Skills for Youth. Investing in human capital in Latin America and the Caribbean

GLOBAL | 24 JANUARY 2023 | HYBRID

As a new social, economic and political order is being reconfigured in the post-pandemic world, 165 million young people in Latin America and the Caribbean face a rapidly changing present lacking the skills they need. To navigate complex realities, the youth need the region to build quality education that responds to the demands of the 21st century.

How do we equip youth to thrive and be changemakers while reducing inequality in the region? How do we create more opportunities?
