 Aspirations and Resilience: Arab Youth & The COVID-19 Era Approximately 240 million people in the Middle East are under the age of 30. As surveys have shown, there is little gap in aspirations between young Arabs and young Americans. With greater awareness of the world around them, these youth are motivated to improve their socioeconomic conditions, enhance the quality of education they receive, and secure better healthcare. Why should Americans care about the aspirations, frustrations, and concerns of Arab youth? Instability in the region, and the failure to create job growth, stable economies, human rights standards, and more has contributed to tumult and restlessness that have affected not only these countries, but much of the world. Join The Hill today at 1:00 PM ET for Aspiration and Resilience: Arab Youth & The COVID-19 Era. We will explore how Arab youth see their options and conditions in the time of COVID-19.
