Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for your time and presentations.
It has been established by many experts that a large part of the economic growth in developing countries will come from the agricultural sector and extractive industries. It has also been observed that the youth population in those countries is growing and will one day represent the majority of the world's population. In developing countries, the majority of the youth is unemployed. This is attracting them to illegal activities, and in some countries to militant groups.
How important is it to provide training and education to prepare the youth to learn demand-driven skills? How important do you believe it is to give them the skills and training for the future? Do you feel that the government should be engaging the extractive sector in delivering this kind of aid? Please answer all these questions if you would.
