Delegates’ Declaration Y7 Summit Japan
Tokyo, Japan
30 April – 3 May 2016
Y7 delegates & Cameroon, Norway and Turkey observers
Preamble
We, the representatives of the next generation, call the leaders of the G7 states to action. The
world’s developed nations must lead by example to deliver prosperity and social justice
underpinned by the principles of equality and innovation. Our expectations are high, but we are
confident they are realistic, having rooted our recommendations in research and real-world
examples. As the legitimate youth platform to the G7, we are united by our profound belief that
we can make a positive contribution to international decision making. Beyond the words
included in this communiqué, we recognise that we are part of the solution and commit to
embodying the core values driving our recommendations - as active citizens and future leaders.
We demand action on:
1. International Security
Recognising that terrorism has been a major driver of global insecurity for youth in the twenty-
first century and emphasising that refugees have been major victims of the resulting instability,
the Y7 urges governments to address and actively counter the root causes of radicalisation and
terrorism, and to develop sustainable policies on the protection and integration of refugees.
2. Labour and Economy
The Y7 is aware of the significant opportunities presented by technological change. We
underscore the importance of proactive policies to mitigate associated risks and fully harvest
these benefits for society. Moreover, in light of the challenges associated with demographic
shifts, we encourage measures that recognise and leverage the opportunities presented by an
aging society.
3. Sustainable Development
2016 is a milestone year for international sustainable development. G7 countries must take
action to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Goals (SDGs). We, the
youth of the G7 countries, are committed to shaping our future in the fields of Gender Equality,
Education and Social Entrepreneurship.
In addition, we urge leaders to ratify and follow through on the commitments of the Paris
Agreement of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21).
3. 3
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
Terrorism
We urge G7 countries to address the following youth-oriented priorities as part of the G7
Terrorism Action Plan to be adopted at the Ise-Shima Summit in May and to:
1. Establish a multilateral research consortium, in recognition of the gap in primary data and
empirical research, to develop a common database of research and analysis. This should
comprise academics, policy makers, and practitioners, as well as former radicals, and
include assessments of past and existing counter-radicalisation and counter-terrorism
policies, in order to identify and develop more effective, evidence-based policy.
2. Develop long-term, sustainable measures to address the underlying drivers of terrorism, by
fostering stability and good governance in weak and failing states in Africa, the Middle East
and beyond, and investing in the socio-economic development of the population at large.
3. Acknowledge the social dimensions of radicalisation and address them by empowering
grassroots and community level actors to engage in innovative methods of preventive and
early-intervention counter-radicalisation, including:
a. Establishing independent community centers in which radicalised individuals and their
families may confidentially receive psychosocial and rehabilitative intervention to
prevent escalation to violence and illegal activity;
b. Developing training programs in radicalisation identification and intervention to be
included as part of the training of professionals involved in the mentorship and
development of youth, such as school staff and religious and community leaders.
4. Increase efforts to counter extremist narratives, by recognising that youth are particularly
vulnerable to radicalisation through terrorist groups' advanced use of online platforms to
spread propaganda and recruit foreign fighters, and engaging with youth-focused or driven
civil society groups and online communities, domestically and internationally, by:
a. Engaging religious and community leaders, as well as formerly radicalised individuals,
to formulate and disseminate effective terrorism counter-narratives and raise awareness
about the reality of joining terrorist organisations;
b. Providing publicly-funded educational programs that improve Internet literacy in order
to prevent online radicalisation;
c. Strengthening legislation to investigate and prosecute practices of proselytisation by
terrorist actors and advocates.
The Protection and Integration of Refugees
We urge G7 countries to:
5. Enhance support for the provision of basic goods and services in states neighbouring conflict
zones to mitigate social and economic destabilisation in these host countries (e.g., through
increased financial assistance to the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees and
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).
6. Recognise our international commitment to human rights, in particular the rights of migrants
in need of protection, and our condemnation of attempts to politicise the rights of civilians to
protection and humanitarian aid, by:
a. Developing targeted measures to address the specific needs of vulnerable groups such as
women and unaccompanied children;
b. Ensuring that refugees fleeing conflict zones are able to reach safety swiftly, legally and
securely, by providing humanitarian visas or similar means of access;
c. Counteracting human trafficking through both local and international interventions that
focus on breaking up trafficking networks and raising awareness of regular migration
channels.
4. 4
7. Commit to an internationally coordinated refugee resettlement agreement, in recognition of
the significant shortage of resettlement places currently offered, based on the principle that
hosting refugees is a global “public good” that should be jointly provided by the
international community, by:
a. Developing an international framework for when and how to intervene on behalf of
displaced populations to avoid delayed response in the future;
b. Proactively registering families as refugees in, or close to, their home country to
disincentivise the dangerous journey to distant shores by sea.
8. Facilitate and promote the integration of refugees in host communities while respecting their
cultural identities by:
a. Galvanising positive rhetoric such that refugees may be perceived as enhancing social
capital rather than undermining national security. This should include transparent public
service campaigns and curricula about the proven economic and social value of
refugees;
b. Providing language classes and access to education without delay, recognising that
language training upon arrival is fundamental for effective integration;
c. Adjusting certification processes for foreign skilled workers in order to afford refugees
economic opportunities to live on their own means. This should include formalising a
process to equip young refugees with the skills that will allow them to contribute to
regional economies;
d. Providing refugees with social services at the local level, including access to
psychological support and cultural mediators. This should include the establishment of a
buddy program matching young refugees with young people of the host country;
e. Monitoring the allocation of funds provided to local organisations through regular
operational reports to help avoid and identify mismanagement of money.
9. Pool resources and experiences to provide insights to countries that have not yet undertaken
refugee resettlement.
LABOUR AND ECONOMY
Technological Change
We recommend that G7 countries:
10. Take steps to assess and address the risks and opportunities of new technology, in particular
artificial intelligence (AI), by:
a. Establishing a working group committed to open dialogue on AI issues including the
publication of biannual ‘AI Reviews’ to explore recent developments and impacts;
b. Creating an international research agency to promote open source AI;
c. Collaborating with key stakeholders, including industry, to produce ethical, privacy and
security principles for developers of artificial intelligence;
d. Adopting provisions, where necessary, to meaningfully enforce prohibitions on digital
industrial espionage and malicious attacks.
11. Adequately prepare individuals for the impact of technology on the labour market by:
a. Reviewing school curricula requirements, examination processes (e.g., testing critical
thinking) and teaching methods (e.g., project-based classes and peer assessment) to
ensure they are fit for purpose;
b. Allocating state funding to develop training for the unemployed and/or under-skilled,
working with the private sector and communities;
c. Encouraging the use and development of digital tools such as ‘e-learning’ as a means of
re-skilling unemployed or underemployed workers;
d. Integrating creativity development and sociological and ethical training into technical
education and curricula.
5. 5
12. Encourage policy makers and employers to reflect the changing labour market by:
a. Promoting alternative work arrangements (e.g., remote working, shared services,
supplementary work activities), while reinforcing work/life balance, worker well-being
(e.g., the right to ‘disconnect’) and disability accommodation;
b. Conducting research and/or experiments to assess the merits of a basic income/living
wage;
c. Actively incorporating youth into decision making processes across all sectors;
d. Investing in the sharing economy and promoting entrepreneurial and digital skills
development to preserve human capital and create employment opportunities.
13. Cooperate with least developed countries to enable the use of technology as they invest in
improving relevant networks and infrastructure (e.g., smart telecommunications in health
care).
Aging Society
We recommend that G7 countries:
14. Reduce economic inequality by ensuring the sustainable financing of existing welfare
systems (e.g., social security and health care) through fair and proportional taxation.
15. Develop a national gradual retirement plan, by offering flexible working hours and adapted
compensations (e.g., job sharing with a young professional).
16. Enhance intergenerational links and solidarity through promoting intergenerational sport,
culture, non-profit, education and joint volunteering opportunities, especially at the local
community level.
17. Accelerate technological development to reduce elderly welfare costs, while increasing the
quality of life and autonomy of the elderly and enabling more human interaction by:
a. Establishing financing mechanisms, such as innovation funds, social impact bonds or
business competitions;
b. Encouraging investors (e.g., through tax and credit incentives) to contribute to social and
technological projects, products and services that improve elderly welfare, mobility (e.g.,
transport network companies, reduced fares), housing and healthcare;
c. Promoting the creation of digital tools and applications to solve human intelligence tasks,
while increasing physical and cognitive activity (e.g., using crowdsourcing and
gamification), and promoting digital literacy in the elderly.
18. Invest in public health promotion to help increase the Healthy Life Expectancy of the elderly
by educating on good nutrition standards and empowering the elderly to manage their health
condition through increasing awareness of and accessibility to Therapeutic Patient Education.
19. Connect youth and elderly through job creation by:
a. Promoting succession planning and access to capital to facilitate the transfer of existing
businesses to youth and encouraging transitional job shadowing;
b. Identifying and promoting new market needs emerging from our aging societies (e.g.,
home care services, nursing and funeral services) and equipping those entering the
labour market with the skills to serve these needs;
c. Finding balanced approaches to increase labour market participation across age cohorts
recognizing the unique demographic and economic circumstances of each member
country.
20. Recognise that social and labour market integration of migrants contributes to an efficient
welfare system and provides an opportunity to strengthen reliable and affordable elderly care.
6. 6
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Gender Equality
We urge G7 countries to:
21. Recognise that, with regard to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, women and girls
carry the burden of the vast majority of unpaid labour that is unrecognised in national GDPs
and economies, by:
a. Introducing policies to strongly incentivise all parents to take an equal share of parental
leave, and ensure access to universal low-cost or free child-care;
b. Encouraging reintegration programs and anti-discriminatory policies across all sectors
for parents or caregivers who have been out of paid work;
c. Incentivising gender-based policy and analysis, (e.g., recognition of the disproportionate
adverse effects of climate change on women; significant rate of male suicide);
d. Exploring and developing new metrics to evaluate unpaid labour in society in order to
assign value to work undertaken by women and girls.
22. Tackle the root causes of gender inequality and inequity throughout school life, by:
a. Promoting inclusive and accessible education for all youth, regardless of gender or sex,
founded upon connecting individuals through active citizenship;
b. Developing curricula designed with consideration to intersectional identities and
minority groups, thus deconstructing harmful gender stereotypes and stigma;
c. Training teachers to both embody and teach diversity competence by sharing best
practices, through mechanisms such as a G7 gender equality and equity-working group.
23. Reaffirm that women’s rights are human rights. Understanding that whilst men are also
victims, the most frequent victims of gender based violence in G7 countries are young
women; such violence is especially prevalent on postsecondary campuses and in the home.
We suggest:
a. Harnessing the power of open data platforms to incentivise citizen led accountability
platforms. For example, the data from real time reporting of gender violence instances to
relevant authorities at the local community level and national level could then be used to
inform future policies of recourse to combat gender based violence;
b. Creating multi-stakeholder funded centres, with wide-ranging access to include rural
communities, dedicated to covering a broad range of health and education services. This
should include mental health support, consent-based sexual education, destigmatisation,
family planning and sexual health focused on victims of violence, and legal advice;
c. Promoting curricula containing elements on sexual health, mutual respect, youth mental
health, and healthy and consent-based relationships, e.g., mandatory standardised testing
of this knowledge before postsecondary graduation.
24. Recognise and raise public awareness regarding the special vulnerability of women to
climate change impacts. This could include the development and dissemination of global
environmental resilience training courses for women, such as emergency response to
environmental catastrophes.
Education
We recommend that G7 countries:
25. Take immediate action to reach the goal of SDG 4 - inclusive and equitable quality
education - and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030. G7 countries
should recognise that high levels of student and youth debt stifles innovation, influencing
and limiting the career path of young people by:
a. Aiming to adopt income-based sliding scale tuition fees at all post-secondary institutions
to improve access to and equality in higher education. Implement loan payment schemes,
which are scaled to each person’s income level;
7. 7
b. Exploring tools for innovation in managing finance and debt issues related to
postsecondary education, such as research experiments into basic income/living wage;
c. Recognising and raising public awareness about the home-learning environment as an
integral part to a child’s development, possible policies include incentivising parenting
classes and after school programs.
26. Adopt curricula, with equitable access in both rural and urban areas, regarding:
a. Prioritising practical life skills including health and mental wellness and personal
finances;
b. Opportunities for transferable skills that will prepare individuals for meaningful access
to job markets (e.g. paid work, internship, co-op, apprenticeships);
c. Critical civic education developing identity and community to result in a sense of
belonging.
Social Entrepreneurship
We urge G7 countries to:
27. Build risk tolerant ecosystems that are necessary for social entrepreneurship to thrive, by:
a. Adopting new technologies to streamline and simplify the regulatory framework to
foster new enterprise creation by taking concrete steps to reduce bureaucracy
surrounding online business operations;
b. Providing significant tax breaks, dynamic advisory services and/or student debt-relief to
young social entrepreneurs;
c. Incentivising investment in social enterprises through innovative financial tools such as
partial investment recovery for individuals, with specific attention to underdeveloped
areas affected by youth unemployment;
d. Promoting social enterprises that leverage collective intelligence, which include digital
platforms and technological hubs that facilitate participative democracy, and active
citizenship;
e. Improving access to capital and markets for young social entrepreneurs;
f. Offering accessible innovative financing programs to the young social entrepreneurs of
the G7 countries with a strong emphasis of private sector involvement (e.g., social
impact bonds as a starting point).
28. Rethink school curricula to include social entrepreneurship as a tangible career path for
youth by:
a. Including social entrepreneurship related subjects in all school programs.
b. Offering youth practical engagement in social entrepreneurship during their secondary
and postsecondary;
c. Offering incentives for schools to engage with their local communities, particularly with
local businesses;
d. Targeted scholarships for youth social entrepreneurs.
