| description |
Papua New Guinea (PNG) became
independent in 1976 as a constitutional parliamentary
democracy. The country has four regions (Highlands, Islands,
Momase and Southern) and 21 provinces including the
autonomous region of Bougainville and two new provinces
recently created in the southern and western parts of the
highlands region. Another province-level division is the
National Capital District, which comprises the capital city,
Port Moresby. Each province is divided into electorates that
vote for members of parliament as well as for a provincial
member of parliament, who serves as the governor of the
province. The country has a population of just over seven
million, with an estimated population growth rate of 2.8
percent. Nearly half of PNG's population is under the
age of 20 and the number of young people is expected to
double in the next 20 years. Youth unemployment is high and
rising, with only one in ten school graduates finding jobs
in the private sector. With many young people leaving their
villages in search of jobs in the towns and cities, there is
a shortage of employment opportunities, which has
contributed to the expansion of (mainly male) urban youth
gangs, exacerbating problems of law and order. |
