STUDY DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS YOUTH IN YEMEN FES MENA Youth Study: Results Analysis Kamal Naif Tamim December 2022 The ongoing war in Yemen has exacerbated poverty and food insecurity. The results of this survey revealed the catas­trophic living standard of Ye­meni youth, whose spending patterns, ability to save money and daily lifestyle have tragi­cally collapsed. The assessment of the econo­mic situation of young people revealed a devaluation of the national currency since the be­ginning of the war, a lack of jobs and no discernible finan­cial contribution from other sources. Yemeni youth need to be empowered and funded to start their own businesses instead of being registered for one of the livelihood pro­grammes. During the pandemic, young people in Yemen were able to go on with life by adopting new lifestyles.
