Youth Development
Connecting the private, public and development sectors
Youth Employment is a major challenge in Africa
There are more youth joining the labor market yet there aren’t enough jobs available for them, in both the formal and informal sectors.
The informal sector accounts for a higher portion of jobs in Africa with new enterprises providing majority of the jobs that are generated.
Two-thirds of the enterprises fail within the 1st year
However, over 2 thirds of the enterprises fail within the 1st year, leading to job losses due to:
- Inadequate management skills
- Lack of certified technical skills
- The machinery required in the informal sector is unaffordable
- Insufficient start-up capital
- Limited working capital
