| Short History |
In 1995, when the United Nations officially recognized International Youth Day, it recommended 15 priority areas for countries to consider when developing guidelines and policy frameworks that give youth opportunities to be full, effective, and constructive participants in society. In addition to promoting participation, the United Nations cited intergenerational relations as being critical to young people's well-being.
On 17 December 1999, in its resolution 54/120, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth (Lisbon, 8-12 August 1998) that 12 August be declared International Youth Day.
The theme of International Youth Day 2013 is "Youth Migration: Moving Development Forward ."
Young people make up a significant share of the global number of international migrants. In 2010, there were an estimated 27 million international young migrants. While migration can often offer valuable opportunities and contribute to the development of communities and society at large, it can also pose risks and lead to unacceptable situations, including discrimination and exploitation.
The 2013 observance of International Youth Day will raise awareness of the opportunities and risks associated with youth migration, share knowledge and information stemming from recent research and analysis on this topic, and engage young people in discussions on their migration experiences.
Addressing the challenges that youth face around the world -- in education, employment, healthcare -- is smart foreign policy. But it is also an opportunity; young people represent a pool of human capital whose potential has yet to be tapped. I am inspired by the energy and passion of this generation and am committed to working in partnership with them to solve some of our biggest global challenges.
