Mongolia presents human development report.

Mongolia presents human development report. Mongolia launched the sixth National Human Development Report entitled “Building a Better Tomorrow: Including Youth in the Development of Mongolia”.  A key overriding message of this report is the contribution of youth to building a better tomorrow in Mongolia. This contribution depends largely on the capabilities and opportunities open to youth in making choices. Through the medium of the human development approach, it analyses the opportunities, choices and challenges facing young people in Mongolia today. This approach places people at the center of development. It concentrates on enlarging people’s opportunities and choices to live long, healthy and productive lives. UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative Beate Trankmann said “Mongolia is a young country. Accounting for over a third of the population, youth aged 15–34 years represent the largest demographic group in Mongolia, and a significant share of working age people. Even by 2040, when the country’s population is expected to reach 4 million, almost 30 percent will still be young. That is why this 6^th National Human Development Report for Mongolia zooms in on young men and women aged 15-34 years old.”
