- Description
- Unemployment is an urgent socio- economic issue facing not just Sub-Saharan Africa but also the global world at large (Yu, 2013). Globally, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that 201 million people were unemployed in 2014. Almost 74 million of those unemployed were young people (aged 15-24) in 2014. The ILO report further states that the number of people seeking employment was over 30 million more than in 2008, because several people lost their jobs due to the world economic recession. One of the results recorded from the ILO’s World Employment and Social Outlook 2016, show that youth unemployment is still three times that of the adult unemployment rate at 13.1% (ILO, 2016). Unemployed youths are estimated to be 73.3 million, a 3.3% decline from the global crisis in 2008 (ILO,2016:6). Crisp and Powell, (2016) indicate youth are vulnerable due to the economic fragility of the labour market and uneven recovery over the past years.
