"""The report is essential reading for policy makers, government workers, and academics pursuing the goal of equitable, sustainable development across the world."" - N. R. Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor Infosys Technologies Ltd. Information and communication technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving, changing rich and poor societies alike. It has become a powerful tool for participating in the global economy and for offering new opportunities for development efforts. ICT can and should advance economic growth and reduce poverty in developing countries. It has been 20 years since the first telephone operator was privatized, a little over 10 since the World Wide Web emerged, and 5 since the telecommunications bubble burst. How have the ICT sector and its role in development evolved? What have we learned? How can we move forward? Information and Communications for Development 2006: Global Trends and Policies contains lessons from both developed and developing countries. It examines the roles of the public and private sectors, identifying the challenges and the benefits of adopting and expanding ICT use. The report assesses topics essential to building an information society, including investment, access, diffusion, and country policies and strategies. Assessing what has worked, what hasn't, and why, this report is an invaluable guide for understanding how to capture the benefits of ICT around the world."

Developing countries which invest in better education, healthcare and job training for their young people between the ages of 12 and 24 years of age, could produce economic growth and sharply reduced poverty. With 1.3 billion young people now living in the developing world - the largest-ever youth group in history - the report says there has never been a better time to invest in youth because they are healthier and better educated than previous generations and they will join the workforce with fewer dependents because of changing demographics. The report says that young people make up nearly half of the ranks of the world's unemployed and as, for example, in the Middle East and North Africa region must create 100 million jobs by 2020 in order to stabilize its employment situation. Moreover, surveys of young people in East Asia and Eastern Europe and Central Asia - carried out as research for the report - indicate that access to jobs, along with physical security, is their biggest concern. Far too many young people, some 130 million 15-24 year olds, cannot read or write. Secondary education and skill acquisition make sense only if primary schooling has been successful. This is still far from being the case and efforts have to be reinforced in this area. In addition, more than 20 percent of firms in countries such as Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Estonia and Zambia, rate poor education and work skills among their workforce. Overcoming this handicap starts with more and better investments in youth. The report highlights three areas to promote better investment in the future: expanding opportunities; enhancing capabilities and providing second chances. Expanding opportunities focuses on increasing the quality of education, smoothing the transition to work and providing young people with a platform for civic engagement. Enhancing capabilities involves making young people aware of the consequencesof their actions, especially consequences that will affect them much later in life as well as building their decision-making skills and giving them the right incentives. Providing second chances calls for helping young people recover from missed opportunities through remedial education, retraining treatment and rehabilitation.
