The youth demographic in the Philippines plays a significant role in shaping the country’s present and future.
With 30 million individuals aged 10-24 comprising 28 percent of the population and a median age of around 26 years old, the Philippines boasts a dynamic, energetic and connected generation increasingly attuned to global trends.
While the Filipino youth are remarkably resilient and adaptable – eager to take charge of their lives, innovate and contribute to a better society – it is crucial to hone into the importance of focusing on education and other empowering interventions for the youth in the country. These are deserved national priorities.Recognizing this pivotal role of youth, the Philippines has implemented several key initiatives.
• Promoting youth entrepreneurship: Create a supportive ecosystem for young entrepreneurs, including access to financing, mentorship and market opportunities, to unleash their creativity and drive economic growth. All this requires a joint commitment between government, civil society, the private sector and international partners like the EU to strengthen the existing framework in the Philippines where all young people may have the opportunity to thrive, innovate and contribute to building a more prosperous, equitable and sustainable society.
