The State of Global Youth Employment

In a recent article by the World Economic Forum ("5 Charts that Show the State of Global Youth Employment in 2024," August 29, 2024), the problems facing young people in developing nations were laid bare.

As cited by the World Economic Forum's recent piece, the International Labour Organization’s Global Employment Trends for Youth 2024 report revealed that 65 million young people remain unemployed worldwide.

With educational mismatches and a shortage of secure jobs disproportionately affecting youth in developing regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, the report underscores the urgency of our mission. As more than two-thirds of young people face anxiety due to job insecurity, the need for innovative solutions that bridge the gap between education and employment is critical.
