The state of youth policy in 2013

Which countries have a national youth policy?

As of January 2013, of 198 countries, 99 (50%) have a current youth policy. A further 56 (28%) are revising their existing or, in a few cases, developing their first national youth policy. A total of 43 states (22%) has no youth policy (yet).

You can access and download most of the existing national youth policies as well as drafts for youth policies under revision at http://www.youthpolicy.org/nationalyouthpolicies/, where we maintain the most comprehensive global overview of national youth policies.
