El Salvador, the third Latin American country more invested in youth
By Portal & Asociados

Called "Public social expenditure in youth 2014-2016", the study was presented in October 23, 2018, and developed with a methodology defined by the UNFPA with support from El Salvador’s National Institute of Youth (Injuve) and the Technical Secretariat of the Presidency (Seteplan).
In El Salvador, social investment in youth reaches 3.7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). An important fact is that most of the resources invested in youth is, mainly, from own funds, which allows to keep the public debt under control. In 2016, for example, only 4%, of social investment in youth was from international loans and/or donations.
Across the world, the UNFPA presents evidence and analysis to support the integration of young people’s rights, needs, and aspirations in poverty reduction strategies. It shows how to make a convincing and evidence-based case for prioritizing the needs of young people among other competing claims for resources for the poverty eradication agenda.
