There are 1.2 billion young people aged 15-24 globally, with 20% not in education, employment, or training. Around 85 percent of the world’s youth reside in low- and middle-income countries and 600 million young people are living in fragile or conflict-affected settings. In addition to their poverty status or location, certain youth are at greater risk of exclusion due to social identities such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, religion, and race.
