Youth 3D: Youth in China

The CSIS/IYF Youth, Prosperity, and Security Initiative, together with the CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies, cordially invite you to join us for our inaugural Youth 3D (Demographics, Dynamics, and Development) event series, which will examine the impact of the world's largest generation of young people on politics, economics, social development, and security worldwide. This panel discussion will cover characteristics of China’s youth and some of the issues and dynamics that they face, including the demographics and defining features of China's youth, the major values and beliefs of China's urban and rural youth populations, the challenges and issues created by the sex-ratio imbalance, and how the demographics of China's youth are interacting with the many facets of China's development.

The interactive discussion will be followed by light refreshments.
