Population, Health, and Environment Approaches Enhance Youth Leadership and Development
(2018) Youth constitute a large share of the world’s population. According to the United Nations, 33 percent of the global population is between the ages of 10 to 29.1 Yet, many youth in the world’s most rural areas—whose needs differ from urban youth—are not receiving critical health services, education, or training.
PACE’s Youth Multimedia Campaigns training program equips youth advocates with the skills to create innovative digital campaigns, tell compelling population health stories, and build movements for policy change within their countries.
The share of older Americans with dementia is decreasing, but the total number will rise as the large baby boomer population ages and more people live longer. While education gives older adults an edge, reducing their dementia risk, racial and socioeconomic disparities in dementia are large.

PRB has developed a web feature, “Understanding the Impact of Medicalisation on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting,” that outlines the best available information on medicalization.
PRB supports the We Decide project in its critical step of communicating new evidence on the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and young people with disabilities and the gender-based violence (GBV) that many of them endure.
