The Potential of Adolescent Girls
Today’s adolescent girls are the face of courage, strength and resilience – the powerful change-makers driving progress in their families, schools and communities.
Equipped with the right resources and opportunities, the world’s 600 million adolescent girls can become the largest generation of female leaders the world has ever seen. Employment in the 21st century workforce is projected to focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and social entrepreneurship.
Globally, about 1 billion girls and women lack the skills they need to succeed in rapidly changing job markets while 1 in 4 girls aged 15–19 years is neither employed nor in education or training compared to 1 in 10 boys of the same age.
