Palestine youth make up 21% of population
The report presents the latest statistical data on youth in Palestine, estimating their number at around 1.2 million individuals aged 18-29, constituting 21% of the total population. Projections suggest that their numbers in the West Bank will exceed one million by 2050. Palestinian youth are facing difficult circumstances due to ongoing Israeli aggression, which has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 73,386 citizens up to August 2026, most of whom are young people. Youth also suffer from high unemployment rates, particularly among women and graduates of academic disciplines, with unemployment among young people in the Gaza Strip reaching 85.5%. Despite these challenges, Palestinian youth demonstrate strong capacities for innovation and resilience, with widespread use of the Internet and smartphones. This highlights the importance of investing in national policies to enhance their skills and create employment opportunities, thereby promoting development and reconstruction.
