UNICEF Data: The State of the World’s Teens

UNICEF has released its latest “State of the World’s Children” report, and The Guardian has posted the data on its website to compliment its story on UNICEF’s findings.


Although ostensibly about children, UNICEF’s report pays quite a bit of attention to the world’s teens, noting that while much attention (i.e., education, health care, social development funds) is paid the first ten years of life, little really addresses the needs and the problems of adolescents. It’s a cautionary note: “The report argues that adolescents are often marginalised in development budgets and programming, and that if this is not corrected then investment in global poverty, health, education and employment goals will be compromised.”
