The role of youth in society
A lecture paper on problems confronting young people in Zimbabwe. ; According to a UNESCO, 1978 document, there are many complex problems confronting young people today. The role of the youth in society, in my view, can best be understood in the context of these various problems facing the youth. The problems can be viewed in the context of operating structures (eg economic, political, social and cultural)* and their interrelationships with each other. In order to put the discussion in its proper perspective therefore, it is necessary to commence by providing a brief overview of some of the major problems faced by the youth in society today.
