In most countries that suffer recurring crises, more than 40% of the population is under 15 years old and population growth rates are greater than 2% per year. Such rapid growth is challenging for communities and governments as it doesn’t help them to keep pace with basic social sector needs, such as building new schools and health clinics, training new educators and health care professionals, and investing the additional resources needed to expand agricultural extension services, create jobs for young people, build resilient institutions and infrastructure, and provide humanitarian assistance during crises.
