| Abstract |
All around the world, young people are making decisions about whether to get married, have children, and build family life amid increasingly challenging economic, social, and political conditions. These decisions are influenced by rising costs of living and housing, job instability, intergenerational inequality, digital changes, as well as worries about conflicts, climate change, and political instability. Investing in young people is an investment in the country's future. By providing an environment that is supportive economically, socially, and through family support, we can help them achieve their hopes and aspirations, and in turn build a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient society. |
