Adolescence is a critical age group as this is a period to develop specific expertise and hone individual skills to enter the mainstream workforce and contribute to economic productivity. It is also a period when major changes in health and health-related behaviors like smoking and drug abuse, unsafe sexual practices, poor eating, and lack of exercise occur, which may substantially impact health outcomes in later life. Due to the success of child survival initiatives over the last few decades, there has been a dramatic rise in the population of adolescents especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A quarter of the world's population in 2012 (1.8 billion) comprised adolescents and young adults (10–24 years); of these, 90% lived in LMICs. It is expected that the proportion of the world's young population, particularly in Africa, will rise from 18% in 2012 to twenty-eight in 2040 while the proportion altogether other regions of the world will eventually decline.
