On a humid night in Niamey, Niger, a fifteen-year-old boy named Hamid scrolls through a borrowed smartphone. The median age in his country is also fifteen , the youngest on earth.
Eight thousand kilometres east, in Patna, India, a nineteen-year-old girl named Priya finishes her shift at a call centre, earning just enough to keep her younger brothers in school. They have never met. They share no language, no faith, no culture. But they share a century.
By 2050, Africa and South Asia will be home to nearly half the world’s children and young adults, a demographic bulge so vast it will either power the global economy or set it ablaze. Hamid is one of 40 per cent of sub-Saharan Africans under fifteen. Priya is one of 25 per cent of South Asians in the same cohort. Together, their generation will enter a job market that currently creates only 25 million formal roles each year against a billion new workers expected by mid-century. The maths does not forgive.
The geopolitics of the African and South Asian youth
Geopolitics is the study of how geography, resources and power shape global politics. It analyzes how location, climate, population, and access to trade routes influence a nation’s foreign policy and strategic decisions.
