The future of São Tomé and PrÃncipe
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, last month the government, along with the United Nations Development Programme, opened the country’s first business incubator; we get the details from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Tamasin Ford. Plus we hear from some young entrepreneurs hoping to make their mark in the world of business. (Picture of Sao Tomé city via Getty Images).
