Nearly 24 million young Arabs could be unemployed, with an additional 75 million "in dire need of an economic future", according to a report by experts from the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The report "Addressing the 100 million Youth Challenge" was published yesterday at the WEF's meeting on the Middle East, North Africa and Eurasia in Istanbul, Turkey.
It is one of the gloomiest assessments so far of the prospects for employment in the region since the Arab Spring upheavals last year, which were largely sparked by poor economic prospects among young people.
