Abstract

The chapter delves into the pressing issue of youth unemployment in Africa, highlighting the pivotal role of gender equality in addressing this challenge. By analyzing data from Afrobarometer surveys across 34 African countries, the study identifies key factors influencing youth who have given up looking for work, such as education attainment, urban-rural divide, and gender responsiveness of policies. It also showcases successful interventions like the Adolescent Girls Initiative in Liberia and the Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents program in Uganda. The findings underscore the need for targeted policies and initiatives to promote gender equality and enhance youth employment opportunities, ultimately contributing to sustainable development in Africa.
