Africa is the world's youngest continent. By 2050, one in four young people in the world will be African. This youth represents an extraordinary potential, but also a major employment challenge.
The Labor Market
Youth unemployment in sub-Saharan Africa reaches alarming levels. Millions of young graduates struggle to find employment matching their qualifications.
Energy to Channel
African youth is creative, entrepreneurial, and connected. With the right tools and support, it can become the engine of the continent's economic transformation.
The Diploma Challenge
Many young Africans obtain diplomas that do not match the real needs of the labor market, creating a gap between training and employment.
Industrialization and Employment
Africa's industrial development is essential to create enough formal jobs and absorb demographic growth.
Entrepreneurship as a Solution
Faced with a lack of formal jobs, entrepreneurship represents a promising path for African youth. The Foundation supports business creation and self-employment.
