Youth Bulge

The "Youth Bulge" refers to a demographic pattern where a significant portion of a population consists of young people, typically ages 15 to 24. This phenomenon often occurs in developing countries due to high birth rates and declining mortality rates. While a youthful population can bring energy and innovation, it also presents challenges, such as high unemployment and pressures on education and healthcare systems. If not managed properly, this imbalance can lead to social unrest and political instability, as young people may feel frustrated by a lack of opportunities.
