There are approximately 1.3 billion teenagers (defined as individuals aged 10-19) in the world.
This substantial demographic represents roughly one-sixth of the global population. This number is expected to continue growing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where nearly 90% of the world's teenagers reside. Understanding the size and distribution of the teenage population is crucial for addressing their specific needs and ensuring their well-being. This includes access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for personal and professional development. Investing in teenagers is essential for building a sustainable and equitable future.
