Published in : 2005 Available in : English This issue of SCN News features articles addressing a population that receives little attention: adolescents. UNFPA’s State of World Population (2005) estimates that there are 1.2 billion adolescents between 10-19 years of age today. Although not specifically mentioned in the Millennium Development Goals, adolescents are the future adults who will continue the human development achievements set for 2015. Therefore, this stage in the life cycle is critical to ensuring good nutrition in adulthood and continued proper nutrition in future generations.
