Youth Unemployment in Africa Hits 45% | Afrobarometer Report Insights

A new Afrobarometer study, From Aspiration to Action: Barriers to Youth Empowerment in Africa, reveals that young people aged 18 to 25 face the continent’s most severe employment challenges. The study finds that about 45% of young Africans surveyed are unemployed and actively seeking work. Key barriers include inadequate training and a lack of required experience, limiting youth participation in the labor market. Respondents emphasise that governments should prioritise job creation, improve education systems, and expand access to business loans to support youth empowerment. To unpack the findings and discuss solutions, Africa In Business is joined by Komi Amewunou, editor at Afrobarometer and one of the report’s authors. Insightful analysis on youth employment, skills development, and Africa’s economic future.
