Officially the United Nations defines Youth as those between the ages of 15 and 24. However in reality, the Ministry of Youth provides service to individuals younger than 15 and over 35 as social and cultural perceptions dictate the status of youth in Fiji. In many cases young adults up to the age of 35 actively participate in youth programmes. Therefore, Youths are defined as those, both Males and Females, between the ages of 15 to 35 years.
