Nearly half of the 34 Member States that participated in the general gave a voice to young people, who were disappointed by the slow implementation of plans and programs of action adopted at international level in this area. These young delegates also demanded greater participation in decision-making. Some have suggested an intergenerational approach, particularly in the field of employment.
