Young Entrepreneurs Share Their Stories

  • Youth Employment in Post-Conflict Afghanistan

    Although war-stricken and hostage to grief and calamities, Afghan youth are the builders of a peaceful and progressive Afghan State.

  • Creating a Youth Employment Center

    A few months before International Youth Parliament 2000 (IYP2000), I started a project called the Career Planning Center, with the aim of helping young professionals from the Balti region find a job.

  • Young Entrepreneurs Club

    We are the young editors, collaborators, and staff writers of Vietnamese Students magazine. Our magazine is led by youth; 90 percent of the articles are written by young people, and all the staff members are under 25. We have a widespread network of students and readers across the country, and we distribute more than 100,000 copies per week.

  • YES Country Networks Bring Youth Leaders and Policymakers Together for Joint Action

    In preparation for YES 2002, young people on every continent have organized YES Country Networks to focus attention on the issue of youth employment and to create a structure that will respond to the Summit’s call for a Global Campaign for Youth Employment.

  • Information Kiosks in Rural India

    With 22 telephone lines and 3 computers per 1,000 people, India has a very poor basic information and communication infrastructure. Even though this infrastructure is highly concentrated in urban areas, Internet access via the telephone is still difficult and expensive in urban areas. In rural India, more than half of India’s villages lack telephone connectivity, let alone Internet access.
