Involve youths in productive activities :
Our country has been going through a golden age of demographic dividend since 2014. It is a period when the young population of the country outnumbers the elderly. Japan, Singapore and many other nations developed themselves by utilising their young generation properly during this period.
If we fail to use the potential of the youth, we have to suffer in the long run. Our vision to become a middle-income country will not be successful. We earnestly urge the policymakers to pay more attention to involve the youth in productive activities by investing more in education and creating new jobs.
