youth as those ages 15-30.

“United Nations recognizes the

young people are a major human
resource for development and
key agents for social change,
economic growth and
technological innovation.”
 10

Youth accounts for

less than a third of the
household population.
Youth or persons whose age ranges from
15 to 30 years totaled to 31.40 million
or about 28.9 percent of the household
population in 2020, higher than the
29.39 million (29.2%) recorded in 2015.
In the Philippines, individuals belonging
to this age group are considered of
voting age for the Sangguniang
Kabataan in accordance with Republic
