About:

The United Nations Development Program is the global development network of the United Nations. It promotes technical and investment cooperation among nations and advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life for themselves.

Background

Lao PDR has the youngest population among countries in the Southeast Asian region, with approximately 60% below 25 years of age. Meanwhile, economic growth in Lao PDR has been significant (at around 6-7%) for several years in a row. Yet, education level and training of young people are unable to keep pace with the booming demand for high-skilled labor, resulting in a gap which is inimical to the country’s economic advancement. Additionally, youth often lack participation in the national development planning decision-making process due to barriers such as limited opportunities for social and economic engagement. Likewise, in this regard, enhancing national policies and youth-related programs which could provide proper socio-economic opportunities to young people to reach their potentials are much needed so that the country will greatly benefit from its large young working population.
