    "content": "The 35th Session of the African, Caribbean, Pacific and European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly and the 50th Plenary Session of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Parliamentary Assembly deliberated on various matters of concern to the member states and exercised scrutiny over the European Commission and the ACP-EU councils through questions and answers. Some of the major areas of deliberation during that session were on demographic growth, challenges and opportunities, the global impact on emigration and fighting xenophobia, racism and discrimination. Let me pick on the first, namely, the demographic growth. What we are experiencing today and what Members of Parliament from different regions have realised is that the fastest growing region in the world still remains Africa while there is a decline in demographics in Europe. We see potentially one of the reasons of the North South movement is because 70 to 80 per cent of Africa is the youth looking for opportunities, prosperity and they see that opening in Europe which is looking for skilled manpower of young able-bodied people."
