Creating Livable Cities for All Ages: Intergenerational Strategies and Initiatives |
|
High-income countries at present tend to have relatively large and growing aging populations. Conversely, in most low-income countries children and youth account for very large proportions of the population. Notwithstanding these divergent demographic situations, current and projected changes in the composition and distribution of population in high- and low-income countries alike provide opportunities for strengthening weakened social safety nets, promoting economic sustainability, and improving social integration in cities by adopting development strategies that support intergenerational initiatives.

Global Partnership Initiative |

The greatest threat youth face today is exclusion and marginalization from
decisions that affect them. Unemployment, crime, HIV/AIDS, neglect by the
authorities and often abandonment to their fate because of various forms of
discrimination top the list of problems young people face in African towns
and cities. At the same time, urban youth in developing countries possess
immense potential to contribute to social development if afforded the right
opportunities. The challenge of putting youth at the centre of development
strategies can be compared to the challenge, two decades ago, of putting
women and gender issues on the development agenda. It is no longer
conceivable that problems of developing countries can be resolved without
focusing on the role of women. A similar paradigm shift is required with
respect to youth in development
