The European Union is also represented in the G20 YEA. The world faces an unprecedented challenge Most economies are struggling to create enough employment for their young populations. Developed economies are caught between rising deficits, low rates of growth and high levels of unemployment that disproportionately affect youth. There are currently 1.8 billion youth, of which 90% live in developing countries and 2/3rds of those are underemployed. According to the latest ILO statistics there are currently 73 million youth unemployed, accounting for more than 50% youth unemployment in many countries. Entrepreneurship is the solution We believe a global problem needs a global solution. In 2010 an unprecedented new global network was created: the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance. The Alliance is working to promote youth entrepreneurship as a solution to the challenge of economic renewal.
