The
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) urged the Myanmar government to
further boost investment in its young people in order not to lose out on
a possible “demographic dividend”, at a three day workshop on the
sustainable development goals held on 10 July, 2015 at the Yangon
University. Myanmar’s youth constitute a formidable potential productive
asset for driving forward Myanmar’s on-going development. To date young
people have been largely absent from participating in political and
economic reforms, including the peace process.
Janet E. Jackson, UNFPA Representative in Myanmar stressed in her
keynote speech the importance of continued investment in young people,
citing the latest census results released in May, which showed that
almost 51% of Myanmar's overall 51.5 population were below the age of
27. Within this group those aged 5-14 are the largest group and
constitutes a "Youth Bulge" that can offer a possible "demographic
dividend". "It is unlikely that this opportunity will come sometime
again. For Myanmar to reap the benefits in the next 10-15 years, there
needs to be targeted investments and work opportunities for young
people, when they enter the working age. Myanmar could otherwise lose
out in a possible ‘demographic dividend'. UNFPA is therefore urging
Myanmar to act quickly and decisively in order for the country to
prepare for reaping the demographic dividend. Investing in a highly
educated workforce as well as creating equal job opportunities for boys
and girls should be at the forefront of the Myanmar on-going social
economic transition," said Ms. Jackson.
In her presentation Ms. Jackson showed a power point slide of a pot shaped pyramid that indicated Myanmar’s population decline, while it simultaneously is witnessing an opportunity for what is known as a “population bonus”. The “youth bulge” of approximately 10 million, presents a unique opportunity for sustainable economic growth. In order for this population bonus to reach its full potential, policies for young people before they enter the workforce, need to be in place. This will to ensure that they have better access to knowledge and skills through a strengthened education system as well as ensure equal opportunities for boys and girls.
