Empowering the next generation to secure a stable and productive future
In short: UNICEF executive director Henrietta Fore discusses the urgent need to support the world's largest youth population. She introduces Generation Unlimited, a global strategy designed to guarantee that every young person has access to education, vocational training, or meaningful work by the year 2030.
Henrietta Fore argues that the current generation of youth faces significant global crises, making it a collective responsibility to provide them with the tools necessary to succeed. The Generation Unlimited initiative serves as a framework to address these systemic challenges, emphasizing that young people must be active participants in shaping the policies that affect their lives, whether within educational institutions or at the governmental level.
While creating these opportunities presents a formidable challenge, Fore suggests that investing in youth is essential for future progress. By ensuring that young people are adequately prepared for the workforce or continued learning, society can harness their potential to drive positive change. The talk highlights the importance of giving youth a genuine voice in decision-making processes to ensure their specific needs are met.
