Unemployment is highest among youths (15–24 years old) and particularly affects those without skills. Unless the challenge of youth unemployment is met, Zambia could face rising poverty levels in the future. Based on a survey of firms in the mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and construction industries, this study analyses constraints on the demand for youth labour and identifies five broad policy areas in which the government could help make it easier for firms to absorb more young people. | | Copyright Holder | Zambia Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR) | | Copyright URL | http://www.zipar.org.zm | | Filesize | 582236 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
