STORYLINE
The United Nations defines the youth as the individuals in the age group (15-24 years) with the possibility of adjusting this category according to the specificity and need of each country. In this press release, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) considered the youth in Palestine as the individuals in the age group (18-29 years).
The percentage of youth (18-29 years) in Palestine was about 22% (1.16 million) of the total population in mid - 2021 (22.3% in the West Bank and 21.8% in Gaza Strip). Whilst the sex ratio was 105 males per 100 females.
The illiteracy rate among the youth (18-29 years) in Palestine for 2020 decreased to about 0.8% (0.9% in the West Bank and 0.7% in Gaza Strip), while it was 1.1% in 2007 (1.1% in the West Bank and 1.2% in Gaza Strip).
The number of the employed youth in the informal sector reached 139,300 employees, of whom 130,600 were males compared to 8,700 females. The percentage of the employed youth in this sector represents 47% of the total employed youth in Palestine. Knowingly, the percentage of the employed youth in the informal employment in Palestine (meaning the employed youth in the informal sector in addition to wage employees who do not obtain any labour rights including end-of-service / retirement or annual paid leave or paid sick leave) has reached 75% of the total employed youth; of whom 79% are males and 43% are females (73% in the West Bank and 84% in Gaza Strip).
