GCC youth constitute 38.2% of population
The number of young people in the Gulf Cooperation Council states, aged between 15 and 34, was approximately 23.5 million in 2024, representing 38.2% of the population, with a relatively balanced gender distribution. Data indicates that this demographic group plays a key role in sustainable development efforts, although the proportion of youth has decreased compared to 2010, while the percentage of adults aged 35 and above has increased. By 2050, the youth population is expected to rise to 28.6 million. The labor market has also seen increased youth participation, with 14.2 million young workers in 2025, including 2.5 million nationals who make up 43.5% of the employed citizens.
