What's The Role Of Youth In Nation Building?

My knowledge is mostly limited to US history, but in the US youth made an important contribution to the economy up until the Child Labor Act of 1916 was passed.  Up until that time children could perform almost any job that an adult could and did so for minimal wages.  Having nearly every able-bodied person working is akin to a "total mobilization" in the military sense - it produces the absolute maximum output and allows for maximum growth of the economy.

Modern weapons have given youth a new and ominous role in nation building, that of being a soldier.  In previous times youth didn't possess the physical strength to be effective soldiers - swords and spears are only as effective as their wielders are strong.  The Kalashnikov type 47 rifle, Uzi machine-pistol, and US M-16 rifle are all sufficiently light weight as to allow a 10 year old girl to fight effectively on the modern battlefield.

As per me youth plays a very pivotal role in the building up of the nation.The entire success of the nation depends on the youth over there. In general it has been seen that in countries where the youth are more agile and pays their proper contribution towards their nation( in the form of getting complete and proper knowledge in all areas) they are more developed.
But its also the responsibility of the government to provide the youth proper facilities for getting equipped with the knowledges of modern era.

Youths are the farmer and their minds are meadow where they can sow the seeds of knowledge. But at present can't they be job creator rather than a job creator????

Its the backbone of the progress of the Nation. The young s people are the mason of the Nation.
