In a statement issued on Saturday, the Council
highlighted the current challenges facing the
Arab world including high
unemployment rates, especially among the youth, according to Al-Mamlaka.
The statement said education did not align
with the labor market's needs, lacked focus on reproductive rights,
gender equality and was contributing to regional development disparities.
The Council emphasized that various factors
such as population migration, unexpected rates of voluntary and forced
migration, displacement, high fertility rates, accelerated demographic growth,
and limited human capital, especially among the youth in some countries, can
increase pressure on the region if not met with adequate policies and
practices.
