This book brings together recent findings from quantitative and
qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men
and women engage with the rural economy, imagine their futures and
how development policies and interventions find traction (or not)
with these realities. Through framing, overview and evidence-based
chapters, it provides a critical perspective on current discourse,
research and development interventions around youth and rural
development. It is organised around commonly-made foundational
claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas;
have no interest in agriculture; cannot access land; are stuck in
permanent waithood; that the rural economy provides (or can
provide) a wealth of opportunity; and that they can be the engine
of rural transformation. It draws from existing literature and new
analysis arising from several multi-country and multi-disciplinary
studies, focusing on gender and other aspects of social difference.
It is a major contribution to current debates and development
policy about youth, agriculture and employment in rural Africa.
