Currently, it is estimated that there are 1.1 billion young people aged 15–24 in the developing world, accounting for nearly one-fifth (18.6 percent) of the total population. During this time of life, young people experience enormous changes due to physical maturation, which is accompanied by cognitive, social/emotional, and interpersonal changes. It is a period when the influence of par­ents and families gradually diminishes and the influence of external factors, such as peers; the media; the educational environment; and, more generally, the eco­nomic, social, and cultural environments in which they live, are increasingly prominent.
