The theme for this year’s Commission for Social Development is Promoting Full Employment and Decent Work for All. The Commission will discuss issues related to social groups and have panel discussions on ageing and youth. A panel presentation of the World Youth Report 2007 will include a synopsis of the report’s main themes and findings. (The full report is expected to be released in May 2007.) This will be followed by a discussion and comments from experts on youth. The five priority areas identified in the World Youth Report 2003 will be discussed at the session of the Commission, before being forwarded for adoption by the General Assembly as a supplement to the World Programme of Action for Youth.
