“Addressing Youth Unemployment: The Importance of Connectivity and Emerging Technologies” was the theme discussed at the recent Regular Meeting of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) of the Organization of American States (OAS), held on April 30, 2024, and organized in partnership with the Young Americas Business Trust (YABT).

The second Regular Meeting of 2024 of the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG), held in Washington, D.C., concluded with a call from the youth to the Member States of the Organization of American States (OAS) to prioritize support for youth participation, entrepreneurship, and investment in youth.
