African Youth On November 1st, we celebrate African Youth Day. More than 60% of Africa's population is under the age of 25, making Africa the youngest continent in the world in terms of demographic structure. This day was established in 2006, alongside the African Youth Charter, which is the continent's main legal instrument dedicated to the promotion, protection and development of the rights and responsibilities of young people aged 15 to 35. RT in French dare to ask.
