Could entrepreneurship be the remedy to high youth unemployment?

It’s a common story across the continent. A student graduates from university. They celebrate the end of their hard work with proud family members.

But when they start job hunting they find they face fierce competition for a small number of jobs.

The International Labour Organization say one in five African youth were not in employment, education, or training in 2021.

But a similar proportion of Africa's working-age population are starting new businesses - the highest rate of any region in the world, according to the African Development Bank. So is entrepreneurship the answer to low job creation?

Alan Kasujja has been looking at this issue with a budding entrepreneur who is about to graduate and a university professor who has witnessed trends in graduate employment.
