From Event

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

The Middle East is experiencing the world's most prominent youth bulge. Yet many MENA economies' institutional designs, both formal and informal, favor the power of business elites, systematically discriminating against young people joining the workforce or opening businesses, and thus limiting their ability to contribute to innovation. Dania Thafer examines the issue of large youth populations and analyzes opportunities for Gulf states to reap their "demographic dividend.”

Demographic data from ISPU’s American Muslim Poll finds that 9% of Muslims in the United States are Latino.
