More info on the Salzburg Global session: www.salzburgglobal.org/go/549. Today's youth face an identity crisis. Youth should symbolize rising hopes, endless possibilities and the energy to reach personal goals. Yet societal systems in many countries are failing young people, as reflected in poor educational, professional and health forecasts - especially for youth on the margins. Too often, economic and policy frameworks struggle to promote social and educational mobility at scale, despite the opportunities supposedly opened up by globalization. The program Youth, Economics, and Violence: Implications for Future Conflict was convened by Salzburg Global Seminar, with support from the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, at Schloss Leopoldskron, Austria, April 26 to May 1, 2015.
