Youth to discuss economic growth

ISLAMABAD: The Centre for Poverty Reduction and Social Policy Development of the Planning Commission will organise a Youth Idea Challenge to hear the voice of youth about economic growth via a video competition, according to a press release.

The competition invites all academic institutions from across the country to participate and express their ideas.

Documentaries are expected to reflect the vision of youth on ways of distributing benefits of economic growth to the marginalised and vulnerable sections of the society.

The economic framework has four pillars including productivity and innovation, governance and competitive markets, cities as engines of growth and youth and communities.

Best entries will be displayed at the Centre for Poverty Reduction and Social Policy Development’s website.
