2 Worldwide, the number of young people (12-24) is expected to increase from 1.3 billion to 1.5 billion in 2035 and gradually decline after that. Countries such as India will reach this peak in the next 20 years. (IMF, Finance and Development 2006 volume 43). The total population of girls aged 10-14, already the largest in history, is expected to peak in the next decade (Girls Count: a Global Investment and Action Agenda, Ruth Levine et al, Washington DC Centre for Global Development, 2008)
