Arab Knowledge Report 2014: Youth and Localisation of Knowledge
This report comes as a continuation of the efforts that have started with the first and second knowledge reports and a pursuit of identifying the capabilities and mechanisms that enable the Arab region to achieve the objective of building a knowledge society and participating in the advancement of the global civilization. The current report aims to discover how to address the integration of the youth,the 19-29 age group,in the processes of knowledge transfer and localization. It attempts at exploring the opportunities and challenges by identifying the status of the Arab youth with respect to their possession of knowledge,cultural,economic and political skills and activities that enable them to contribute to building the knowledge society. The report also explores the status of the enabling environments and their capability to extend these opportunities to the youth. The report includes studies and surveys conducted in a number of Arab countries that aim to measure the youths' ability to interact in a productive manner in the processes of establishing a knowledge society,and to obtain their opinions about the most important and relevant topics,including values,practices and conceptions of the enabling environment that surrounds them.
