Over the next 10 years, competition for jobs in developing countries will be tough—it is estimated that a billion young people in developing countries will be competing for 300 million jobs. In this recent interview in Motley Fool, Mercy Corps’s President Nancy Lindborg talks about their Silent Disasters program, which addresses the crises that fall through the cracks of public attention. One of the ways Silent Disasters seeks to improve youth unemployment is through job training kits. These kits fund training programs specific to different regions, such as Kyrgyzstan and Lebanon. Kids learn to participate in the global economy, thrive in a steady job, and become financially literate. Teaching young people about finance can benefit their entire community.
