development and change. In Egypt, approximately 61% of the population is under the age of 30, and 40% is between the ages of 10 and 29. These young people are making the transition from childhood to the roles and responsibilities of adulthood—as workers, citizens, spouses, and parents—in the wake of two revolutions since 2011. Under the right circumstances, this “youth bulge” could propel the country economically. But without the right investments in young people’s health and education, as well as opportunities for productive livelihoods, their future prospects—and possibly the future of Egypt—will be limited. To develop policies and programs that meet their needs, the Egyptian government and program managers require solid, reliable data about the challenges young people face."
