(1) As of 2023, there are an estimated 2.4 bil-
lion people in the world between the ages of 10–29 
years of age, which represents the largest number of 
young people to have existed in human history, with 
90 percent of youth (ages 15–24) in developing 
countries, and 1 out of every 4 young people directly 
affected by conflict, violence, and crisis. 
(2) More than 1 billion children and youth are 
exposed to violence each year. Failure to properly 
address adversity experienced during childhood (ages 
0–17) and youth (ages 10–29) can lead to lifelong 
deficiencies and compromises future opportunities 
for individual, community, and national develop-
ment. 
(3) The majority of the population in many 
conflict-affected countries is younger than 20 years 
of age, with some countries having more than 70 
percent of the population who are younger than 30 
years of age. 
(4) Only 2.2 percent of parliamentarians are 
under 30, and less than 1 percent are young women. 
Youth therefore remain underrepresented around the 
world in peacebuilding, political decision-making 
processes, conflict prevention, management, and res-
olution, and post-conflict resolution relief and recov-
