The aspirations and demands of young people around the world are coming under the spotlight in Baku, Azerbaijan this week at a UN-backed conference focussing on global youth policies.

The meeting will bring together policy experts from governments and parliaments, youth networks as well as research and development communities.

They’ll discuss how youth policy can be implemented in war zones, post-conflict settings, and even can tackle the issue of unemployment.

Yael Ohana is an independent expert on youth issues who is attending the conference.

Nikola Krastev asked her what she expects to come out of the gathering.
