About 18% of the world's population make up people young age. To focus on the problems faced by youth, the International Day of Solidarity of Youth is organized.
How easy it is to be young? The answer to the assigned question depends on the set of nuances. After all, it is among young people the biggest percentage of unemployed and drug addicts.
The history of the holiday begins to count since 1957, it was this year that he was noted for the first time. The initiative to create a youth holiday belongs to the World Federation, uniting the democratic youth of the planet (WFDM). The purpose of creating a holiday was to draw attention to social support issues young generation, ensure the widest possible opportunities for education, leisure activities.
The holiday was decided to celebrate April 24th. The Day of Celebration is defined on the anniversary of the final meeting of the Conference of Africa and Asia. This event was aimed at combating colonialism phenomena, it took place in 1955.
WFDM actively attracts attention to the problems of young not only government agencies, but also wide sections of society, the means of information. After all, it is no secret that most of the problems are not solved for years, because they are not considered about them.
One more an important goal The holiday is the need to unite all young people of the planet to solve their problems. Youth should feel that, uniting, you can do a lot.
The holiday should serve the rapprochement of young people from different countries. After all, despite the difference in languages, cultures and mentality, in almost all corners of the planet, the problems of young people are similar.
Unfortunately, the problems of young people with one meetings on the congresses will not be able to solve. Pictures of the world, which are drawn at these events, often differ dramatically from reality. It is important that society understands that you do not need to decide for young, what literature to read what songs to listen and where to spend your leisure. But at the same time did not let youth policy on samonek. It is necessary to try to find a compromise when young people would have the opportunity to fully implement the potential laid in them and become useful society.
Of course, the state cannot solve the problems of young people without actively participating in this young people themselves. Therefore, it is very important to show young that they are an important part of society and their opinions are very important and valuable.
The history of the creation of a youth organization
WFDM is social organizationwhich was organized after the completion of the Second World War. It is considered the continuer and the successor of the youth section of the Comintern.
Over the years of existence, the WFDM experienced a rise and fall, however, and in our time continues to actively function, collecting various youth unions of many countries under its aegid. Her central office is located in the capital of Hungary.
At the initiative of WFDM, youth festivals were held, which were invited to active young people from different countries. This event was first conducted in Prague in 1947. The motto of this mass event It became the struggle for peace, the eradication of fascism, the propaganda of ideas of international solidarity.
After a decade after the Prague festival, a similar event was organized in Moscow. It was it that has become the most crowded in the entire history of such events.
Traditions celebration
Over the years of the holiday, the holiday has developed quite sustainable traditions of its conduct. On the day of youth, a variety of congresses, kids, conferences were held. The main sponsor of events was the USSR, so after the collapse of the country, the holiday lost the former scope. Nowadays, he is usually noted with the support of the left parties.
However, the organization festive events On this day, it is necessary to entrust the representatives of young people in order not to turn the holiday into the protocol event.
So, how do this holiday celebrate in our time? Forces of public associations, various charitable events are organized, the fees from which are directed to the solution of pressing youth problems: drug addiction treatment, propaganda safe sex etc.
In addition, educational promotions are organized. Stock Foto Exhibitions, Shows documentary film Allow young to understand how their peers lives in different countries.
It does not cost the celebration of the Day of Youth without entertainment events. On this day, various concerts are held, mass disco under open sky etc.
However, despite the abundance of entertainment activities, this holiday has serious goals. Society should understand that the silence of the problems of youth is the way to nowhere, since, it is young - this is the future of the planet.

The General Assembly in its resolution 60/209 noted that one of the fundamental and universal values \u200b\u200bthat should undermine the basis international relations In the 21st century, solidarity is, and in this regard, it was decided to proclaim on December 20 of each year by the International Day of People's Solidarity.
This day reminds us of the importance of solidarity in the implementation of agreed on international Level agreements, including programs of action of international conferences and multilateral agreements. At the meeting on summit In interest social Development Governments have committed themselves to contribute to the eradication of poverty as an ethical, social, political and economic imperative of humanity.
Supporting the concept of solidarity as is crucial in the fight against poverty, it was also provided as part of the participation of all relevant stakeholders in such an initiative as the establishment of the UN General Assembly of the World Solidarity Fund in order to combat the elimination of poverty as the Trust Fund for the United Nations Development Program. The purpose of the Foundation is to eradicate poverty and promoting development human potential and social development in developing countries, in particular among the poorest segments of the population of these countries.

Basic information about the international bottom of the solidarity of people.

"
In addition, strictly adhering to the spirit of solidarity, the organization in its daily activities relies on "Implementation international cooperation Resolution international problems Economic, social, cultural and humanitarian character. "
Manual Development Report 2010: Analysis of trends in 40 years shows that poor countries achieve success in developing faster pace. In the 20th, the UNDP anniversary report notes that long-term health and education progress does not depend on income. The report introduces new indices to assess gender issues, poverty and inequalities.
IN recent decades Most developing countries have achieved impressive, but often underestimated progress in the field of health, education and main indicators of living standards, and large success Many poorest countries have achieved. This is stated in the report published here today on the development of man 2010, which contains a detailed new analysis of the long-term dynamics of the human development index.
However, as the 2010 Man Development Report shows, the achievement models differ significantly, and some countries in the period after 1970 have lost their positions.
Using three new statistical index, The 20th annual issue of the report indicates a large-scale innerland and intercountry inequality, deep imbalances between women and men by wide spectrum Development Indicators, as well as the prevalence of extreme multidimensional poverty in South Asia countries, as well as sub-Saharan Africa.
Reports on the development of man, since 1990, annually prepared by the Organization of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), in editorially independent of UNDP.
At the presentation of the report of 2010, the real wealth of peoples: the path to the development of a person-performed Secretary General UN Pan Ki-moon, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and Laureate Nobel Prize AMARTIA SEN, who, together with the economist Mahbubo-Ul-Khak, the founder of this series of reports, now deceased, helped to develop the human development index (IRCHP), starting from the first report on the development of a person in 1990. The reports on the development of a person and the IRCHP challenged the purely economic indicators of national achievements and helped to lay the conceptual basis for the United Millennium Development Goals, calling for a consistent global monitoring of health, education and education progress general standards Life level.
"The reports on the development of man changed our view of the world," Pan Ki-moon said today. "We realized that although economic growth is very important, ultimately, the importance of the national income, which provides all people a chance to live a long, healthy and more productive life."
The first report on the development of a person was introduced by a pioneer indicator of the IRCP and the development indicators for the previous decades were analyzed. It was concluded: "There is no automatic communication between the economic growth and progress of man." The strict review of long-term trends and retrospective analysis of the IRCP indicators for most countries for the period, starting in 1970, show that there are no sustainable correlation between national economic development indicators and achievements on IRCP indicators not related to health - health and health and Education.
"The report showed that people are already healthier today, rich and educated than before, - noted Helen Clark. - Although not all trends are positive, countries can make a lot to improve people's lives even in adverse conditions. This, however, requires bold places leadership, as well as a tireless determination by the international community. "
In general, as shown in the analysis of all countries contained in the report, on which there are full data on the IRCP over the past 40 years, the life expectancy at birth increased from 59 years in 1970 to 70 years in 2010; Education coverage increased from only 55% of all children in a typical age for primary and secondary education up to 70%; And the GDP per capita doubled, exceeding $ 10,000. This progress touched people in all regions, although in varying degrees.
For example, in the Arab states between 1970 and 2010, the life expectancy at birth increased by 18 years, and in sub-Saharan Africa - for eight. One hundred thirty-five countries surveyed covers 92% of the world's population.
"Our results confirm with new data and analysis of the two main conclusions of the" Report on the Development of Man ", which caused disputes from the very beginning:
that human development is different from economic growth and that significant achievements are possible even without rapid growth, "said Jeni Krugman, the main author of the report. - We also managed to take a fresh look at the countries reached best results, and changing progress models. "
The list of the top ten presented in the 2010 report - which includes those of 135 countries who mostly increased the IRRC over the past 40 years, - the heads of Oman, for several decades, invested energy revenues in education and health care.
The remaining nine countries belonging to the top ten leaders are China, Nepal, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Laos, Tunisia, South Korea, Algeria and Morocco. It is worth noting that China was the only country in the top ten of leaders exclusively due to the dynamics of income; The main reasons for achievements in the field of HRCP are related to health and education. The second tens of leaders in improving IRCP over the past 40 years includes a number of low-income countries, but high IRRs - "which, as a rule, cannot boast of success stories," the report says. Among them, Ethiopia (11th place), Cambodia (15th place) and Benin (18th place).
All of them have achieved great success in education and health care.
As part of the general model of global progress, the differences between countries are amazing. Over the past 40 years in quartiles (25%) of countries with the worst indicators, the increase in HDI did not exceed 20%, while in the Leader Group, an average increase was 54%. But if we take into account the group indicators, then the lower quartile of countries in the ranking of the 1970 IRCP has improved its rates in a faster pace than the upper, and the average increase in it was 61%. As the authors emphasize, the diversity of national development paths, reflected in the report, suggests that there is no uniform sustainable progress formula.
The region with the fastest pace of progress in the field of IRCH was East AsiaHeaded by China and Indonesia. Large achievements are also marked in arab countriesEight of which are in the twenty leaders in the field of increasing IRCP over the past 40 years. At the same time, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and former Soviet Union Roll back due to the impact of AIDS, conflicts, economic turmoils and other factors. Over the past 40 years in the three countries of the former Soviet Union - Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation - and six countries of Africa to the south of Sahara - the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe -Inaded life expectancy has actually decreased.
The dominant trend in the field of life expectancy in the world is rapprochement (convergence), and medium duration life in most poor countries is becoming more closely with indicators developed countries. However, the income model (divergence) prevails in the field of income, and most of the rich countries are stably become richer, and steady growth bypass by many poor nations.
"In general, we see a significant advancement forward," the authors say, "however, the changes in recent decades were not everywhere positive. In some countries, serious regress was observed - especially in the field of health, which sometimes reduced several decades for several years. Economic growth was extremely uneven - both in countries with a rapid growth rate and in groups that have benefited from national progress. The gap in the levels of human development, though narrowed, still remains huge. " IRCHP 2010 and new indexes taking into account inequality, gender problems and poverty.
This year, the report includes new IRCP ratings for 2010 with changes in some key indicators. The top ten leaders of the 2010 IRCHP are found in Norway, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden and Germany. Last 10 Places of IRCP rating for 2010, 169 countries are distributed as follows: Mali, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Burundi, Niger, Democratic Republic Congo and Zimbabwe.
In the new issue of the report of changing the ranking of IrChp countries, they are recorded for a five-year comparative period, and not by year to better reflect long-term development trends. In connection with the methodological clarifications made in the IRCHP formula, the 2010 rating is not quite comparable to the ratings of previous years.
Continuing the tradition of introducing innovations into measurement methods, a report on the development of a person of 2010 introduces new indices related to key factors Development not related directly to the IRCH.
Index of human development, adjusted for inequality (IRRCHPN)
In the report of this year, the IRCP data for the first time discusses through the prism of inequality, which allows you to adjust the achievements in the field of HDI and reflect disproportions regarding income, health and education. "The HRCH is as such, being a consolidated value, which is based on the average national indicators, does not take into account the disproportions within countries. Thus, this adjustment with regard to inequality allows you to give a more complete picture of the well-being of people, "said Jeni Krugman.
Gender Inequality Index (IHN)
The report of 2010 introduces a new meter of gender inequality factors, including maternal mortality and representation of women in parliaments. "Gender inequality index is conceived as a meter negative impact On the development of a person in deep socio-economic disproportions between men and women, "said Jeni Krugman. Ignary measures the decline in national IRRs associated with gender inequality, from the Netherlands (the greatest equality in the IGN indicator) to Yemen (the smallest equality).
Multidimensional Poverty Index (IMB)
The report presents a new meter of multidimensional poverty, which complements estimates of poverty based on income, given the diverse factors at the household level, from the main indicators of the standard of living before accessing school education, clean water and health care. It is estimated that about 1.7 billion people - exactly a third of the population in 104 countries covered by IMB - live in multidimensional poverty. This is more than the number of people living in less than 1, 25 US dollars a day, which is estimated at 1.3 billion people.
The 2010 report calls for further research and improving the quality of statistical data to assess the challenges in other critical aspects of human development, such as expanding political rights and opportunities and environmental sustainability.
To promote continuous innovation On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the first issue of the report, the Department of Preparing the Development Report updated its website (http://hdr.undp.org), placing a large amount of new resources on it, corrected and augmented country statistical profiles of all states - UN member and interactive tools, including option for visitors "Create your index".
In the introduction to the new report, AMARTIA Saint writes: "20 years after the first report on the development of man, we have the right to be proud of many of the achieved. However, we should also maintain the ability to improve the methods of assessing old vices and respond to new hazards that threaten human freedoms and well-being. "
Key data on regions from a report on the development of man 2010
Long-term analysis of the IRCP and new indices in the 2010 report disclose significant achievements and challenges - as well as various development models - in each of the regions of the developing world
Arab states
Five Arab states - Oman (first place), Saudi Arabia (fifth place), Tunisia (seventh place), Algeria (ninth) and Morocco (tenth) are included in the top ten countries (out of 135 engaged in the study) in which they have been achieved The most significant increase in IRCHP since 1970. At the same time, according to the gender equality index (games) arab states Demonstrated on average in the region of 70% IRCP, which is significantly higher than the average decrease rate of 56%. Last place In the world ranking, IHO occupies Yemen, where the decline in the IRCH is 85%.
Latin America and Caribbean
Income inequality in the region Latin America And the Caribbean remains the highest in the world. The strongest gap is marked in Argentina, followed by Venezuela and Haiti. But in a number of countries, in particular, in Brazil and Chile, inequality is reduced. The life expectancy in the region since 1970 has increased from 60 to 74 years old, and in Chile, Costa Rica and Cuba reached 79 years. Coverage of the population school education It has increased from 52% 40 years ago to 83% today, and a number of countries have currently achieved almost complete coverage.
Africa south of Sahara
In recent decades, despite the conditions that in some cases were extremely unfavorable, many African countries often achieved progress, but he remained unnoticed. Ethiopia (11th place), Botswana (14th place), Benin (18th place) and Burkina Faso (25th place) are included in the first two and a half dozen leaders (out of 135 countries) on IRCP for the period Since 1970, largely due to achievements in the field of education and health care. At the same time, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe are the only countries in which the IRCHP is lower than in 1970, due to a murderous combination of conflicts and AIDS, which led to a decrease in the life expectancy. The representation of women in parliaments is higher here than in South Asia, Arab countries or Eastern Europe, but this achievement is neutralized by gender disproportions in the field of education.
South Asia Nepal (third place), India (16th place), Iran (20th place), Pakistan (25th place) and Bangladesh (26th place) - world leaders in the long-term increase in IRCP for the period from 1970 of the year. At the same time, the new multidimensional poverty index shows that in South Asia the greatest population suffering from extreme poverty: 844 million people; For comparison, in sub-Saharan Africa, the number of "multidimensional poor" is 458 million.
East Asia and Pacific
The extremely high rates of economic growth in the period from 1970 led to a record doubling of the average IRCP in the region from 0.36 in 1970 to 0.71 in 2010 and the nomination in the region of five leaders belonging to the top ten countries to increase the IRRC: China ( second place), indonesia (fourth place), Laos (sixth place) and South Korea (eighth place). However, income growth was accompanied by an increase in income rupture, which led in the region to more than a 20% reduction in IRCP adjusted with regard to inequality.
Eastern Europe and Central Asia
As noted in the report, Eastern Europe and central Asia Comparatively egalitarian on all three dimensions of the IRRC, adjusted with the inequality, although they are distinguished by a significant regional manifection.
The life expectancy in the three countries of the former Soviet Union - Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine fell below the 1970 levels, which led to the largest decrease in the IRCP in the region.
