Around 150 million young people in member countries of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) are excluded from education, employment and vocational training opportunities, Director of the Economic and Social Infrastructure Department of the Islamic Development Bank, Idrissa Dia, said at the session titled "Youth Without Borders: Driving Shared Regional Prosperity" held within the framework of the Islamic Development Bank Annual Meetings in Baku, APA-Economics reports.
According to him, one in every five young people in the world is neither studying, working, nor receiving vocational training: "The youth unemployment rate is 28% in Arab countries, while it averages 14% in the Central Asia and Caucasus region."
He stressed that the main problem is not a lack of talent or ambition among young people, but the existence of barriers that prevent them from realizing their potential.
