It is widely acknowledged that youth unemployment is one of the
most critical challenges facing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This volume brings together an eminent group of international
scholars to analyse the extent and complex nature of this
joblessness, and offer a set of evidence-based policy choices that
could contribute to solving the problem in the short- and long-run.
Part I reviews the existing literature on youth unemployment and
underemployment in Sub-Saharan Africa from microeconomic and
macroeconomic perspectives, while Part II goes on to present
detailed country studies of Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and South
Africa. These studies offer a deep understanding of the situation
on the ground and consider country-specific solutions. Throughout
the book it is argued that the standard ILO definition of
unemployment is too narrow to correctly portray employment
situations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Several alternative measures of
unemployment are presented, which show that joblessness is far more
pervasive than commonly assumed in the literature. This volume will
be of interest to academics and policy makers involved in African
development.
