The Middle East is experiencing the world's most prominent youth bulge. Yet many MENA economies' institutional designs, both formal and informal, favor the power of business elites, systematically discriminating against young people joining the workforce or opening businesses, and thus limiting their ability to contribute to innovation. Dania Thafer examines the issue of large youth populations and analyzes opportunities for Gulf states to reap their "demographic dividend.”

Latino Attitudes Toward American Muslims and Islam

ISPU

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh
Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) is publishing new research on Latino views of American Muslims and Islam. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just under 20% of Americans are Latino, a sizable proportion of the American public. Demographic data from ISPU’s American Muslim Poll finds that 9% of Muslims in the United States are Latino. To better understand the reasons behind the lower levels of Islamophobia, ISPU partnered with IslamInSpanish to explore Latinos’ attitudes about American Muslims and Islam.
