With the global youth population reaching a historical high of 1.5 billion, economies worldwide are increasingly unable to provide young people with jobs. The situation has reached critical proportions in developing countries where 1.3 billion youth reside. With this backdrop, Making Cents International convened practitioners, donors, educators, youth, members of the private sector, representatives of governments, and other partners in youth enterprise, entrepreneurship, and livelihood development for the Global Youth Enterprise Conference.

The 2008 conference themes were:
* Market-Driven Approaches
* Effective Methodologies and Practices for Monitoring, Evaluating, and Conducting Impact Assessments
