In 2022, approximately 21.64 million young people between the ages of 15 to 19 years old lived in the United States. This was a slight increase from the previous year, when 21.57 million young people aged 15 to 19 lived in the U.S.

The number of unemployed youth worldwide decreased gradually from 2010 to 2019, but then increased in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2024, there were an estimated 64.5 million unemployed youths between 15 and 24 years worldwide. Highest youth unemployment globally The countries with the highest rates of youth not in education, employment, or training (NEET) include Niger, Kiribati, Guyana, Somalia, and Afghanistan. While there is geographic diversity in this group, each of these countries are either low-income or low-middle income. Moreover, each has their own set of challenges contributing to high NEET rates. For example, in Afghanistan this can be attributed to conflict and the 2021 Taliban takeover. In Kiribati and other Pacific Island nations, they face high levels of brain drain to larger economies such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Lowest youth unemployment globally On the contrary, countries with the lowest youth NEET rates include Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, and Malta. Factors such as well-structed vocational training programs and affordable university education contribute to low NEET rates. However, these countries still face their own challenges. For example, one contributing factor to such low NEET rates in Japan is the overall shrinkage of the Japanese population, which is simultaneously aging. While unemployment remains low in the country, it faces the potential crisis of not having enough people to support the labor market.

States report information from two reporting populations: (1) The Served Population which is information on all youth receiving at least one independent living services paid or provided by the Chafee Program agency, and (2) Youth completing the NYTD Survey. States survey youth regarding six outcomes: financial self-sufficiency, experience with homelessness, educational attainment, positive connections with adults, high-risk behaviors, and access to health insurance. States collect outcomes information by conducting a survey of youth in foster care on or around their 17th birthday, also referred to as the baseline population. States will track these youth as they age and conduct a new outcome survey on or around the youth's 19th birthday; and again on or around the youth's 21st birthday, also referred to as the follow-up population. States will collect outcomes information on these older youth at ages 19 or 21 regardless of their foster care status or whether they are still receiving independent living services from the State. Depending on the size of the State's foster care youth population, some States may conduct a random sample of the baseline population of the 17-year-olds that participate in the outcomes survey so that they can follow a smaller group of youth as they age. All States will collect and report outcome information on a new baseline population cohort every three years.

The landscape of civic, social and youth organizations is undergoing a transformative period marked by shifting engagement dynamics and financial strategies. Recent trends reflect a movement towards digital innovation as organizations adapt to changing member preferences. Organizations have been compelled to revisit their plan with a demographic shift favoring older adults and declining traditional membership. The community's evolving needs demand innovative approaches to maintain relevance and foster engagement. Partnerships and technology integration have become crucial for managing costs and enhancing operational efficiency. Organizations strive to optimize volunteer networks and improve member participation to sustain service-focused missions in an increasingly digital age. Revenue is expected to rise at a CAGR of 5.0% to an estimated $26.4 billion in 2025, including a projected 0.9% increase in 2025 alone. In recent years, profitability in the industry has strengthened with a decisive shift toward digital platforms, which has allowed for a reduced reliance on physical venues. This transition lowers operational costs and redirects resources to outreach and member engagement. Associations have focused on costs, such as wages and facilities, to enhance financial sustainability. Volunteer labor has proved instrumental in offsetting wage expenses, helping organizations maintain service delivery within constrained budgets. While marketing efforts take a backseat in such organizations, effective social media use has facilitated community involvement without hefty expenditures. Reduced purchase and utility costs contribute to greater budget predictability, which supports more effective financial planning. Donations from individuals and corporations are anticipated to grow in the next five years, driven by rising disposable incomes and favorable economic conditions. The expanding number of college students presents new engagement opportunities. However, organizations should adapt to younger generations' preferences for digital interaction. Strategic partnerships with businesses and other nonprofits will prove vital, as these collaborations can expand reach while leveraging shared resources. Foundations are expected to prioritize educational programs, signaling opportunities for nonprofits to enhance their community impact. Efforts to address public health initiatives will likely receive continued support, encouraging organizations to focus on health-related offerings. By embracing these trends and maintaining agility in their strategic approaches, organizations can bolster their relevance and profitability in the coming years. Industry revenue is set to increase at a CAGR of 1.7% to reach an expected $28.7 billion through the end of 2030.

Abstract

From December 2009 to March 2010 the World Bank with the help of Moroccan government conducted a study of the country's young people and their engagement in economic and social activities. Researchers from the World Bank's Sustainable Development Sector of the Middle East and North Africa region utilized a mixed-method approach to study factors that impede the economic and social inclusion of Moroccans aged 15 to 29. The Morocco Household and Youth Survey (MHYS) used two survey instruments to gather quantitative data: Household Questionnaire and Youth Questionnaire.

The study used a nationally representative sample of 2,000 households, in which 1,216 households were located in urban areas and 784 households in the rural areas. The Youth Questionnaire was administered to 2,883 young people between the ages of 15 and 29, representing about 90 percent of the youth in the surveyed households. Information was collected on topics such as economic inclusion, community participation, and use of key public services. The survey was able to examine little studied issues relating to youth such as participation in the labor force, intermediation, career choice, perceived job possibilities, use of time, use of recreational and educational activities targeting young people who have completed formal education.

The focus groups discussions supplemented MHYS.

Sampling procedure

The sample size for the Household Questionnaire was 2,000 households with 1,216 found in urban locations and 784 in rural locations. The 2,000 households were drawn from the 2004 General Census of Population and Housing. For determining the number of households in urban and rural locations, proportionality of the possible locations was used to ensure representativeness. The proportionality was based off the disaggregation of Morocco into primary units in which there are about 600 households. In the end, 125 primary units were randomly selected, with 76 rural primary units and 49 urban primary units. From these 125 primary units, 16 households were randomly selected giving us the total sample size of 2,000 households.

For the Youth Questionnaire, the sample size was 2,883 individuals between the ages of 15 and 29. These 2,883 individuals came from the selected households in the Household Questionnaire. If there was an individual or individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 living at the selected household, the Youth Questionnaire was administrated. More details on sample design are provided in Appendix 2 in "MHYS Basic Information Document".

The MHYS contains several data files, with each file pertinent to a specific section. For the case in which there are multiple sections per data file, it is because they share similar levels of observations.

The households are identified by the variable "hid" which consists of the region, province, commune, and enumerator area in which the household is located. This allows the household members to remain anonymous yet statistically unique. This is extremely important especially when it comes to merging different datasets.

Merging data sets will depend on which files are being merged. The key to merging the MHYS data files will be to use unique variables.

For the data sets, the "hid" variable will be the unique variable used to perform the merge at household level; "memid" will be the unique variable used to perform the merge at individual level.

The variable "q5" which signifies enumeration area is scrambled to preserve anonymity of sampled households.

The weights are provided in the data file "weights" and can be merged.
