Something very important is the fact that there are young intelligent people who want to do something with their lives but can't do anything because of the financial situation in their countries, families (households) etc.
I know that from my own experience, cause I'm Preparing My PHD who is looking at this very moment in a book named "Strategic management", it is a very difficult subject,but I love it.
I really love it, but I'm not so sure that it has any relevancy for my future. Why?
Because although I would like to in, for example, USA or London, or i some other country where I could finish or perfect PHD studies,
I can't do it because I don't have enough money to go on my own, and I don't have any uncles or brothers in these countries. I will do my best to be the best, but sometimes it is not enough.

The fact is that young, perspective, educated people are not taken seriously in my country (Egypt), but also in many others. I don't want to be a pessimist, but something must be changed in politics, laws of our countries. We young people, with "fresh brains" could maybe even help our countries to get rid of these boring crises, to get it over with the tranzition process and to become a normall country.

Impulse the private sector action

Dear Colleagues worldwide,

When I see the impact of public efforts or the Non profit organizations
efforts for fighting against poverty, I see the following results:

Most of the resources of international aid for development is managed
By public institutions and NGO's.
Most of the projects they manage do not bring the real impact in
Reducing poverty.
Most of private organizations or individuals do not have access to
These projects.
Most of the resources are being spent.
Most of those projects are victims of corruption.
Lots of NGO's participate in corruption, because there are a lot of
These organizations created only with a business vision. They want to be
profitable enterprises hidden in their legal condition for capturing
financial aid.
So, I propose to the international institutions as World Bank, or the
United Nations, to review their policies for giving their financial aid
for development in developing countries.
The corruption is hidden in many cases with very well done informs by the public or NGO institution who is managing the resources and the poverty is not being alleviated.
We need the international agencies to promote the participation of
Private sector and individuals in those kind of projects as protagonists actors in coordination with the public and NGO's control.
Here in developing countries is not working the transparency and in many cases we have traffic of influences with the development projects without achievement of poverty reduction goals and rather promoting corruption, violence and poverty.
Private sector is a very good tool for building a best future for all.
It is only matter of review policies and procedures to include this in the
development projects.

CREATE JUSTICE IN THE WORLD

What should youth do in order to fight poverty around the world?
Lets be realistic to answer this question. All international
Organizations (such as, World Bank, IMF, WTO and even the UN) that are supposed to create collaboration among states and fight poverty are themselves the
main source to increase it. The role of these organizations are very
important as they have real impact on the flow of goods and capital
among states. However, we all know how they operate. They simply follow the
script written by US and other rich countries
For example read: J.Stiglitz. "Globalization and its discontents".
How can poverty be decreased without limiting the role of rich countries in these
organizations?
These organizations must do what they are supposed to do.
Poverty reduction projects held by these organizations do not
Concentrate at the roots of problems as such these projects seem like guise and
behind the scene things done differently.
In order to fight poverty we need
PEOPLE WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, simply RIGHT PEOPLE TO RULE
GLOBALISED WORLD.
It is obvious that at the moment it is difficult to appoint such
people as decision makers in international organizations, as all
current directors are chosen by politicians from rich countries.
But we have HOPE for the future and this HOPE relies heavily on current young people. We should try to do everything that will help to create justice in the
world. There is no other way than justice if we want eliminate poverty in the
future. We should start with our own countries. The second main source of
poverty is corruption in governments of developing countries. So, without
eliminating it there is no point to talk about poverty reduction issues
in international arena.

EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING NEW PROJECTS
Institutional education versus experience: watch the formal education and experience advantages, like young entrepreneur’s way of learning and propose methods that maximize youth’s characteristics.

*The role of young people
No one-generation has been so large or so young like the present generation.
Humanity’s future has never depend so much on only one generation.
More or less a fifth of the world’s population is between 15 and 24 years old, this proportion will go down to 40 % in 2030. This decrease is grater than in the demographically stagnant societies, like United States, Europe and Japan.
Latino America’s future rests with it’s young people.
No one generation has been confronted with rapid changes and transcendental transformations like present, the question is, how to ensure that this generation can build a sustainable future? The answer to this question can come from young people themselves, if we give them the opportunity to express themselves, Although we have enormous differences in the field of education, no one generation has been so educated, and so conscious of the world’s multicultural nature.
Neither they have been so informed, about the uneven economical and social levels and conflicts they induce.
Today young people are politically more conscious than their parents, they have the desire and the potencial to participate in the civic and cultural life.
They want to have the opportunity to develop a role in the decision making process.

*Young people’s economic participation
At the present time, two fifths of the population between 12 and 24 years old participate in economic activities, in the meantime the rest are dependent on someone else for their economic means, must of these dependents are students.
Young peoples´s activities condition, change significantly according to their age. The majority of people between 12 to 24 are full time students. In the meantime the age of is increasing, their , possibility of begin to work or work in their home and stop studying, increase.
This means, the students between the ages at 15 to 19 years old, represant less than half of the students.
Young people between 20 to 24 years old represent one tenth of total students.
There fore 60 % of young people, between the age of 12 to 24 years old are in the work force.
Young people’s employment and educational activities change according in the area which they live. Factors to be considered, are rather the area, if is rural or urbanized and also the sex of the young person.
Per capita , urban areas tend to have more students than in less urbanized areas.
In less urbanized areas, young people go to work at an earlier age.
International experience has shown, that if a country’s development increases, so does work productivity, family income and resources for education. This permits young people to continue their education and delay entering the labor force.

*Relation between education and income
There are important differences between types of employment and salary level ,when worker’s age and sex are considered.
In fact if there is lower age, there is lower salary.
There is also a notable difference between the income of young men and young women.
Young men tend to be paid a higher salary than young women. Less education (identified with job skills) means low productivity, this equates with lower salaries. This way of thinking is based in an uncompleted understanding, about productivity sources. This is the result of the combination, of the technology level, work organization, worker ethics.
As a result of this, skills needed to work, decreases.

Defining youth and poverty
By Waleed Sadek


1. WHAT IS YOUTH?
A youth is a person who is neither an adult nor a child,
but somewhere in between. Thus, it is vulnerable and needs special attention and support from the community.
Youth is a person that:
- is not yet fully physically, psychologically and emotionally mature
- hasn't yet met its basic personal and social needs to be safe, feel
cared for, be valued, be useful, and be spiritually grounded
- hasn't yet built all the skills and competencies that will allow it to
function and contribute in the daily life Commonly, a youth is defined as being somewhere between age 12 and age 24,
with different countries adopting more narrow
definitions within that frame.
The usual international definition refers to the age limit of 24, because by
that time adolescence has passed, physical growth has been largely completed, and most people have acquired some form of education,
developed basic life skills, and maybe even got employed. However, in most countries of the world, the age limit of becoming an adult is slowly moving upwards.
In developing countries this is happening because many young people can't find a job and are not able to leave their parents and support themselves nor form a family of their own.
In my opinion it would be best if we accept the descriptive definition of youth as given above and not set any definite limits regarding age.
Feel free to comment on this.

2. WHAT IS POVERTY?
A person is considered poor if his or her consumption or income level
Falls below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs (for example for nutrition, health and shelter). This minimum level is usually called the "poverty line". What is necessary to satisfy basic needs varies across time and societies. When estimating poverty world-wide, for the purpose of global aggregation and comparison,
the World Bank uses reference lines set at
$1 and $2 per day in 1993 Purchasing Power Parity.
Absolute poverty can be contrasted with relative poverty which is a poor standard of living, or a low income relative to the rest of society.
Unlike absolute poverty, it does not necessarily imply that physical human necessities of nutrition, health and shelter cannot be met; instead it
suggests that the lack of access to many of the goods and services expected by the rest of the contemporary society leads to social exclusion and damaging results for the individuals and families in relative poverty.

So poverty leads to a feeling of powerlessness. Many of us die from hunger and disease. I will do my best to do something, but I am
afraid no one could help us."

There is a concept in sociology known as "the culture of poverty".
It was introduced by American scientists who conducted surveys in the slums of American cities. They came to the conclusion that poverty is not a temporary lack of money, but a psychological condition that has a serious impact
On people it makes them lower their aspirations, conditions them to accept their "fate" and be content with little. Fatalism is expressed in the
conviction that it is impossible in principle to escape from poverty.
Hence, the material well-being nurtures the philosophy of winners who are confident that success is a legitimate reward for their efforts.
Conversely, poverty breeds social outsiders who are either prepared to give up any hopes of success or merely acknowledge that they have only themselves to blame for failure. Teenagers from well-to-do families feel more comfortable and do better at school than their poor peers whose mothers have the same educational level. Thus, while the rich would obviously aspire to become the elite of the society, the poor are already reconciled to the future role of social outsiders. These values and stable behavior patterns which are part of the culture of poverty are passed on "as inheritance" to future generations and this creates a vicious circle of poverty.

young people, education and poverty solution

I think that to communicate and to change ideas between young people worldwide is the first best step in a global approach of poverty,
In order to prevent the transfer of this problem between different geographical, political or ethnical zones or between sexes (see “feminization of poverty”) or to prevent other partial and temporally solutions.
To communicate is a mean to see how the old world split in
political or religious blocks shaped our mentality and generate today a wrong image on causes of poverty.
Our ideas are now the result of an
education that considers only the “world” inside a 2-300 km circle.
A partial solution is a wrong solution!
On the other hand a global approach on poverty is possible, in my opinion, if we find a new and general political language (the discussion
about the future of English accepted in our countries.
That means to accept some common values to guide our futures leaders.
The education will have to prepare our people for the election of the new race of global leaders. Don’t forget that the responsibility for the election is of ALL and is not transferable to some “old and famous experts” or to
some “young people with a strong personality”! So the education concerning the new leaders is more important on the level of ordinary people.
To solve the poverty is a problem for the future decades. The education is the general ingredient, but we must to want an assault on poverty.

a friend once told me, we can never be united for the wrong reasons. he
Stood for his principles and resigned from his office. Yes, we are not
the idealist breed of youth for nothing.
Each one has a purpose and our purpose is to make a difference, while being young, to the fullest. Can it be postponed?
When are we going to do our share, when we are already?
Retired? Married? Rich?
When we just don't have time anymore?
My friend who resigned wanted to do all the things he wanted to pursue
While being young.
Since he is still single and an only child, he wants to devote his life volunteering his services and skills.
After all he says, he won't do it forever, but while still young.
With the right energy and enthusiasm,
He merely wants to strike the iron while it's hot.
And in the end, he wouldn't have regretted his youth.
I admire him for his tenacity and clear-sightedness.
I'm certain that given an equal chance, many more young leaders want to be like him.
But in the 3rd world like ours, the economics of life is always legitimate in the equation.
Those who are economically free can indeed do more....
Or am I wrong??

Dearst Friends,
How are you all?
Today is a very spcial to me Because he will be my Birthday
I hope to go next year to more and more Steps in my life and my Carrer, also I hope to share others and help them
