Remind us, the statistics are too simplistic to take at face value. As age inequality is socially constructed, it changes due to different factors in society.
Gender & youth
Young females suffer specific inequality not suffered by males. 'Harmful practices, including FGM, femicide, gender-based violence & damage to girls' physical being & self-worth by reinforcing gender-based marginalisation.'
Education, youth & gender
Countries such as Pakistan state that education is the right of all, yet statistics show there is a huge disparity in gender & schooling.
