What Young People Want is a Chatbot that aims to engage young people by capturing their nuanced perspectives, priorities, concerns, and ambitions. Through our dashboard, and by searching key topics, sub-categories, demographic factors, and geographies, you can explore young people’s responses thus far so that they might inform policy and financial commitment mobilization.
