About
Young people in search of a sense of belonging, purpose, and/or identity may be more vulnerable to violent extremism and terrorist radicalization. The lack of employment opportunities for youth, particularly in urban cities around the world, is among the greatest security and development challenges today and has resulted in the underemployment, inequality, and marginalization of youth. To intervene and prevent extremism, remind a teen at age for 14 to apply for a work permit, aggregate information, identify possible employers, and generate a PDF to collect signatures.
