Global Shapers Impact Report Summary (January 2025)

The report highlights young people (aged 18-30) as essential changemakers tackling global challenges through innovation and leadership. Below are the key findings:

1. Global Outlook for Young People

Key Trends:

• Economic Outlook: Youth unemployment remains high, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. Young women are disproportionately NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).
• Educational Outlook: Skills gap persists despite rising educational attainment. Qualifications often mismatch job market demands.
• Social Outlook: Anxiety driven by job instability (especially in Africa) and climate change. Economic instability affects 73% of US Gen Z.
• Political Outlook: Young people are underrepresented in politics (only 2.8% of parliamentarians are under 30). Disillusionment with corrupt/political systems is widespread.
• Technological Outlook: 87% express concern about AI risks (misinformation, cybersecurity). Yet, frequent AI users seek training to leverage its potential.

2. Framework for Young Changemakers

• Strategies and Tactics:
  • Awareness-Raising: Most common strategy (91.63% of projects).
  • Direct Action: 87.66% of projects involve direct action.
  • Influencing Power: 26.78% of projects aimed to influence power structures.
  • Driving Systems Change: 13.18% focused on systemic reforms.

  • Climate change/nature loss (22.24%).
  • Armed conflict/involuntary migration (16.66%).

2. Engage the community: Use inclusive design teams to co-create impactful solutions.
3. Measure impact: Define clear metrics to track reach and results.
4. Build alliances: Network with NGOs, businesses, and governments for collaborative impact.
5. Seek feedback and adapt: Learn from setbacks and continuously refine strategies.

5. Call to Action

• Organizations, governments, and businesses are urged to:
  • Engage young people on issues they care about.
  • Prioritize funding for youth-led initiatives.
  • Incorporate young voices into decision-making.
  • Provide tools for advocacy and systems change.

6. Concluding Thoughts

Young changemakers are driving transformative progress through grassroots initiatives, yet face systemic barriers. Their participation is critical for achieving equitable and sustainable futures. Collaboration across sectors is needed to amplify their impact.

Natalie Pierce (Head of Global Shapers Community) and Klaus Schwab emphasize the urgent need to empower young leaders to shape a better world.
