More than 1.4 billion people currently live in areas affected by protracted conflicts and complex emergencies, which often extend over many years and significantly erode development gains. Under these circumstances, young people may be out of school or college and engage in jobs that are informal, unstable, underpaid, or even high-risk and harmful. 

Más de 1.400 millones de personas viven actualmente en zonas afectadas por conflictos prolongados y emergencias complejas, que a menudo se extienden a lo largo de muchos años y erosionan significativamente los logros del desarrollo.
