In the Middle East, youth are energetic, well connected, aware of challenges and risks, and are conscious of their rights. Positive youth energy can make a nation, but negative youth energy can do the opposite with equal force. What are some immediate fixes and what should be the long-term strategy to channelize youth energy toward a constructive path? The session will not only discuss uncomfortable problems, but also provide credible solutions. | | | ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION | | In the prevailing economic conditions, diversification is a strong buzzword in the GCC.
