Brazil and Turkey are the latest countries to see protests featuring large numbers of young people. How can developing economies harness the power of youth? Of the 1.2 billion people globally aged between 15 and 24, around 1 billion live in developing countries. So how do you turn a big young population into an economic opportunity? Manuela Saragosa and guests: Ganesh Natarajan, Vice Chairman and CEO of Zensar Technologies; Andrew Devenport, CEO of Youth Business International - a charity that promotes entrepreneurialism among young people and Paras Fatnani, One Young World ambassador for India, discuss how business can benefit from a young workforce. And resident comedian, Colm O'Regan, asks what it takes to move up in the world.
