Africa's economic growth has not created enough jobs for youth experts say
Experts meeting at the Kigali African Economic Conference called on African policy makers to improve productivity and youth job creation to respond to the high unemployment rate amongst Africa’s almost 200 million people aged between 15 and 24 who are either unemployed, underemployed or in informal jobs with low productivity. “African young people are a unique untapped potential”, said Rodgers Mukwaya, an Economic Affairs officer with Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the just concluded African Economic Conference. “Africa’s economic growth of the last decade has created many jobs but not enough for young labor market entrants. African policy makers should address this matter for a more sustainable and inclusive growth,” said Mukwaya.
