Infrastructure Development

Inclusivity in infrastructure is quickly becoming a key consideration for many governments of both developed and developing nations. Many countries are looking for ways to ensure that every member of society has the chance to benefit from economic growth. As part of this, they are examining the role that infrastructure has in achieving that goal.

Infrastructure can play an important role in tackling youth issues, such as unemployment, skills development and training. Benefits generated by inclusive infrastructure development include reduced inequalities and disparities, which provide the stability to not only boost but also sustain economic growth and social equity in the long-term.

Youth engagement as key stakeholders in the driving of infrastructure development that enhances positive outcomes in social inclusivity and ensures no individual, community, or social group is left behind or prevented from benefiting from improved infrastructure, is therefore a necessity.
