Unemployment in Africa - What is the Way Forward?

Mike Mukula 1 August 2011

The African continent is day by day sliding into unemployment and
poverty, especially of the youth. If leaders do not make long-term
strategic plans, Africa will certainly be plunged into another cycle
of subjugation and violence. The high fertility rate among our females
and population growth in most countries, speaks volumes! This is
because 50 per cent of people in most countries are below the age of
30. The spiralling rate of urbanisation exacerbates this threat. And
yet, the said rate is not in consonance with job-creation!
