Africa's Rising Youth Population

By 2050, Africa is projected to have a quarter of the world's working-age population, with one-third of 15 to 24-year-olds residing in the region. The growth of the youth population in Africa presents both tremendous hope and concerns for sustained economic growth. The continent's transformation and potential mirror the rise of China and other global economic powerhouses. However, ensuring employment opportunities and addressing the unemployment crisis, particularly among young people, is crucial for stability and prosperity.
