The role and leadership of youth in society

: At present, national development is increasingly defined by technological and scientific advancement, with a strong emphasis on competitive advantage. Although technological progress is widely emphasized, the primary agent responsible for its development and application is human capital, and human development plays a crucial role in national development indices. Human development varies across countries, and nations that have effectively developed it tend to progress more rapidly. Socio-economic conditions, government policies, historical traditions, and demographic factors such as age, gender, and social status² influence this variation. Among these, youth represent a particularly important demographic group due to their developmental potential and contribution to society. Youth play a central role in economic, social, political, and cultural development through participation, innovation, and knowledge creation³. Many countries emphasize youth participation in development policies, investing in education, employment, and capacity building as part of sustainable development strategies.
