This article examines the socio-demographic trends that influence youth dynamics across various countries, focusing on critical areas such as education, employment, migration, technology use, and mental health. Through a comparative analysis of developed and developing nations, the study identifies disparities and common challenges faced by young people worldwide. The findings reveal that developed countries emphasize mental health and smooth education-to-employment transitions, while developing nations prioritize access to education, job creation, and digital inclusion. Youth migration presents both opportunities and challenges, necessitating policies that address brain drain and migrant integration. Additionally, the rise of digital technology offers new avenues for youth participation but introduces risks related to mental well-being and digital inequality. The article concludes with policy recommendations aimed at promoting youth empowerment and fostering sustainable national development.
