Question
Lester Brown describes Sudan as a classic case of a country stuck in the second stage of the demographic transition model due to a growing number of these people. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this general class of people that, in many Arab countries, is represented by a “bulge” near the base of the population pyramid.
ANSWER: youth [accept descriptive answers indicating young people like children or teenagers or adolescents; accept youth bulge; accept baby boom]
[10m] Due to its youth bulge, this country has one of the world’s worst youth unemployment rates, worsened by recent influxes of refugees in Mafraq, ’Irbid, and Zarqā’. Workplace readiness training in this country has been promoted by INJAZ al-Arab and Queen Rania.
ANSWER: Jordan [or Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan or al-Mamlaka l-’Urdunniyya l-Hāshimiyya] (84% of refugee youth in Jordan are unemployed, and 32% overall, per UNICEF; the CIA puts this figure above 40%.)
[10h] If the youth of the Middle East can be productively employed, demographers believe that the region may become the next “Asian Tiger” due to this phenomenon. This term refers to any economic growth caused by a change in a population’s age structure.
ANSWER: demographic dividend
