The future of São Tomé and PrÃncipe
More than 50% of the country's population is under 25 years old
According to the World Bank, 42% of the world’s population is under 25 and in São Tomé that figure is above 50%. The hope is that these young people will be the future of the country - and its economy but many are leaving for opportunities elsewhere as the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's Russell Newlove finds out. Plus, last month the government, along with the United Nations Development Programme, opened the country’s first business incubator - we get the details from the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's Tamasin Ford. Plus we hear from some young entrepreneurs hoping to make their mark in the world of business. (Picture of Sao Tomé city via Getty Images).
