BEIRUT — The growing young population in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) can either be a source of growth or a factor of instability, depending on their skills and education, according to a new report titled MENA Generation 2030.
At the beginning of the century, half of the Middle East and North Africa’s population was below the age of 24; in the coming decades, this generation will be a part of an unprecedented influx of working-age people in the region, the report said.
