Young people currently number 1.8 billion, accounting for approximately 18 percent of the global population2. Youth do not constitute a homogeneous group; their socio-economic, demographic, and geographical situations vary widely both within and between regions. Notwithstanding these differences, regional-level analysis provides a general understanding of their development profile. The vast majority of the world’s youth -- some 87 per cent -- live in developing countries and face challenges such as limited access to resources, education, training, employment, and broader economic development opportunities.
目前世界上年輕人有18億,占全球人口的18%2 。年輕人不是單一的群體,無論是在一個地區之內進行比較,還是在不同地區之間進行比較,他們的社會經濟地位都有著天壤之別。雖然這些差異普遍存在,但地區級的分析報告讓我們對他們的發展狀況有了總體認識。世界大部分青年,大概87%的青年,生活在發展中國家,面對著諸多挑戰,如不能充分獲得教育、培訓、就業和經濟發展機遇的巨大空間等。
The United Nations Millennium Declaration was adopted in 2000 by world leaders, committing their countries to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out time-bound goals on meeting the needs of the world’s poorest. These goals, to be achieved by 2015, formed the basis for what are now known as the eight Millennium Development Goals, which have been broken down into 21 quantified targets that are measured by 60 indicators. With the target date for MDGs coming to a close, the post-2015 development agenda must include youth voices and actions. Young people’s participation and inclusion in efforts to achieve all of the goals in the post-2015 agenda are crucial to ensure a successful and sustainable outcome.
2000年,世界各國領導人通過了《聯合國千年發展宣言》,承諾建立新型國際合作關系,減少極度貧困,并為完成滿足世界最貧困人民的需求這一目標設定期限。這些目標將在2015年完成,為我們所知的八項千年發展目標奠定基礎。這些目標細分為21項量化目標,根據60項指標來衡量。隨著千年發展目標日期不斷臨近,“2015年后發展議程”必須涵蓋青年人的聲音和行動。青年人參與和加入實現所有“2015年后發展議程”的目標,對于確保其成功和可持續至關重要。
The journey so far of youth participation in the Post-2015 Development Processes
目前“2015年后發展議程”的青年參與情況
The post-2015 process has brought together different initiatives ranging from regional consultations to national consultation to thematic consultations, incorporating thematic inputs by the youth through an online and offline platforms. It is crucial to recognize the youth’s participation and partnership in development of the post-2015 agenda. The analysis of nationals consultations, high level panel meetings, thematic meetings and regional forums on youth empowerment show that a multitude of factors need to be addressed in the post-2015 agenda to ensure sustainable development. These factors include education, health care, gender equality, youth unemployment, climate change, prevention of violence and environmental degradation, good governance, peace and security and most importantly youth partnerships as both at individual level and collective level.
“2015年后發展議程”涉及諸多不同的行動,從地區協商到國家協商,再到專題協商,青年通過在線和離線平臺獻計獻策。這意味著青年在“2015年后發展議程”中的參與和合作得到重視。國家協商分析報告、高級別小組會議、專題會議、青年賦權區域論壇都表明,為最終實現可持續發展,“2015年后發展議程”的實施需要解決很多問題,包括教育、醫療、性別平等、青年失業、氣候變化、防止暴力、環境惡化、良好治理、和平安全,以及最重要的——青年在個人和集體層面的伙伴關系。
My World 2015 Global Survey and World We Want 2015 People's Platforms
“我的世界 2015”全球調查和“我們想要的世界”
2015年民眾的平臺
My World is a United Nations global survey for citizens. Working with partners, the aim is to capture people’s voices, priorities and views, so world leaders can be informed as they begin the process of defining the next set of global goals to end poverty.My World 2015 permits individuals to statistically determine and validate what is important for the youth. As echoed by the country declarations, high level panel meetings, regional forums, and related forums, the data also suggest that factors like education, health care, employment, equality in all forms of rights, and ending corruption are important in the post-2015 development agenda.
“我的世界”是一項聯合國全球居民調查。它由合作伙伴共同完成,旨在捕捉人民的聲音、當務之急和觀點,這樣世界領袖們就可以在設定下一組終結貧困的全球目標之前獲知民意。“我的世界2015”使個人能通過統計的方法決定哪些東西對于青年至關重要。正如國家宣言、高級別小組會議、區域論壇和相關論壇中提到的,這些數據表明教育、醫療、就業、權利平等和消除腐敗是“2015年后發展議程”的重要組成部分。
Specifically, it was shown that the most important priority for global youth is a good education, with 74.4% of respondents classifying the priority as one of their choices. By viewing the data based on conditions, like low HDI countries versus high HDI countries, it can be noted that factors like better transport and roads are more important for youth in lower HDI countries compared to higher HDI countries (45.3% of respondents classifying this priority as one of their choices in low HDI countries versus 9.4% of respondents classifying this priority in very high HDI countries). Performing such a thorough analysis from the myworld2015.org data can aid in developing agendas that suit various regions and demographics of youth.
數據清楚地表明,當前全球青年的當務之急是接受良好的教育,74.4%的受訪者將教育視為當務之急。從數據來看,人類發展指數低的國家與人類發展指數高的國家相比,良好的交通道路條件等類似的因素對于青年更重要(在人類發展指數較低國家,45.3%的受訪青年視此為當務之急,而人類發展指數較高國家中只有9.4%的受訪者這樣認為)。在myworld2015.org網站上做全面的數據分析有助于調整發展進程,使之適合居住在不同地區、具有不同人口特征的青年。
The largest contributors of My World survey have been youth worldwide about 70% of respondent both offline and online are young people below the age of 30 years old. We specially want to recognize the agency of youth and youth-led organization and movements that have come from all background to partners and mobilize votes.
“我的世界”調查中最大的貢獻者是世界各地的青年人,大約70%的在線和離線受訪者年齡在30歲以下。我們還要特別指出,青年主導組織和青年運動的代理機構在協助開展活動和推動投票中發揮了巨大的作用。
The above depicts all strata for the respondents of youth aged 15-30. The proportion was calculated by dividing the votes received per priority over the total votes. This value describes how frequently a given priority was selected, based on 1.1 youth participants’ votes. The difference in proportions was calculated based on a reference value. As “a good education” had the highest proportion, it was used as a reference. It is important to note that Sri Lanka, India and Nigeria are the top three countries in total number of votes.
上圖顯示了年齡在15-30歲之間的青年受訪者的分布。比例是由每項“當務之急”所獲得的選票除以總票數計算得來。該圖表顯示的是某些“當務之急”被選擇的頻率,由110萬青年參與者投票產生。比例差額是在參考數據基礎上計算得來。由于“良好教育”比例最高,所以它就成為參考選項。值得注意的是,斯里蘭卡、印度、尼日利亞是總票數最高的三個國家。
Some highlights
重點提示
· As of Monday 25th April 2014 22:00h, 1,855, 746 people have participated in the MY World global survey, from 194 countries.
· About 60% of participants are 16-35 years old, and 12% are under age 15 -- hence a grand population of voters are young people.
· 44% of participants are female.
· 36% of participants are from low income countries -- nearly half (41%) from medium HDI countries; and 22% from high or very high HDI countries.
· 44.5% of participants completed the survey using pen and paper ballots, 30% through the website, and 25.5% through SMS (rounded to the nearest whole number).
· 34% of participants have low education levels and are thus likely to be poor (education is used as a proxy for income in most surveys) -- 12% of participants only had some primary schooling; and another 20% finished primary school.
· 截至2014年4月25日22:00,來自194個國家的1,855,746人參與“我的世界”全球調查。
· 大約60%的參與者年齡在16-35歲之間,12%不到15歲,因此大部分投票者是年輕人。
· 44%的參與者是女性。
· 36%的參與者來自低收入國家,幾乎一半(41%)來自人類發展指數中等的國家,22%來自人類發展指數高和極高的國家。
· 44.5%的參與者用紙、筆填寫選票完成調查,30%通過網站,25.5%通過短信形式(四舍五入)。
· 34%的參與者教育水平低下,因此很有可能貧窮(在絕大多數調查中,教育是衡量收入的標準)——12%的參與者小學肄業;還有20%的人小學畢業。
A Multigenerational response to the My World
“我的世界”參與者年齡層跨度大
Young people are participating in MY World at twice the rate of other age groups. Not only are young people voting on MY World but they are leading outreach across the world by mobilizing their communities including elders. The top 3 priorities for young people under 30 are “Good education,” “Better health” and “Better job opportunities” in general, those 16-30 are more politically conscious, rating “an honest and responsive government,” “protection against crime and violence” and “freedom from discrimination and persecution” slightly higher.
參加“我的世界”調查的年輕人是其他年齡層人數的二倍。年輕人不僅在“我的世界”投票,他們還帶動社區居民包括老年人參與投票,將活動范圍推向世界。30歲以下的年輕人大致選擇的前三項“當務之急”包括“良好教育”、“更健康”和“更好的就業機會”,16-30歲的參與者更青睞政治,因此“誠實、反應迅速的政府”、“抵制犯罪和暴力”、“免除歧視和迫害”的選擇率更高。
Related youth forums
相關青年論壇
Over the past few years, youth forums have taken place across the globe to identify barriers and suggest solutions towards empowering the youth. There was a clear consensus from these forums that youth voices and partnerships are strengthened when united. Providing the platform for youth to interact and develop such recommendations will not only empower the youth, but allow them to incorporate entrepreneurship in approaching solutions in the development discussions. It was noted that without employing youth to do so, implementation of related policies to address issues regarding the youth will not be efficacious. The most important priority that needs to be addressed is ensuring the youth’s voices and partnerships are taken into account in the implementation of the post-2015 goals. This fundamental step will provide the vision necessary to build a sustainable future.
過去幾年,青年論壇在全球范圍內舉辦,旨在掌握青年賦權的障礙、建議和解決辦法。這些論壇達成明確共識:青年的話語權和合作能夠在團結中得到加強。開展青年互動平臺和發展此類項目,不僅能夠實現青年賦權,而且能夠使他們在討論過程中注入開拓精神,尋找解決辦法。事實表明,不賦予年輕人權利,就不能有效地實施相關政策解決青年問題。重中之重是確保青年的聲音能被傾聽。“2015年后發展議程”的實施中要重視合作伙伴關系,這是打造未來可持續發展宏圖的關鍵步驟。
The journey so far
目前進展
Strong youth focus in the High-Level Panel Report 5:
A new global partnership: Eradicate poverty and transform economics through sustainable development
The report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda
HLP identified the following issues in its report to SG: Young people asked for education beyond primary schooling, not just formal learning but life skills and vocational training to prepare them for jobs. In countries where they have acquired good education and skills, they want access to decent jobs. They want opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. They crave mentoring, career development, and programmes led by youth, serving youth. Young people said they want to be able to make informed decisions about their health and bodies, to fully realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). They want access to information and technology so they can participate in their nation’s public life, especially charting its path to economic development. They want to be able to hold those in charge to account, to have the right to freedom of speech and association and to monitor where their government’s money is going.
Youth indented as a crosscutting in all twelve’s goals listed in the HLP: ..Today’s adolescents and youth are 1.8 billion strong and one quarter of the world’s population. They are shaping social and economic development, challenging social norms and values, and building the foundation of the world’s future. They have high expectations for themselves and their societies, and are imagining how the world can be better. Connected to each other as never before through new media, they are driving social progress and directly influencing the sustainability and the resilience of their communities and of their countries. These young people face many obstacles, ranging from discrimination, marginalization, and poverty, to violence. They find it hard to find a first job, so we believe a jobs target with a specific indicator for youth employment, should be included in the next goal framework. Young people must be subjects, not objects, of the post-2015 development agenda. They need access to the right kind of health (including access to SRHR) and education to improve their job prospects and life skills, but they must also be active participants in decision-making, and be treated as the vital asset for society that they are.
HLP goal indicators: While many indicators has clear connecting to Youth some examples below are more closed to youth cohort:
· 2a. Prevent and eliminate all forms of violence against girls and women
· 3c. Ensure every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to lower secondary education and increase the proportion of adolescents who achieve recognized and measurable learning outcomes to x%
· 4b. Increase by x% the proportion of children, adolescents, at-risk adults and older people that are fully vaccinated
· 8b. Decrease the number of young people not in education, employment or training by x% 2
· 8c. Strengthen productive capacity by providing universal access to financial services and infrastructure such as transportation and ICT
· 10b. Ensure people enjoy freedom of speech, association, peaceful protest and access to independent
· 10c. Increase public participation in political processes and civic engagement at all levels
· 10d. Guarantee the public’s right to information and access to government data
· 10e. Reduce bribery and corruption and ensure officials can be held accountable
· 11c. Stem the external stressors that lead to conflict, including those related to organised crime
· 2f. Promote collaboration on and access to science, technology, innovation, and development data
Others areas relevant to youth mentioned in HLP
· …..They (developing countries) already contribute the most to global growth and expansion of global trade. They have young, dynamic populations. They are urbanising, modernising and absorbing new technologies faster than ever before. But they face critical choices. The infrastructure investments they make today will lock-in energy use and pollution levels tomorrow. The way they manage natural resource revenues today will determine the options available to their young people tomorrow. They must make smart choices to turn cities into vibrant places full of opportunities, services and different lifestyles, where people want to work and live.
· Urbanization as a crosscutting: This matters because inclusive growth emanates from vibrant and sustainable cities, the only locale where it is possible to generate the number of good jobs that young people are seeking.
高級別小組報告聚焦于青少年5:
新型全球合作關系:消除貧困并通過可持續發展實現經濟轉型
“2015年后發展議程”杰出人物高級別小組會談報告
高級別小組在給秘書長的報告中提出下列問題:年輕人渴求主流教育以外的教育,不只包括正規學校教育還包括生活技能和職業培訓,為找工作做準備。在能接受良好教育的國家中的年輕人希望能找到體面的工作,他們想要脫貧的機會,他們渴望從師學藝,追求職業發展,需要有由年輕人主導的、服務于年輕人的項目。年輕人希望能夠了解自己的身體健康狀況,并自主決定,充分實現青年的性和生殖健康權利。他們想要獲得信息和技術,以參與國家公共生活,特別是規劃國家經濟的發展道路。他們希望當權者恪盡職守,同時自己能擁有言語、集會自由,監督政府的財政走向。
青年人是實現高級協議中列出的12項目標的中堅力量:…當今青少年人口有18億多,占世界人口的四分之一。他們改變著社會經濟發展,挑戰著社會準則和社會價值,為世界的未來奠定基礎。他們對自己和社會抱有期望,期望世界變得更好。青少年因新媒體與彼此的聯系更加緊密,他們推動社會進步,直接影響國家、社會的可持續性和活力。這些年輕人面臨諸多障礙,從歧視、邊緣化到貧窮和暴力。他們很難謀得職位,所以我們認為通過具體的指標衡量年輕人的求職目標應該包括在下一個目標框架中。年輕人必須是“2015年后發展議程”的主體,不應是發展對象。他們需要獲得健康(包括性和生殖健康)、教育的權利,改善求職前景,提高生活技能,另外他們還須積極參與決策,應被視為社會的重要財富。
高級別小組目標指標:雖然許多指數與青年有明確的關聯,但以下指數與青年群體關系更為緊密。
·2a.預防消除針對女性一切形式的暴力。
·3c.不論何種環境,都應確保每個兒童都有接受初高中教育的權利,將獲得被認可和可衡量學習成果的青少年比率提高至x%。
·4b.將兒童、成年人、高危成年人和老年人充分接種疫苗比率提高x%
·8b.將未接受過教育和培訓、失業的年輕人數量減少x%
·8c.普及金融服務、提供交通、信息通信技術等基礎設施,以加強生產能力
·10b.確保人民享有言論、集會、和平抗議的自由,獨立自主
·10c.提高公眾在政治進程中的參與度,提高各級公民參與
·10d.保障公民信息知情權和獲得政府數據的權力
·10e.減少賄賂、腐敗,確保官員問責制度
·11c.排除引起沖突的外部壓力,包括那些與集團犯罪相關的因素
·2f.推動合作,共享科學、技術、創新和發展數據
高級別小組涉及的有關青年的其他方面:
…它們(發展中國家)已經成為全球增長和全球貿易擴張的主力軍。他們的人口年輕、有活力。它們不斷城市化、現代化、吸收新技術的速度快于以往。但它們也面臨著重大抉擇。它們今天對基礎設施的投資,可為明天減少能源使用和污染。它們今天管理自然資源收入的方式將決定明天年輕人可選擇的余地。它們必須作出明智的選擇,把城市打造成生機勃勃、充滿機遇、服務齊全、生活方式多種多樣、人們想要工作和居住的地方。
城鎮化是捷徑:城鎮化具有重要地位,因為包容性的增長源自充滿活力、可持續發展的城市,這樣的城市是唯一能夠產生青年人正在尋找的良好就業機會的地方。
Moving forward
勇往直前
What is clear is that young people’s participation is central in realizing the fate of the present MDGs and in both the development and the implementation of a youth led-post-2015. The youth population has to be recognized and their priorities must be addressed; strengthening youth participation in the development discussions is the best way for the implementations to be successful.
青年的參與是實現當下聯合國千年發展目標和由青年領導的“2015年后發展議程”的關鍵,這是顯而易見的。青年必須獲得認可,必須著重強調他們的優先權;在有關發展的討論中加強青年參與是實現成功的最佳方式。
1. YOUTH PARTICIPATION AND EMPOWERMENT: Through active participation, young people are empowered to play a vital role in their own development as well as in that of their communities, helping them to learn vital life-skills, develop knowledge on human rights and citizenship and to promote positive civic action. To participate effectively, young people must be given the proper tools, such as information, education about and access to their civil rights.
1.青年參與和賦權:通過青年的積極參與,青年被賦予權利進行自身發展并在所屬的社區中扮演重要角色,幫助他們學習至關重要的生活技能,獲得在人權和公民方面的知識,促進積極的公民行動。青年有效地參與必須有適當的工具,如有關獲得公民權利的信息、教育和途徑。
2. GOVERNANCE: The data from www.myworld2015.org suggest that the youth are characterizing honest and responsive governments as one of the most important priorities in the post-2015 development agenda. The youth have discussed that democratic governance is important in the development process. This includes states encouraging active youth civic participation as a means of holding government and national institutions accountable. By allowing increased meaningful and inclusive participation of youth in the decision making processes in all levels from local, sub-national, national, regional to global
2.管理:來自www.myworld2015.org的數據表明,青年將誠信負責的政府作為“2015年后發展議程”的重中之重。青年已經討論了在發展過程中民主治理的重要性。其中包括國家鼓勵青年公民的積極參與作為政府和國家機構負責的一種方式。通過增加有意義的和包容性的青年參與,使青年在地方、省市、國家、區域到全球各級決策過程中發揮作用。
3. EDUCATION6: Education is another essential element in the transition to adulthood. However, a substantial number of young people in developing countries continue to face challenges relating to educational access and quality. Although the global youth literacy rate increased from 84 per cent during the period 1985-1994 to 89 per cent during the period 2000-2006, progress has been uneven, with youth literacy rates below 80 per cent recorded in sub-Saharan Africa and in Southern and Western Asia (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2008). Large disparities in educational quality and access also exist within countries owing to factors such as income, location, gender, and ethnicity. A universal commitment to young people’s education will continue to stimulate their innovative and creative thinking, which is important in promoting communities that can support each other. A call for youth centered education that builds their competencies, democratic and social justice values and employability/entrepreneurial skills.
3.教育6:教育是青年過渡到成年的另一個重要因素。然而,在發展中國家仍有大量的年輕人繼續面臨與教育途徑和質量相關的挑戰。盡管全球青年識字率從1985-1994期間的84%上升到2000-2006期間的89%,發展仍不平衡,在撒哈拉以南的非洲和亞洲南部和西部,青年識字率仍低于80% (聯合國科教文組織,2008年)。由于收入、地位、性別、種族等因素,國內教育質量和途徑差異懸殊。對青年教育的承諾將繼續激勵他們的創新和創造性思維,這在促進社區發展,相互支持方面至關重要。我們號召提高以青年為中心的教育,增強他們的競爭力,形成民主和社會正義的價值觀,提高就業能力/創業技能。
4. EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP7: Youth are concentrated in areas with limited access to basic social services. Employment is an integral part of the transition to adulthood and plays a central role in the social integration of young people. It provides youth with economic security and facilitates their participation in society at multiple levels. Youth access to employment essentially translates into income and resource access, both of which are pivotal to shaping adaptive capacity (United Nations, 2007b). However, young people continue to be overrepresented among the world’s unemployed; in 2007, youth comprised only 25 per cent of the working-age population but accounted for more than 40 per cent of those who were jobless (International Labour Organisation, 2008). The global youth unemployment rate for 2007 stood at 12 per cent, or three times the adult rate. In South-East Asia and the Pacific, youth unemployment rates as high as six times those of adults have been recorded (International Labour Organisation, 2008). For the vast majority of youth living in developing countries, unemployment rates tell only part of the story. For young people in these areas, informal, non-secure, and low-wage employment is the norm, with labour activity among youth concentrated in agriculture and related industries and in the informal sector. Employment must be addressed in the post-2015 development agenda. Continued encouragement of the youth to develop their entrepreneurial and innovation skills will directly aid in sustainable development.
4.就業和創業7:青年都集中在基本社會服務有限的地區。就業是青年過渡到成年的一個必不可少的部分,在社會融合中扮演著中心角色。它為青少年提供了經濟保障,促進他們在社會中多層次的參與。青年就業途徑本質上是收入和獲得資源的途徑,這兩者是塑造適應能力的關鍵(聯合國,2007b)。然而,青年仍然是全球失業的代表;2007年,青年只占勞動人口的25%,而占失業人口的40%多(國際勞工組織,2008年)。2007年全球青年的失業率達12%,為成年人失業率的三倍。在東南亞和太平洋地區,青年失業率是成年人失業率的六倍(國際勞工組織,2008年)。對于生活在發展中國家的絕大多數年輕人,失業率只反映了一部分事實。這種境遇的年輕人常常面臨非正規的、不安全的、和低工資的就業,勞動活動集中在農業及相關產業和在非正規部門。就業必須在“2015年后發展議程”中著重強調。繼續鼓勵青年發展創業和創新能力,這將直接有助于可持續發展。
5. HEALTH CARE: Health care is viewed as a fundamental human right; governments and organizations must make a concerted effort to produce and deliver a basic package of health care services that are youth-friendly and include high quality, integrated, equitable, comprehensive, affordable, acceptable, confidential, and free-of-stigma care. These facilities must be accepting of young men and women for LGBTQI, MSM, drug users, refugees, rural populations, migrant workers, persons with disabilities, or are living with HIV and AIDS. It is only with a healthy young population that will allow for continued progress towards achieving sustainable development across the globe. A special focus on mental health of young people has been recognized worldwide.
5. 衛生保健:衛生保健被視為一項基本人權;政府和組織必須齊心協力給青年提供基本的衛生保健服務,包括高質量的、綜合的、公平的、全面的、負擔得起的、可以接受的、尊重隱私的、無歧視的醫護條件。這些設施必須接受男女同性戀者、吸毒者、難民、農村人口、農民工、殘疾人、艾滋病患者等。只有實現青年人的健康才能繼續在全球范圍內實現可持續發展進程。應當特別關注青年的心理健康,這已獲得全世界的認可。
6. GENDER EQUALITY: In the post-2015 development agenda, there must be a special focus that endorses a greater representation of young women in politics; these individuals have equal say in pertinent policy and structural changes that directly impact the future. Additionally, the post-2015 agenda must address harmful traditional practices against girls and young women, including forced marriage, gender-based violence and violence against girls/women. Education and health care must be delivered in a gender-sensitive manner. Encouraging young women to participate in local, sub-national and national governments will aid in developing a rights-based approach to solving many of the gender-related issues in developing nations. This calls for a stronger focus on young women worldwide – harnessing their potential and leadership in development and implementation of the global agenda. The need to focus on most marginalized young women has been stronger: young women with disabilities, indigenous young women, minority young women, LGBTQ young women, young women affected by HIV/AIDS, young women subjected to violence and exploitation, young women in conflict and post conflict/disaster situations, rural and urban young women youth etc.,
6.性別平等:在“2015年后發展議程”中,必須特別關注支持更多的青年婦女參與政治。這些人在相關政策和結構變化方面具有平等的話語權,將對未來產生影響。此外,“2015年后發展議程”必須消除針對女童和年輕女性有害的陋習,包括強迫婚姻、性別暴力。教育和醫療必須以性別敏感的方式來傳達。鼓勵年輕女性參與到當地、省市和國家政府的工作將有助于借助政權來解決發展中國家中許多與性別有關的問題。這需要更加關注全球年輕女性——在制定和實施全球議程時,利用她們的潛力和領導力。需要更加關注最邊緣化的年輕女性:殘疾的年輕女性、土著年輕婦女、少數民族年輕女性、年輕同性戀女性、感染艾滋病毒/患艾滋病的年輕女性、遭受暴力和剝削的年輕女性、在沖突和沖突后/災難情況下的年輕女性、農村和城市年輕女性等。
7. ADDRESSING INEQUALITIES8: While the MDGs highlighted that freedom, equality, tolerance, and solidarity are fundamental values that must be addressed, there are still issues regarding inequality that are pertinent for youth throughout the globe today. One of the primary factors that led to these issues is the notion that inequalities arise from disparity among social justice and what is fair. However, the Global Thematic Consultation on Addressing Inequalities demonstrates that there is more than just a difference for inequalities; without understanding and articulating various indicators present in causing inequality, additional strides in minimizing the gap between two groups will not be efficacious. Inequalities have consequences for everyone in society; as such, a development framework is necessary to define and accomplish goals. These goals must ensure that conditions such as poverty, violence, preventable deaths, malnutrition, and denial of basic services are diminished completely. The need to focus on most marginalized youth has been stronger, harnessing and promoting participation and partnerships of youth with disabilities, indigenous youth, minority youth, LGBTQ youth, youth affected by HIV/AIDS, youth in conflict and post conflict/disaster situations, rural and urban poor youth, etc.,
7.解決不平等8:雖然聯合國千年發展目標強調自由、平等、寬容、團結是基本價值觀,在當今世界,仍然有許多與青年相關的不平等問題亟需解決。導致這些問題的主要因素之一是社會中的不公平。然而,全球解決不平等主題協商會表明,不平等不僅僅是指有區別;如果不理解和闡明導致不平等的各種因素,就不能有效縮小差距。社會不平等對每個人來說都會造成影響,因此,非常有必要定義要實現的目標。這些目標必須確保消除貧困、暴力、可預防的死亡、營養不良和基本服務的缺失。需要更加關注最邊緣化的青年,利用和促進青年的參與和合作,包括殘疾青年、土著青年、少數民族青年、男女同性戀青年、感染艾滋病毒/患艾滋病的青年、在沖突和沖突后/災難情況下的青年、農村和城市地區的貧困青年等等。
8. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT: It is clear that the fate of climate change and the environment is uncertain. The data suggest that, while not necessarily the most important priority, climate change and protecting the environment is an issue that needs to be discussed for sustainable development. This is especially vital in regions of the world where climate plays a large factor in the daily lives of the youth. The youth have discussed and called upon the need for more funding by governments and civil societies towards climate research. There needs to be recognition of failure of climate change and environmental sustainability from the MDGs and a call for young people to voice their opinions on pertinent issues like access to clean water and sanitation services and food security. Bringing climate change and environment to the list of key priorities that need to be addressed will not only ensure effective provisions of funding, but will also create a platform for young leaders to develop new practices to ensure basic services are acquired throughout the developing world.
8.氣候變化與環境:氣候變化和環境的前景顯然是不確定的。數據表明,雖然氣候變化和環境保護不一定是最需要考慮的問題,但是它們是可持續發展所必須討論的。氣候在青年的日常生活中扮演了一個重要的因素,這在世界各地都尤為重要。青年人已經討論并呼吁政府和民間社會投入更多資金來進行氣候研究。需要認識到聯合國千年發展目標內關于氣候變化和環境可持續發展的目標并未實現,應當呼吁年輕人表達出他們對獲得潔凈水、衛生設施服務以及糧食安全等問題的意見。將氣候變化和環境作為優先解決的事件,需要確保資金的有效投入,還需要為青年領袖創建一個平臺進行新的實踐,以確保能夠向世界發展的全過程提供基本服務。
9. PEACE AND SECURITY: While the data suggest that peace and security is not among the top priorities of the youth in the development world, it is still an important issue that must be discussed. Particularly in certain regions where peace and security are very unstable, the youth demand a post-2015 world in which there is strengthened international cooperation between governments, NGOs, INGOs, and the private sector. Utilizing mass media may help in promoting this cooperation among the public. The youth have called on such governance bodies and organisations to ensure peace and security in all regions; in doing so, young people can work together towards developing sustainable measures in the post-2015 agenda.
9.和平與安全:盡管數據表明和平與安全并不是發展中國家青年發展的首要任務,但仍然是一個必須討論的重要問題。特別是在某些地區,和平與安全還非常不穩定,青年需要在2015年后的世界加強政府間、非政府組織、國際非政府組織和私營部門之間的國際合作。利用大眾媒體有助于促進公眾間的這種合作。青年已經呼吁這樣的治理機構和組織確保所有地區的和平與安全,通過這種做法,年輕人可以一起努力實施“2015年后發展議程”中的可持續發展措施。
10.CRIME AND VIOLENCE: UNODC Global Study on Homicide presents a statistical overview of the regional crime conditions. Its findings indicate that the world average intentional homicide rate (a proxy for levels of crime and violence), is 6.9 per 100,000 inhabitants and, more specifically, that the homicide rate in Africa is 17.4 per 100,000; Asia 3.1 per 100,000; Europe 3.5 per 100,000; and the Americas 15.5 per 100,0009. Higher levels of homicide are associated with low human and economic development. The largest shares of homicides occur in countries with low levels of human development, and countries with high levels of income inequality are afflicted by homicide rates almost four times higher than more equal societies10.
10.犯罪與暴力:聯合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室對地區犯罪條件進行了統計學概述。調查結果顯示,全球平均故意殺人率(代表級別的犯罪和暴力)為每100,000名居民中就有6.9人,更具體地說,非洲的謀殺率是每100,000人中有17.4人;亞洲為每100,000人中有3.1人;歐洲為每100,000人中有3.5人;美洲為每100,000人中有15.5人9。高水平的謀殺與低水平的人類和經濟發展有關。最大的兇殺案發生在人類發展水平較低的國家,收入極不平等國家的謀殺率是較為平等社會的近四倍10。
Despite the marked geographical differences in homicide trends at the macro level but also further down the territorial scale, there is evidence from all regions of the world that most of those who become involved in crime, whether organized, gang-related or street crime, are young and male. Some 80% of homicide victims globally are male, mostly young men in the 15-29 year age-group, as are their perpetrators11. In many low-and middle-income countries, children and young people form the predominant age group and offer a continuous source of recruitment for gangs, drug dealers or traffickers.
Social or “developmental” prevention programmes that advance poverty alleviation and social and economic development, and that recognize and respect cultural diversity are important and cost-effective investments that need to be balanced against deterrence and law enforcement measures. Evidence presented in the Global Burden of Armed Violence 201112 indicates that deconcentration of income inequality, proactive social inclusion and targeted youth employment and education schemes can have a positive effect on the onset, duration and dynamics of violence. Experience has shown that carefully targeted projects which actively involve young people living in the most vulnerable communities in education, leadership and skills training, entrepreneurship and job creation, can build resilience to crime, violence and victimization by providing the conditions and possibilities for alternative life-styles to drug and gang involvement.
盡管與謀殺相關的顯著地理差異不僅體現在宏觀層面及領土范圍,但也有證據表明世界所有地區參與犯罪的人,無論是否有組織、幫派或是街頭犯罪,大多數為年輕男性。全球約80%的謀殺案受害者是男性,大多數是15-29歲,行兇者也類似11。在許多低收入和中等收入國家,兒童和年輕人形成了突出年齡群體,成為幫派、毒品販子和毒販提供了一個持續的招聘來源。
社會或“發展”預防規劃推進扶貧和社會經濟發展,承認和尊重文化多樣性是重要的,具有成本效益的投資需要與威懾和執法措施保持平衡。2011年武裝暴力全球責任報告所呈現的證據表明,消除收入不平等,積極的社會包容和有針對性的青年就業和教育計劃對暴力的形成、持續和烈度有積極的影響12。經驗表明,有針對性的項目與生活在最脆弱的社區青年有關,涉及教育、領導能力和技能培訓、創業和就業等方面,能提供另類生活方式的條件和可能性,可以應對犯罪、暴力和受害以抵抗毒品和黑幫介入。
