The future of São Tomé and Príncipe

More than 50% of the country's population is under 25 years old

According to the World Bank, 42% of the world’s population is under 25 and in São Tomé that figure is above 50%. The hope is that these young people will be the future of the country - and its economy but many are leaving for opportunities elsewhere as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Russell Newlove finds out.

Plus we hear from some young entrepreneurs hoping to make their mark in the world of business.
