Honourable Samantha Marshall Minister of Social Transformation, Human Resource Development, Gender and Youth Affairs Feature Address Caribbean Region Commonwealth Youth Ministers’ Meeting


In October 2011, a report commissioned by Commonwealth Heads of Government made the following compelling statement:
At least 60 per cent of the Commonwealth’s population is under    30 years of age.
That is significantly lower than the global average of 52%.
Therefore the future of the Commonwealth – and of the world it 
shares – is inexorably tied to the future of these young people.
