Young people are the largest rising cohort in human history, and their age structure will drive nearly four-fifths of global population growth through mid-century. That demographic energy of youth leadership is landing in a world of overlapping crises where policy outcomes increasingly hinge on civic participation, credible information, and intergenerational trust. Positioning youth not only as beneficiaries but as co-designers and decision-shapers is therefore a pragmatic development strategy, not just a moral stance.
