Iraq Human Development Report 2014

The Iraq Human Development Report 2014 focuses on the challenges and opportunities facing Iraqi youth, emphasizing their critical role in shaping the country's future amid ongoing political, economic, and social transitions. It highlights the demographic advantage of a youthful population, but warns that without effective policies, this could lead to increased unemployment and social instability.

The report identifies key challenges including underemployment, inadequate education, gender inequality, and limited civic participation, while advocating for youth empowerment through inclusive development strategies, improved governance, and targeted policy reforms. It stresses the importance of engaging youth directly in the development process and offers tools like the Youth Development Index to monitor progress.
