Although adolescents are the largest section of society in many countries, the influence they have is often limited.
In some countries, parents govern their children's lives well into adulthood. Only one in 25 Bangladeshis decides who they will marry, while almost half of Tajiks do not choose their own job.
In many wealthy nations young people are living at home for longer because of financial pressures.
In most countries young people have to wait until 18 to vote. Iran's voting age is lowest, at 15.
